If you keep following this trend redsquid2, at this rate you will have simplified your mark to one dot any day now. Why the constant change? A dating code like case dots?

Just a matter of simplification. I hope to get the electro-etching equipment one day, but I don't think I will get down to one dot.

My mark is "The old Man", in honour of my ancestors - "Zen Knives & Leather Works"

This is a bit to low

Knifemaker Harry Mathews posted on the CKCA website wondering if the organization would be interested in putting together a listing of maker's marks. He had quite often seen posts on knife forums from people looking to identify a maker from the maker's mark on blade. Harry has stated that he would be willing to set up an email address for makers, or anyone else that would be able to help, to send information to. He will store the info until it is figured out how it will be cataloged.

What would be required would be photographs, or well done drawings of all the marks that a makers has had over the years. Information as to what years each mark was being used would be of great help. The maker's current contact information would also be useful, though that is something that will in many instances change over time.

This would be an invaluable resource. It would require some work on the part of the makers, and a great deal of work on the part of whoever takes on the job of cataloging all the marks and corresponding information. What I am trying to ascertain by starting this thread, is how much support the CKCA and Harry will get from custom knifemakers, and any others that have the kind of info that would help make this as complete a reference as possible.

It would really be great if we could get as many maker's marks of knifemakers that have passed away, or quit making knives, as possible.

This is going to be a huge endeavor, but it is one that the CKCA would be willing to undertake if they can get enough support to make it worthwhile.

I am also posting this in the knifemaker's Shop Talk forum.

Hello, new here. I am looking for the name of a knife maker that sold large knives on eBay. He signed his knives with an M, the first vertical leg of that M was longer. Can you help me identify him?

Is it the mark on the knife below? If it is, the makers name is Mike Stevenson. He's a member here, user name - mscwood.

I’ve said it for decades….makers should put their name on the knives, along with a mark if they feel the need I guess.

Most marks are forgotten in time….
