<br />
This is a exaggerated cross section of a knife. Section A is unground. Depending on the size of A, the knife can be saber or scandi ground. (A is larger in a scandi ground knife than on a saber ground knife). If A is ground...the knife is not a scandi.<br />
<br />
Section B can be flat, hollow or convex ground on either a scandi or sabre. Section B is the primary grind.<br />
<br />
Section C is the edge grind. It can be flat, hollow, or convex. It may not exist at all. If it doesn't, the knife is zero ground.<br />

It has 5172 on the blade. There is no etching on the blade though. I thought for years that the bulldog wore off the blade or something which dosen't make sence cause the blade looks great and dosen't look to have ever been sharpened. I heard that a version was made with no etching on it and was looking for an answer to that also. Only thing my grandpa told me was that the box is as valuable as the knife but i have no idea. The box is black with casexx and a bulldog on it and has red felt inside? Any info would help me answer questions I've wondered for years and would be greatly appreciated.

<br />
<strong>Wilkinson Sword</strong> began to manufacture the Mk I Survival Knife (which was invented by Ray Mears) in 1986.  The CSK185 Dartmoor Knife was released in early 2003 with updated alterations.<br />
<br />
The Dartmoor Survival Knife was finished by Wilkinson Sword at its specialist swords-making division in London, which produced swords and knives for the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) for supply to the UK Armed Forces.  This same factory made the swords for the Household Cavalry, the Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger, and the Ray Mears Bushcraft knives, amongst others.<br />
<br />
In 2004, MOD awarded its swords and bayonets contract overseas and in 2005, the Wilkinson Sword factory was forced to close.  With this, another piece of British manufacturing history disappeared.  When the factory closed, production of the Dartmoor Survival Knife ceased.  In total, 500 numbered CSK185 Dartmoor Knives and approximately 1000 without numbers had been sold.<br />
<br />
NOTES: The Dartmoor is a Grade B, unboxed, in Satin bead-blasted finish, with some minor marks.  Postage and Packaging worldwide is included. <br />
