Anyone recognise this maker mark, JN.

I've acquired this pretty little dagger. It's an exquisite and showy chunker of a thing, in beautifully figured Desert Ironwood with a Damascus blade. Anyone recognise the mark?

I don't know if Marcus Doyle is a member on here, but he's likely best placed to know, as he's previously made knives which used blades forged by others and handled them, with what look like very similar profiles to your swedged one

Thanks, Stew suggested this looks like a Mr Doyle handle. It’s one of Trev Burgess’s knives, I’ve a bunch that his wife has asked me to move on.

Does this mean Trev is no longer with us? He was a lovely guy, met him at a few meets. Very sorry to hear this if so.

Trevor died a couple of months ago. A lovely guy indeed. Him, Colette, myself and Lara used to do a few meetups or just go camping or holiday together. Only Col and me left of our happy gang now..
