Thought I read a few years ago they were required but I don't see makers' marks mentioned in the requirements. Perhaps I've misread.

Flying below the radar in the judging room is a very sound tactic, if you are going to stand out, make it good. That being said a knife with no identification sort of stands out in a odd way, if you know what I mean. It is mentioned often that you must submit "completed" work and an unmarked knife could be considered incomplete. The judges would almost certainly wonder why you wouldn't want to mark your work.
