Hello All!

I have a friend who has recently acquired the pictured knife in a trade. It is marked "OWEN" on the hilt and "011" on the reverse side of hilt. He is just looking for any information on the maker! Thank you, Chris

Knives 2015 list only one maker with a last name of "Owen", however, the listed maker is supposed to acid etch his blades with two knives, "Owen", and "Original".

The only other Owen I know of is Owen Wood, but he marks blades with his full name.
