Ok so I scrounged a camera... Did I mention I'm rubbish with cameras? Err- do I need to..? 
This is my only safe-queen a Wilkinson Sword CSK, serial numbered and mint.
Shown with a DF and SS4 for scale.. It's about 7.25" of 440C at 55-56 Rc.

I've taken the handle off for this shot, there is a concealed, retained big steel nut in the grip.. The black tube in the cut out in the tang centre has a flint match, accurate compass and other useful stuff inside (not the usual Taiwan junk!!)

INFI with the sheathes.. I'm still waiting for Leatherface (or Rainwalker) to get a standard Badger in to make me a proper sheath.. Right now the Badger is in an Ontario SP Navy sheath!

Sorry this is a lousy photo but it shows what the tip looks like on a BB7.. Does anyone out there actually think the asymmetric edge was a good idea?? My S6 is like a scalpel..

I have always liked Wilkinson Sword as well. I just got an unmarked (except for a broad arrow and B2 code) FS dagger that was made by Wilkinson in WW2.
I will take some better photos later today.
I really like Paul's survival knife. I would love for Wilkinsons to make a big comeback. It really is a shame the state England is in regarding knives and personal freedom. It has gotten to be like East germany under the Stasi with everyone spying on each other.
Before the FS dagger the UK issued these rather nice RBD hunting knives from Wilkinson. I wonder if they still make them? If so it is going on my wish list.

So here is my new favorite T-shirt (I don't have a yard one yet..) with my new favorite users on it! The wife got me the T, I saw it but wouldn't buy it- too expensive! She decided the grin factor made it worth it.. great wifey!!
Hmm, image not working.. 
Phew, that took long enough to sort!!

I have now either totally ruined my assymetric edge or made it a useful near razor one depending on your view point.. Mine's the latter of course! I have totally reprofiled the dull, off centre curve profile and centred it set at around 50 degrees inclusive angle.. It is now VERY sharp! Not S6 sharp but it is still a work in progress- I intend to sharpen it symmetrical as I go along, over the years!
And I still can't find a macro setting!!
