I read somewhere these knives are fakes and they were never used during WWII. Is this true? Do they have any value?

I have been seeing these for the last 20 some years, I have always wondered about these knives also.

Total fantasy knife - never German military issue.
However, the design did exist in reality.
Joseph Rodgers applied for a patent for a metal pantograph knife in the nineteenth century.
There was also I believe a patent in Germany in the 1920s.
The SS marked knives are valueless to a collector.
Find a authenticated Rodgers version and you will be a rich man !

This is a fantasy knife good looking, but not the real deal.
As already stated, these are fantasy items dating from the 1970's. Curiously enough, they do have a value. Some people like them for what they are and i have seen them sell for up to $100. Crazy if you ask me, but there you go....
Cheers, Ade.
The first time I saw these was when Sussex Armoury were selling them back in the 80's.
They retail for $18.00 on several sites and I have seen them as low as $10.00. They are total fantasy Third Reich knives.
