hi guys,
im trying to identify the maker of this blade, i bought it many years ago on the bay and put my own handle on it, theres no makers marks just the two acid etched trees.
cheers

Is it possible those trees are where the Makers name or mark has been acid etched out?

Is it possible those trees are where the Makers name or mark has been acid etched out?

My thought too - not everyone likes having Ray Mears' name, or Alan Wood's, on THEIR knife

Could be a Stuart Marsh ?

Is it possible those trees are where the Makers name or mark has been acid etched out?

This was my first thought also
