ADDITIONAL INFO:      I have heard old timers sing the praises of the fantastic old Henckels knives but this is the first one I have held in my hand aside from one or two small pen knives. The clip blade is deeply stamped or possibly acid etched; PREMIUM STOCK KNIFE. The edge of the average is crisp and sharp you can feel it with your finger nail. The stag is not worn down on this knife like one would expect from a knife that has been carried much all. I am 90% certain this knife was made prior to 1960 when Henckels stopped making their pocketknives and had poker make them instead. Boker make some very nice knives but this knife is three times the knife of the finest Boker stockman I have seen! As you look at the pictures you can appreciate the quality of this knife, even in my lousy pictures! When I hold this knife in my hand there’s one word that comes to my mind: Magnificent!

 

This knife would be a great addition to any collection but it is so brilliantly made it would almost be a shame not to use this knife for the purpose it was created! Please feel free to contact me if you need more pictures or information on this knife.
