John Richter was and still may be an active duty Navy SEAL. I know he was forging his knives and had some articles written up on his knives in one of the knife magazines many years ago.

I corresponded with him years ago about making me one of his Lopper camp knives but at the time he was in the process of getting deployed and I lost touch with him as you can imagine in his "line of work". I am sure you have a fine knife on your hands if he was the maker.
