Very nice, and the first one that I've seen with an etch.

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

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.

Very nice example and it would be neat to see all the different "Office Knife" models produced by different companies together in a group.
