It's possible the jimping was filed off along with the makers mark. The production team go to seemingly unnecessary lengths to alter items to a massive degree that have no real need to be changed. The Bulldog box is a classic example.
The nail nick does seem to sit higher on the screencap suggesting some material removal on the spine....
The Boker Plus was a sprint run slip joint model that came out after the success of the UKPK back in 2009. It never made it to mass production due to the high price tag and not being a one handed opener. I've been looking everywhere since 2013 for a good example. They were hard to get in 2009.
They took the whole thing apart and used two lids for the base and lid, grinding off the logo on both. They filled the lock hole on the base and changed the hinges, lock and locking plate, and then added an inner lip to the base.

Well after years (FOUR BLOODY YEARS!!!!!!) of scouring Ebay daily and second hand knife dealers constantly... for the WRONG knife. I can finally confirm that in SKYFALL, Bond does indeed use the Miguel Nieto Junior penknife, in the largest of the three sizes it came in (ref 0102). And the earlier models did indeed have no jimping on the spine, and that's the one you need to get. Which matches up exactly. I did at first think it was wrong as it should have the nail nick on the other side, but then I realised Bond holds the knife in his left and opens it with his right, and we see the mirror image, so the knife spec is correct. Production just removed the makers mark, which is just printed on, so an easy fix.
I also ruled out this knife as they are cheap mass produced Spanish knives. But in the context of the story, it makes perfect sense for Bond to kit himself out with a cheap but serviceable local blade. Pretty much like choosing an Opinel if he was in France.
For those that have this knife, could I asked where you purchased from? I found the knife on the website below for €12 which is a great price but when you include shipping the price goes to well over €40. This is still a pretty good price but was also wandering if any UK sellers stock it.

Got mine from Spain, I know Moonraker knives in UK stock nieto, but unsure if they have this model, they may be able to order in? I also found a Danish company but again around £25 shipping!
It was either that.....or the priesthood

I've placed an order for the 0102. I did ask in the comments to have them ship me an older version without the jimping as that was for sale in their retail shop. Will see how that goes.

With shipping it came to just under US$30.
Did you use aceros de Hispania? There actual premises is a great place to visit up in the hills with a great taverna quite close and a massive array of knives and swords....if your into that kind of thing of course.....and you find yourself in the area

Yep, I used aceros de Hispania. Thanks for the link. {[]
The overall cost with shipping was around $15 less than the other link for Cuchilleria Albacete.

Chriscoop, your link is to the 0104 which is the wrong model, you need the 0102 (7cm blade)

Any help would be much appreciated.
So just to clarify the present stock knife is the same with no revisions???
Ignore - just reread Asps post about jimping
I actually got mine, aceros de Hispania near zaragoza while visiting the area from salou, it does however have a website and does ship to the UK and also does have the 0102 in stock, only problem is their website shows the knife with the jumping.
If that's ok then try this

As they profess to make handcrafted knives, surely it wouldn't be so hard to get a 0102 without the jimping? It looks like the blade pattern is used on other of their knives without the jimping. Just an idea.
