thorin6 Posted February 19, 2018 Share #13 Posted February 19, 2018 That may not be a theater made knife. It has the same characteristics as one variation of a E.G. Waterman commercial knife that was often bought for personal use. I've seen them in all sorts of variants and some not marked, like this one. Still nice to have a marked knife with provenance.

After looking around, I would agree with your statement of being a Waterman, or at least being copied from one. Thank you again, you have a good eye and memory.

groserm Posted May 13, 2018 Share #23 Posted May 13, 2018 Yes it is a Waterman. I picked it up off of EBay. Little rough but that is ok. I like the used I'D knives better than unused knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
