What's the current quality level of newly produced Fairbairn-Skyes daggers from John Nowill & Son? Specifically for the "base model" blued F-S. Anyone here happen to know?

Seems like owners of this knife on Youtube have had varying experiences? Thank you.
 
I have one, but it dates to the 60's or 70's, maybe even earlier. Adams, who own the Nowill mark, generally do reasonable work, and have been making the F-S pattern a long time, but I have no recent experience. There was another thread discussing them a few weeks back. I think good HT is crucial with a pattern like this, and Sheffield makers don't use sophisticated HT.
