I'm told that Purdey does not make their own knives. Does anyone know the name of the company that manufactures them and where they are located?

I would not be surprised if they are Italian made knives, with the purdey name stamped on. I know they do this with their damascus over and under shotguns.

Not sure what the post above has to do with O/U barrels. I seen the Purdey factory tour video, which is about 2 hours long, and you can clearly see the workers making O/U barrels throughout the factory tour.

A friend has two identical knives, built in the Loveless style, damascus blades, rosewood handles, one plain one bearing the company logo on the choil. The unmarked one was made in India. I will try to photograph them side by side and post.
