The INOX mark that I can make out means basically the knife is stainless steel. It looks like a crown you have there but I can't quite make out the other writing. When I enlarge it, it blurs so you might need to get a better close up of that tang stamp Thank you Pedro. I will try to help if I can.

LOL, pedro I think the markings are backwards in the pic.  Can you read them to us? 

In metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inoxfrom French "inoxydable", is defined as a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% to 11% chromium.

I dont think so. The pic is on the right side. There is a crown on the center. Maybe the word above-right side couldo be "REAL".

it may just be a mark of one of the Sheffield Cutlers. The Crown would indicate that potentially. Lets see what they might say and if they recognize the mark.(There are hundreds of them)

I suspect that it is not an English-made knife. As mentioned, INOX is an abbreviation for stainless in French. It is also found on German and Swiss knives. It seems to include a hodge podge of poorly stamped marks, so maybe an Asian knife. Just my 2p.

Thank you S-K, I could not tell for sure on that and I agree on your INOX is French, but unsure about the rest of the markings still difficult to put together.
