It appears that Stephen Truelove made knives in Sheffield, UK in the late 19c'early 20th centuries. I have found not very much else about Truelove knives. I gather that they are rather rare.

Just acquired One of his Bowies. Marked TRUELOVE over HAND FORGED in front of the guard, Other side is unmarked. 6.25 in. blade, very sharp edge and clip point. Flat spine.

Similar knives are still being made in Sheffield.

Anyone have any more info?

Thanks for any answers.
