Thanks for posting & bumping this thread back up!
I believe they are also called a "Clasp Knife" by the British army. I'm not an expert but going by the tang stamp I think it was made in 1950 by H.M. Slater in Sheffield England. The arrow beside the year indicates it was a military issue if I'm not mistaken.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge will either correct me or explain in more detail 👍

Broad arrow = military issue for sure. I found this cool article when googling around last night: https://threepointsofthecompass.com...ast-from-my-dads-past-his-british-army-knife/

British Army Knife with Marlin spike, sheeps foot and bottle/can opener. Made in Sheffield England. It's a well made stout folder. I like it a lot. Marlin spike comes in handy when untying knots in wet rope.

That looks like a very utilitarian knife. I like it! :cool:👍

I think I'll start keeping an eye out for a cool vintage knife with a marlin spike. I only have a newish Rough Rider.

Contacted Böker Germay regarding this knife. Was told, that it has been produced exclusively for the US market and Böker Germany has no further information about it. My enquiry to Boker USA ist still pending and I wonder, if anybody here has some knowledge and informations regarding production period, materials used or any historical details for me. Would be graetful for any help in this matter.
