That's a beauty, Dimitri.
Who In Sheffield made that knife?
Are those Ebony handle covers or is that a molded resin of some kind?
It's really a smart looking knife and that blade is all there.
A favorite indeed.

Joe, don't know specifically who made this one.

Simply marked "Sheffield England", handles are damage free checkered Ebony wood!

Gives a really good grip in the hand when using it :D
