This knife comes from the Cocos-Keeling islands in the Indian Ocean. The sparsely populated islands are part of Australia and are owned by the Clunies-Ross family. A British presence on the islands during WWII led to a number of these knives eventually finding their way on to the market. I'm told they were produced by a couple of generations of the same family.

You can find more on these knives by searching this site for "Cocos Keeling."
