It's a real knife made in India.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Real or Fake Antique Knife Made in Sheffield England
You'll see these also marked No 6 Sheffield steel, and a couple other similar marks, and there are fixed blades too. Most of these are not really antiques, most if not all are post WW2 knives. The No 6 is an attempt to fool people into thinking they were made by Joseph Rodgers whose knives are often marked No 6 Norfolk Street.

Definitely India, not even a style from Sheffield, kind of looks Spanish najava with a swing guard .

Re: Real or Fake Antique Knife Made in Sheffield England
Glad you posted it. It never hurts to rehearse what you know and get reinforced expert analysis. I've seen some much better looking Indian JRs,that would fool many a novice. Just goes to show people are the same all over the world.
