Your link doesn't go anywhere, so it is not possible to give a good answer, but I know that HERDER is the name of a cutlery in Solingen, Germany; I see many old kitchen knives with that name.

Herder is a german usa made knife, based out of Philadelphia. I have a mop herder knife I will post it as soon as I can find it. To my knowledge they still might be in business.

I heard that the factory Herder knives were made at in Germany was taken out (bombed) durring WWII… Lots of parts from the factory are floating around. I could have been missinformed of course.

Denny that is the mark of Friedr. Herder, Solingen Germany.

The candleabra trademark was registered in 1895.

The company went bankrupt in 1993.

ok, thanks tim. is it worth $70?

basser5 · Post by **basser5** » Fri Jan 31, 2014 12:28 pm

I would think so Denny.
The sheath is not original of course.
The wooden handled Herder lockback sodbusters bring as much as $125 on Ebay.
So i would think that stag would be worth at least $70.

Here is an old Herder I've had for a while and some information I got from Goins encyclopedia.

The blade on my knife has been ground to some degree and I have no idea how it looked originally.
