Pearl,, That is an Ichthys, and no points off for spelling. It was a symbol used by early Christians when it was not safe to be known as a Christian. I have no info as to how it might relate to the knife so marked or to any maker.
Hope this helps.

Not sure is is, with the tail closed like that. I never really paid attention but now looking at it, the knife marking has a closed tail, where Christian Ichthys , from what I am noticing, are open tail. I havent seen a google image yet of a closed tail. Just a curiosity to see if we can make more of this than need be. LoL

I think that's a 6 or a 9 just below the symbol.

Try researching knife maker, Clyde Fischer.
