To the best of my knowledge, this Sheffield was never issued. Does yours have (what I assume is) an shackle key on the "back" too?

Nope.
I keep meaning to get one. I should have been issued one, along with a G10 watch, but both were always out of stock at the QMs.

The one pictured is the version for civvy sales. The issue version just has the NSN and 'Oil The Joints' on it.

Not in the UK and actually never have been, but I have one in my collection that was gifted to me by a Royal Navy officer during a Baltic Exercise several years ago.

That would have been great if you were actually issued one. The U.S. Navy didn't issue me a damn thing.

My first pocket knife as a kid was one of these black diamond handle British Army knives and it served me well for many years

Here’s my broad arrow collection

British Army issued:
1940 J Clarke & Son, Sheffield
1943 (no maker mark I can see)
1970 Joseph Rodgers, Sheffield






Australian Army Issued:
Whittingslowe patterns 1 and 2 (circa 1940’s) made in Adelaide, South Australia
1992 Shelham (made in Japan)
