"Stealing" this suggestion (I think it's a Zen thing) from my bank statements:
THIS BLADE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

Get hold of Martindale Electric in Cleveland, Ohio and buy some undercutting saw blades... You can buy HSS or carbide..... they are perfect for jigging..... Various widths and diameters..... I used to buy 7/8" and 1-5/16" outside diameter for undercutting commutators.....

It's nice to be able to buy a tool, but making your own is a whole dimension of difference!!
For a hobby, I tried tooling leather for a time -50 years ago now - but I was never enamored of the typical leather-stamping tools on the market! They often produced "Tandy hobby designs" when I wanted something more original!!
I had access to a machine shop back then, so I made about 50 of them, of my own design! I wish I still had them!!
Sold them when I was in dire straights, a new parent, and distracted from hobbies!!
Someone saw the value, and paid me a lot of money for them!! They freed up my designs, mostly on Belts and Handbags! I also wish I still had some examples!!
Back to Knives . . . . . . . . . . . . and the making thereof . . . . . . . . . . . .
And Etches!!

 

[Rhidian]

Thanks all!!
Yes very true Charlie! Also there's a randomness to the cuts from the crudely made tool that gives it character. A precision wheel might look too perfect. And I'm cheap

 

[waynorth]

Cheap is good sometimes!!
I sure like the effect of your tool and Potassium Permanganate!!

This is what I picked up at the weekend and its a Lockwood Real Pamper with a strange blade identical to the OP's knife.

One final blade etch idea from me. This scrimshaw of Euler's Identity on a little stockman r8shell sent me never fails to give me joy. Who'd argue against a joy-inducing blade etch??

I knew a guy years ago who had that as a tattoo. Arguably the most beautiful equation.

That's pretty cool!
I don't go for "body art" myself, but if I did, Euler's Identity would certainly be high on my list.

Wait, isn’t the Euler's Identity now “The Titans” since the move to Tennessee?

That took me a minute, but that is an excellent cross between nerd joke and dad joke!

Learned something new...sheep dipping, nasty stuff. Blade Etch: Shepherd's Edge

The fact that it took me a couple of beats to "get" the fine word play there confirms that I'm not nearly the NFL fan I used to be.

Sure looks like the same pattern knife!! How long is it, please??

 

[gerryd]

It’s 7” open and 3.75” closed. I don’t know it’s purpose is and that’s a mystery but I would like to know. It’s well made brass liners and rivets and lovely stag scales.

It could certainly be called a "sheepherder"!! Maybe someone has seen it in a catalog!!??

I'm not sure about 'sheepherder'. I'm pretty sure Lockwood had connections with South & North America where they experienced counterfeit knifes bearing their name from Germany, thats when the Pampa trade mark was used. They did make a lot of different types of knife including skinning knives. The plunt tip on this and your knife would be useful. I've been trying to find a resource online with the Lockwood catalogue with out much luck. I might write to Geoffrey Tweedale in Sheffield he's probably the best bet.

Good luck on your research, Gerry (?)!! I'd love to hear about what you find!!

I’m calling it the “Sheeps Dip”
If it’s Kool with Carlie of course !!
