I see DAYMER, but that name doesn't come up anywhere.
Try rubbing chalk over it and see if it will bring the letters out better.

First letter is far more R like than N like A is 2nd letter probably Y after that then I think it ends with another R
Maybe a stretch but could it read Barber ? as in John Barber.
Yes it seems convoluted and a lot of intertwining. George Naylor is the one that I was looking more at. OrSH was stating that he thought the design was more from the 1830 era and Naylors were still selling cutlery at that time although it seems that the money in selling steel was where they headed in the long run.
It is an especially enthusiastically reground, rescaled 1810ish NAYLER.
