@mazadan the spike was originally used for splicing ropes and working lose knots , its called a marlin spike. being a farrier i would use a spike unless i had too to remove stones there is a great chance of going to deep and injuring the hoof. before you get your feathers ruffled im not saying it couldnt be used as a pickjust stating it original use. these style of knifes can still be bought new today from many boat and sailing supply houses
@moleman1961 Good deal, the 1945 model that I've got in a similar condition cost between 50p and £1.50 from a car boot sale (I can't remember exactly as I bought it about 3 years ago).
Do all originals have stampings? I just got one w o any markings at all. Its well made and solid, but lacks back lock, and rope tool.

@Axbent I would think all the forces issued ones were stamped.

the pocket knife is the same pattern that i was issued with when i was in the army.
though i was not in a cavalry regiment it is a cavalry knife due to the spike for taking foreign matter out of horses hooves
