The other day I was just sitting and looking on my HJ knives, and I found out, than the blades have different shapes/thickness. I have never thought of that before. Except of course that early type is without ricasso, and mid- and late types is with ricasso
I have only 4 pieces, but I think that there maybe is at pattern in it. I have made a drawing of the 3 different shapes, and have numbered them with the same numbers as the knives.
No 1. Is an early HJ knife: Only company name + Blut und ehre + no ricasso
No 2 is a middle period one: Company name + RZM marked + Blut und ehre
No 3+4 is late ones: RZM marked
No 1 has a relatively thin blade without ricasso
No 2 has a bit thicker blade with ricasso, but the ricasso is thicker than the back of the blade
No 3+4 has a bit thicker blade, and the back of the blade is as thick as the ricasso.
No. 1
No. 2
No. 3
No. 4
I hope that some of you guys want to examine your pieces, so we can see if there are any base in my assumptions, or if it is only coincidence.
