I just picked up a Reeve GB model, commercial, not issue. I don’t have the original paperwork. Are there any markings, perhaps under the handle scales, that would indicate the type of steel. I am vaguely familiar with this knife being made with S30V, S35VN, 4V, Magnacut, maybe even some others? Does Reeve mark this, and other knives that are made similar, like the Pacific, that have screwed on handles?
 
they did not have any marking for S30V and S35VN. So you will probably have to guess blade steel for blades without marking-not sure if the factory has a way to tell the steels apart without testing. 4V and magnacut are visibly marked on the blade.
