Hello folks, I recently picked up a Bone handled bowie knife marked I. Wilson, Sycamore St. Sheffield, England. My understanding is that this may be a trade knife from the 1800's. Can anyone point me to some more in depth info on this manufacturer and possibly a narrower time frame of manufacture. I can post some pics, but not till next week.

Thanks, Rob

Google it...there are several bits of information on the web.

they made knives from the late 1700's to the 1970's they were the knife of the fur traders and were traded all over the world.I have an old one myself.They are very good knives.
