This is a lovely service used condition early HJ Fahrtenmesser (trip knife), marked on the blade by blade by the desirable maker J. A. Henckels Zwillingswerk of Solingen. This early HJ Knife is a very good example of the type, showing honest period wear, giving it a great "salty" patina. The plating on the steel hilt is worn, probably retained at only about 40 50%, with wear from the securing strap as well as use.
