Show your *traditional* Boat/Sailor's knives

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/
