Taylor's Eye Witness(1838- ) of Sheffield was a brand of Needham, Veall, and Tyzack(who've been sold to another company, who continues to use the trademark). The knife sounds like a post WWII dagger.

Check Ebay for a current price. If it's in excellent shape, it's probably in the $50 range.


The handle might not be Bakelite or such, but actually a fiber/brass/leather disk combo. These were pretty popular on these type of knives. Post a picture if you can.
