Locating a Knife Maker - picture added below
« on: December 30, 2009, 03:15:35 AM »
I bought a beautiful forged longknife at a show in Virginia during the mid to late 90's. I don't recall the name of the maker, however, the initials FS or GS are struck into the blade. Does anyone know of this maker?

Could it possibly be "ES"?  Ed Small?

Here is a picture of the touch mark. I am guessing it is FS, possibly GS.

I believe that the makers name is Joe Scott from West Virginia. I have a blade marked that way that I know came from Joe Scott. Joe is a member of CLA and I believe The Horner's Guild. You can probably contact him thru the CLA Web site.  Good luck  Dennis
