New knives to me

I have recently come into possession of several knives I have been unaware of them. E Bruckmann MANN. All 12 are about 3 3/4 inches closed and most have 2 blades and a corkscrew.They are beautiful knives and in the short time I have owned them have come to the conclusion they are about the finest knives I have owned. The reason I bring this to the Forum is I have been unable to find much history about them. The maker E Brückmann died in 1956 or so and none of this brand of knife has been made since. And most likely since WW2. These knives are so nice it is hard to believe they are of that age. Do I relate this history correctly? and I would appreciate comments and knowledge from you.

timdog44, if you could post clear pictures of your knives that would go a long way in getting comments and knowledge about your knives.

As the thread in the other forum says, it was believed that Robert Klaas assembled and sold off many of those Bruckmann knives, with parts acquired from the factory.

One thing about it, it's a fine looking knife!
Those wooden handles really make it stand out in my view.
