All About Pocket Knives

I am trying to determine if there is enough interest in Henckels knives, pocket knives as well as fixed blades and Kitchen knives, to start a forum dedicated solely to the Henckels brand.

If you would be interested in a Henckels forum please answer this thread and say YES!

I will get the ball rolling with the first vote: YES

Dale, I would love to see one put me down as a yes.
Great quality old tme knife maker.

I'd love to see it!

I have a few old Henckels;put me down.

Absolutely YES, since i have many older Henckels knives. Up until 1960 Henckels was the manufacturer of the best German made folding knives and possibly the best world wide except for vintage Jos. Rodgers. Henckels also produced the widest range of knives for home & industry. I have 2 old Henckels catalogs with about 2000 pages each.
Henckels definitely deserves it's own Forum.
Thanks Dale.

Yes. I have a few older Henckels knives and their quality is second to none.
Rick

Yes, I don't have any before 1960. But, I want as much knowledge as I can get.

Yes.definitely.

Dale, I'd be a looker, I have a few laying around, some I've used back in the day as butchering knives. Good idea! Terry

I hope the response is sufficient to proceed and create a "Henckels Made" forum.
The folding knives marked "Henckels" have all been contract knives since 1960. These knives now the same as the manufacturer's own patterns but marked "Henckels". These have little value as collectibles. However the Henckels made knives are very collectible as well as being sleek and solid marvels, like a Porsche tank !
When the contracting out began the knives made were copies of Henckels own patterns. Some also have Henckels distinctive bone or Stag for handles. These knives can be difficult to tell if Henckels made or contract. The Henckels forum will be The Place to post these knives to get the opinions of other Henckels collectors. We will all learn something from these posts.
At some point, and i don't know when, the contract knives stopped being Henckels own patterns and became identical to the manufacturers patterns. These are easy to ID as not Henckels made.
When might we see the "J.A.Henckels" forum open ?
