@dnckdsxfosmfv: The HJ Fahrtenmesser — a German fixed-blade knife produced during the 1930s and 1940s. It has a single-edged steel blade measuring around 14 cm, with an overall length of approximately 24.5 cm. The handle uses black grip scales with metal fittings, while the knife is carried in a fitted metal sheath with a belt hanger. The design was based on the traditional German “Fahrtenmesser” — essentially an outdoor or expedition knife. Depending on the production period, examples can have different blade markings, handle construction and emblem details. Typical dimensions: • Blade: ~14 cm • Overall: ~24.5 cm • Blade width: ~2.5 cm • With sheath: ~25.5 cm • Fixed blade • Single-edged • Metal sheath There are also numerous reproductions and post-war versions, so appearance alone isn't enough to determine whether a particular example is original. #dagger #germany #learning #edit #4u
