Picked this up today from a toolbox in a local charity shop. The remnants of what was at one time, a valued knife. I think its quite an old one-as you can see the blades tip is somewhat differently shaped than your bs no.9 but, can't really tell if it was modded after purchase or not. Anyone have greater knowledge on these please? Its been degunked and now resides in a bain du vin for a week or so. Have a nice piece of spalted something or other for a new handle. The grind on the blade believe it or not for such an old, more or less discarded knife is incredible. You would not want to run even your fingernail down it I can tell you. No idea what the grind is-it is flat right across the blade i.e. no bevel whatsoever but it was definitely 'the' sharpest tool in the box! Sorry for the poor photos(only 4 wks til I get my decent camera!)
