I don't believe anybody has posted an "A. J. Jordan". I've always like the triple A-1 stamp.

1fs, that is a burly knife!
Roger you have a really impressive collection of M&G knives. The MB / MG Colorado stockman is a classic
Mason, I have not seen an A.J. Jordan before - what a beautiful example!

Thanks, and yes they were. Jordan started out in 1871 as a cutlery retailer in the United States but then opened a factory in Sheffield England in 1885 where they produced their own knives. They also continued to sell imported knives from Germany.peanut740 wrote:Mason that's a fine knife. Aren't most of their knives made in England?
