I searched the world over before finally finding this beauty. A J A Henckels Army with a tapered tang, 1st style EPack fittings, and that beautiful type 1 grip, the so-called, slant grip. This acquisition came complete with the original storage bag. I use a set of Henckels kitchen knives and every time I use one of them, it brings a smile to my face........just thinking about this rare and beautiful dagger....

Black as obsidian with some lacquer still clinging in a couple of places.......

Hi Djr


The blade itself seems to be in very good condition. Do you have the hangers that belonged to this dagger?

I own another J A Henckels Army dagger also, but it has those rare aluminum fittings that I love so much. They make for quite a pair....

The other aluminum fitted Army is a PUMA, very rarely found with this type fittings........

Did not come with hangers or portepee. I was just glad to get it in this condition AND with the storage bag, an extra.......

The blade is virtually mint..........

DJR, That is a reall treasure that has everything goiing for it but I particularly love that hilt & the grip colour is beautiful!

Given the rarity of this maker such an early example must be almost unique today.

Found another JA Henckels Army dagger. Latest is a spitting image of my 1st. 1st type EPack fittings and scabbard, tapered tang, yellow slant grip w/hangers, brass based fittings and scabbard. This one validates my 1st and the other Early Henckels I' ve seen with the same type fittings and scabbard. I also own, as described above, an aluminum fitted JA Henckels and 2 JA Henckels mini / 1/2 size Army advertisers... Will post pics as I have time......
