These are pictures of two knives that have very similar characteristics.One is a 2 blade made by Browne&Pharr and the other is unmarked.
They both have machined nail marks,dovetailed bolsters and rosewood scales.The blade grinds are very similar.
From what I understand,B&P only made the one style of knife before they went out of the knife business.Any one have an idea on who may have made the other one? I cannot believe that anyone would make a knife of this quality and then not mark it in some way.
When I got it the blade was pretty messed up and required a bit of polishing to bring it to this state.I'm wondering if there may have been a hot stamp or a light etch on it originally.
Anhy information or speculation would be appreciated.

Re: Browne&Pharr and?..........
the unmarked blade version and no screws is one of those made by an employee with liberated parts. it is not a Browne and Pharr knife, it is a fake.

Thank you for the reply.I was just curious as to who may have made the knife.Do you think it might have been one of your employees? When I get knives such as this I like to try and trace down their origins.Whatever the case it seems to be a well made knife and seems to hold an edge very well.
EDIT BTW Welcome to the forums!
