Finally picked up my HJ knife I bought a full year ago, cuz the guy in Minnesota wouldnt mail to me in Canada thanks to our, paradoxically, fascist government confiscating them! This is a LEGAL product in Canada and you can get them online...only of course for THREE TIMES the price of a US seller...So I had him ship it to my buddy in Florida, and he only just was able to drive it to Buffalo where I crossed over and brought it back with zero issues ..LOL, he was scared to bring it over himself, since he is a Canuck and trying to relocate he and his family and business (LEGALLY) to the States, and didnt want to "risk" anything with the border folks...Many eye-rolls! Anyway..it's a beautiful piece with the motto, and made by "TIGER!!" (seems appropriate!), AND is acid-etched on the reverse with "Plon", which is a castle town in northern Germany which had a Prussian military academy...so Im guessing this was issued to some hard-assed kid!..I wish there was some way to tell that kids family I have their grand-dads' knife, OR the American vet who brought it home....that it's now in MY good home, and I will cherish their trophy for the rest of my days!...
I am german. How can you call a Fahrtenmesser a dagger? A dagger , in german Dolch , is a complete different item. Also as , Ladenhüter' ( german slang for an item, which is for years and years unsold in a shop ), you sometimes today can find this knifes in older knife/ cutlery shops.
Hey guys, like the video. I am a HJ knife collector myself. Last month I got a very nice 1936 WKC one in almost excellent condition, unfortunately missing the grip diamond emblem. I need a small early one. Do you have anything for sale? And how do I contact you, besides via RU-vid? All the best and greetings from the Netherlands. Mike
