I think I may have got some heads scratching !
Will just say though I haven't posted this on the HJ forum - I don't even know what it is! Is there a link to the page where a knife like this was discussed?
larry, Reference wise theres a section in Frederick J stephens 'Edged weapons of the third reich' which went to print in 1971.
I don't know if you have it but I quite like it as it written by a collector rather than a dealer, which as we all know makes a big difference.
I can photograph the page it if that helps.
Is there any particular areas anybody would like me to photograph? maybe Il take a picture beside a hitler youth knife so you all can see the size of this........thing.
Cheers guys some good thinking going on!

It was the knife from MILITARYITEMS.COM that was discussed, the picture gerrit posted. You have to be a member to see pics though.

Its a really well made Boker product, i really like it but not sure of this hj Forestry story
might have just been a hunting/fishing knife made for the masses during the early TR period, jmo.
