Vintage Sheffield knives in such fine condition are not easy to find. Dimitri you have so many fine knives.

Interesting that it has the same etch on both blade sides.
And no mistake who the sponsor was with the Marsten's name on the handle shield as well. :)

I have one by the same company, it too has a rough / worn tang stamp, the company must have made a bunch of them to wear out the tang stamp! ::nod::
