The tang stamp appears similar to this one from the 1930s. The stamp is also is similar to a WWI military knife I have. I think your knife dates from early 1900 to 1930s.

Thanks for the info big time. Any idea on this knife with this stamp? Thanks if you have it.

I’d firstly like to say thanks for the add! I also have a knife by said maker was curious as to its age. Thinking around the Great War period but, not sure. Canadian proofed. Could you help?
Cheers!

I believe that is indeed a Canadian Army WW1 issue knife, but I'm not the expert. You should post it over at the British and Commonwealth Military Knives thread: viewtopic.php?f=44&t=9829
