I purchased one of the regular production knives they were making in 2002. The knives were really bad and so I called and was told they could not produce a good knife because of the "British Knife Law". After several discussions, one of the managers offered to make this knife since it would not be sold in the UK and could be considered exempt. It is not based off of anything but an original WWII knife and as far as I know it is the last fully sharpened knife they made with the checkered handle. If you search the internet it is possible to find photos of their last production and you can see the buffed over grind lines and butter knife edges of the last knives.
