<p>I would agree with Mark. Definitely appears German and I know I have seen that stamp before. The latest "re-edition" of Anthony Carter's book is excellent and now I'll have to check it myself as I am curious which one that is!</p>

<p>Interesting, the master tang stamp is styled to look like pseudo hallmarks.</p>
<p>Based on past experience, the R probably stands for Rostfrei (stainless) and the knife is probably of German origin. Chances are the markings are ID'd in Anthony Carter's book on German makers and markings (available through the Knife Magazine / Knife World Books website) but you'd have to flip through it page by page looking for the marks.</p>
