Hi
What do you think about this knife? My understanding is that there usually should be a motto on the blade when the maker name is used on the ricasso. Is this correct?
Could I get your opinion?

Only the earlier versions have the Blut und Ehre Motto...
cheers, Glenn
Sorry, it's a post war knife
Thanks, what gives it away?
That was my understanding that 1938-1945 models have no motto and no maker mark or logo. So if there is a logo like that there should also be a motto on the blade?by bigmacglenn1966
Incorrect rivets on the handle for starters.

I've never seen those rivets on a HJ knife. I wonder if that indicates the grips have been replaced or removed so a HJ diamond can be fitted. Photo is not good enough to comment on authenticity of the diamond. The maker's mark is a mystery to me, but I would say post war scout knife disguised as HJ.
It's one of those post war scouts knives with the HJ diamond added - purely to deceive
A good thread to read from a past member shows that many of the period producers who survived the war..were still producing ..some up to present day..of these hJ knives.
I have one of these produced in the 1970s by Robert Klaas.
