With the current lack of outside activities, for a fun and profitable way to create some more fakes - all you need is one of those postwar small aluminum hilted knives, an HJ hat pin original or reproduction (your choice), and a drill. Drill a couple of holes in the scabbard (and through the liner) and you are in business. The picture here showing just that with the very rarely seen fake inverted RZM marking. Or you do it the way the original decades old fakes were made by grinding off the mouthpiece rivet, drilling the holes, and then reinstalling the mouthpiece with a new rivet and touching up the paint - It's still a fake but that is all that is needed to pass the "wiggle test". (Or the lazy way with a glue or epoxy that does not pass the test). Please Note: My remarks are intended to be factious, not to encourage somebody to actually increase the numbers of fakes that collectors have to deal with. Best Regards, Fred

Like Fred and others I believe the DJ knife is a fake type invented by certain dealer in the 1960's. The fact is I've never seen one advertised in a TR era catalogue and as Gerrit showed in some maker catalogues, the HJ knife is advertised for "HJ & DJ". These knives are very likely post war variations for camping purposes.
