Well I know the G makes it one of the King Georges but I keep looking for which one

An interesting read on the company  http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/2173-josep...

Seems they were cutlers to his majesty King George the V (1910)

and George the IV (1822)

Sean, from everything I have been able to find from informed sources, your knive is in the King George V reign-(1910 -1936). More accurately,most place it in the 1915-1920 time frame- No later than 1936- Posts from informed collectors place it in the earlier range, from examples in old catalogues,etc. although I can't find the actual catalogue images- The concensus is the later George VI knives is, were of a different look- This would put your knife in the probability of being a "Trade Knife" which would make sense for a skinner blade~~~
