Could anyone help identify this knife?
I purchased it as part of a package deal a few months back. I cannot remember the maker. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Looks like an A. Wright and Sons knife (some of their knives have the company name, some just the same oval stamp you have). While Wright's are best known around here for their lambsfoot knives, they also make sheepsfoot blades, which is what I think yours is. If the spine of the blade is parallel to the edge, it's a sheepsfoot; if the spine tapers down as you move toward the point it's a lambsfoot.

I have an A. Wright sheepsfoot that I carry fairly often (given to me by Jack Black Jack Black ). Congrats on a nice knife. Here's a recycled pic of mine:

Agree it looks like a A. Wright & Sons.
My A. Wright & Sons looks like a sheepsfoot. However, there is a 1 mm taper from tang to tip.
(Makes sense with the "Real Lambs Foot" blade etch. I measured it because like you said, they also make a sheepsfoot blade. My old eyes (6 with bifocals) thought they made an "oops", by etching and installing the wrong blades.)

That's a nice Ebony handled Lambsfoot by A. Wright & Sons. Some Lambsfoot blades taper more than other but yours definitely has a taper to it.

congrats and come visit

Thank you so much guys. That is what I thought, but as it wasn’t signed any further, I didn’t want to make assumptions. Thank you for confirming this and the invitation I do lurk an a lot and post occasionally.
Have a great weekend,
Scott
