Yeah. I don't normally use any marks except my surname, but decided to add the year onto this as a nod to the original knives.The handle looks like my original. Very nice. 23 on guard for year? Also the guard is better than mine, more stout, - it got bent somewhere along the line.
Thank you very much.As a member of a Fairbairn-Sykes OSS/SOE combatives research group.. I am giving you four thumbs up on this![]()

Your comment on the handle has made my day.I've done a fair bit of knurling before, but never anything that isn't parallel. I wasn't sure how to do it for the best, and even made a handle from aluminium to practice on. I was starting to think it might be easier to go for a 3rd pattern grooved handled, but I'm glad I persevered with the 2nd pattern style now.
Thanks for all your comments.
As always, they're very much appreciated.
Ian.
