English Military Knife (??)

Hello everyone.
Just got this one in a couple of days ago. It looks and feels really heavy duty like a military knife. The markings say "W & S B SHEFFIELD 1943" and there is an arrow by the date.
Can someone educate me on the particulars of this one?

Thanks for looking!

Mike

BAK (British Army Knife) The arrow you mentioned is the British MoD (Ministry of Defense) acceptance mark. You'll see the 'crow's foot' on WWII Fairbairn Sykes British Commando daggers as well.

Here are a couple of different versions.

Thanks for that info Jerry.
Any idea what the "W & S B" initials stands for?
