Hi guys,
I have already shown these two in my 'collections' post, but i thought I would share some more detailed pics of my HJ knives.
This first one was actually MY first one. As a matter of fact, it was my first HJ item I collected. it planted the seed as they say. it is nothing special, ca. ~1938, no motto, missing grip fastener, but it does hold sentimental value to me.
They both have the ubiquitous 'wobble' to the swastika plate, and show honest wear, as a camping knife should. i always think of the many Boy Scout knives I used to see as a kid, and the wear each one would show, after being thrown against trees, into the ground, used to dig, etc...I would think these young German boys would be no different
This second one is one I had been hoping to add to my collection, as it has the engraved motto. It is difficult to see, but it is there. I recently had a dealer friend of mine bring it back from SOS for me.
