Is the type 1a worth anything? I have one that was given to us by my wife's father who was part of the failed Dieppe Raid. He was one of the lucky ones that made it back off the beach, granted with a few bullet holes in him.

Hallo Sehr gute Videos! Danke dafür! Verkaufst du Messer aus deiner Sammlung oder kannst du mir einen Tipp geben wo ich einen „Teilesatz“ her bekommen kann? Original oder auch Repro? Beste Grüße

Hello, i have this knife with the same marks as you show in your video, what is the aproximative value of it ?

I believe I have a type 1 A. I would love to share photos of it to you. My grandpa brought it back from the war

I have a knife that needs repair. Are you taking any new jobs?

I really liked reading your book. I would have wished that you would have integrated a few pages on the type IV or type V. The type V seems to have a different way to lock the knife, as they a the decent in the blade. I also found two errors in the German version, you probably already know they exist, however I can send them to you if you provide me with your email.

Hello. I have a WW2 Gravity knife, Smf, that has a blue logo on the wood. Can I show the pics to you? Perhaps you can tell me its origin. Ich danke Ihnen. Mike

What’s the difference in the first two examples of the symbol on the spike? They look the same..

Hallo ich habe ein solches messer bräuchte aber bitte hilfe um es zu spezifizieren.

I was given one of these and I have not much knowledge of knives or any sort of vintage military equipment. I’d love to know more and possible value on my piece. Anywhere I can go to get more info? Thanks in advance!

Dude... make more videos! Maybe explain the official use of the nva fj Kampfweste with tricks and ways you made it work better for the FJ that weren't official? Maybe some stories about NVA FJ survival training?

Very nicely explained. I have one of these which my late father-in-law "found" during the action on Monte Cassino (he was 2 Korpus Polski) but the blade has been snapped. He was found in possession of it in the late 1940s in London. Explained how he got it and was allowed to keep it so long as the blade was removed or snapped. I can see now why he chose to break the blade. The bloodstained fingerprints on the blade are allegedly those of the original owner. Would have it restored but they're illegal in the UK so . . .

I am going to buy one from Lebanon , the same model completed it will be here within month and no inox only SMF LOGO

Fantasztikusan klassz ez a kés ! Szeretnék egy ilyet 🇹🇯

There is one of those in the collection that my father left me. I know this knife since i was a chiild and the story behind. it was the knife of one pilot of the Legion Condor that had an accident in Asturias Spain around 1937/38 during the Spanish Civil war .Next time I go Spain ill check it out.

Outstanding,I just bought my first two, does anyone repair them,I'm missing parts on one

They just had to File 18+ Models of the same thing Add This to the Why Bad list of the Windmill Cult

I was able to determine that I have a type 1 a knife thanks to your video

Where can one buy one

👍🏾 🇹🇯

MB I - s 👍🏾 🇹🇯

That model, or a model similar used to be quite common and plentiful in army surpluses where I grew up. I didn't like them because they were rattle-y. I wish I'd picked up a half dozen of them. Oh well.

Thanks again for the great video! Question on springs durability, I have seen quite a few knives with broken or repaired springs, how fragile are those, in all the years of your collecting experience have you ever broke one just by opening and closing it ? Sometimes I want to play with one I have, but kind of worrying if I’ll brake that spring.

The lanyard loop got cut off there.

Is possible to have SMF rostfrei but with type B arrow?

for God's sake back the mic up from your face

Soligen Stahl ist die beste! I have several blades made in the Soligen Fabrik.

Excellent video and very informative. I do have one interesting knife not covered. Takedown version with 1 spike pin, carbon steel with Stainless blade. No markings except for #203 on blade release lever. Any ideas?

Great video! Thank you! At 2.55 min mark it is mentioned that Type 1 Weyersburg knifes have two rivets for the spike spring. I have Tipe 1 Weyersburg knife with only one rivet. What category would it go to? …..😉

Hi Peter, first many thanks for the excellent made video. You can always find new information regarding gravity knives as information about the post-war models in particular is very rare. I would like to see more of these videos 😎

Outstanding video of another rare example! It is wonderful to see you back here again, my friend. I look forward to seeing more of your top-shelf work and videos! All the best to you.

Sind die Teile mit der gleichen werkseitigen Kennzeichnung gekennzeichnet oder nicht? Sie haben irgendwie geantwortet, dass Sie nein sagen, nicht unbedingt. Aber jetzt stimmen die 41-Markierungen auf dem Video überein , und sie weisen darauf hin, dass dies ein wichtiger Punkt ist. Deutet das wirklich darauf hin, dass die Details nur in einer solchen Situation echt sind? Oder ist der Unterschied in den Zahlen immer noch nicht so wichtig?

Like war mal wieder interessant

🎉🎉 Endlich ein neues Video!))

Hello! Great video. I have one, mine has a the "5" stamp on the spike, nothing on the blade. Not quite sure where it falls in the rareness field. Grandfather got if from a prison camp in Germany after the war ended. He was a Red Devil paratrooper.

Interesting channel. I have a pretty good DDR FJ collection and even use some DDR FJ kit here in the wilderness of Alaska. I hope you make more videos in the future. I think the topic has great potential. Greetings from Frozen Alaska.

Another Idahoan thanking you for info. Two very nice knives

How much are they worth I have one that was given to me buy a friend of my that sad he found it in a old house when he was small .saw me a video on how to take apart it is 3 serial number needs to be restored.what are your recommended. Looking to sell it

Great video

Are there any quality reproductions of these made today?

I Havel a rare gravity knife

A very interesting video. I'm not sure that I'd use a Dremel cutter with my thumb so close underneath the blade though!

It appears I have one on the Type II bi - ca. 1944. My father brought it back after the war. He was in the 94th Infantry. He said they found these knives at a bombed out factory and there were cases of them. I think it could of possibly been near Belgium.

Deutsche Technik seit1900 unerreichbar für die ,, Weltmächte nach1945 ,die unsere Techniker und Forscher, leider in ihre Weltordnung eingebunden haben.

I have one from my Grandfather he was in the SS ... , always played with it as a kid, did not what it is :D. Best from Munich !

Hallo , schönes Video ! Kommt der zweite Teil ( Part II ) noch ?! VG

Ich habe ein Typ2 mit einem "Platelet" drin die anderen Teile sind aber wenn ich richtig schaue identisch mit denen aus dem 2.Wk. Die Nummern stimmen auch alle überein, wie im Video beschrieben an den gleichen stellen vorhanden. Restbestand Anpassung nach dem Krieg evtl.?

I had one in highschool I carried constantly, but don't have anymore, it was actually camo, with the plastic and spike, I can't find the camo pattern ones when were those made?

I did not see the English version of your book on the publisher site. Can I email you directly to order an English copy?
