Aha! Larry cracks the code!

It is NOT a WKC dagger. As far as I know, WKC never made SS daggers. It is an Eickhorn ground Rohm dagger. The motto' distance down the blade and other characteristics confirm this.

TW and I used up a few Scotches figuring out what may have happened. We think that when Rohm became shot, there was a scramble to get his name removed from daggers. This particular one got sent to WKC. They took off the dedication, then engraved their trademark on the blade. Yes, the trademark is engraved, not acid etched.

Voila
