More Henckels Deerfoot

[outkast]

So last time I posted my newest Deerfoot patterns we had a little debate about era and what not. Thanks to Neal Punchard's new book
( J.A. Henckel Knives ) we have some model #'s and production years as well as an old advertisement. Anyway on to the blades, these 2
newest acquisitions are definitely not my best examples. I usually always try and buy up from what I have but you just don't see these.
So if I can afford them I get them every chance that arises.

Those are the bee's knees, ain't never seen one before but I will keep an eye out now.

Amazing ! It is difficult to find just one of these old knives. They are pre WW II and likely from closer to WW I.
I would like to see a picture looking down onto closed blade to see how thick the blade stock is. The old ones have thicker stock than what other manufacturers used.

outkast, thanks for the nice comments towards the Henckels book.
You have built a great collection of the deer foot models which are not easy to find. They are one of my favorite Henckels patterns which date back to at least the 1870s, and probably a bit earlier. They are also found in several different variations as seen in some of your nice examples.
Did you notice in the 1927 ad from the book how much more the Henckels deer foot model was than a high grade "Press Button" or "Marbles Safety Knife"?
