Perhaps it is the common-ness of it. One sees these things again and again; similar or the same (note the "CP" on Ferguson's new bolo is NOT the same); he wonders what they mean. On the handles of N American knives it is common to find a large letter "V" These knives are not from a single maker. They are cutler-made to home-made. They are found in no particular region. There seems to be no association with "V for victory", as they are most usually butchering knives. What does it mean? Is everyone in US named "Vigor" and I haven't noticed?....puzzles
