- In this installment of the Hobby Journal Tom takes a look at a selection of HJ Knives. The humble fahrtenmesser has always enjoyed a great deal of popularity with collectors; there is a great deal to learn about what at first glance appears to be a simple knife!
Tom would like to thank everyone for all the positive feedback (and funny negative feedback) on the first Hobby Journal. Hopefully we'll be able to keep these going in the months to come.
hi there tom , could you make a video about the schutzpolizei bayonet ? 'cause i've been looking for this topic and i didn't find anything , i know you have a good knowledge in german daggers and bayonets and of course there's no one better than tom whittmann . i want to buy a few of these bayonets from the nazi police. thanks for this excellent video
Thank you for the excellent presentation! Yes, please continue with this series of Hobby Journals! Hope you find a nice treasure at the SOS!
Fantastic video Thomas, amazing collection and extremely educational
Thanks as always!
Thank you Tom, i truly thank you for giving me the privilege to see these pieces of art
Your wealth of knowledge is mind boggling lol. Love your videos. Very informative. Thank you. I would love a personal tour of your collection 😮
Dear Tom, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You're a fine man.
Very interesting presentation, impressive collection, allthough i only collect Wehrmacht soldier field gear, watched the whole video. Thank you!
Brilliant video, lots of great information! Thank you for putting it together for us
Tom, nice presentation. Thanks. I had an anodized scabbard version in good shape that I picked up very reasonably (at a gun show) when I was young. Traded it away eventually for some junk or other, as kids sometimes do. Was told by a collector at one time to actually look for a very slightly loose HJ diamond, because the method of attachment of the bent over tabs tended to loosen somewhat over time, and so, was one (not foolproof) method of possibly checking for originality. Lots of repros have glued diamonds. Once saw a youth knife with a diamond with a blue and white enamel 'fleur de lis' in the grip! This again was many, many years ago. Not sure what that was about(?) but it seemed well done, and as though it had long been that way. (?) Was not able to examine it very closely, and would not have known exactly what I was looking at in any case at the time. Have you ever seen that?
great video Tom , as a customer of yours I appreciate the informative videos. would like to see more of your collection .
Well done Tom very interesting always thought did the germans make bowie blade HJ's now i know. Fantastic Thanks for your time and effort.
Tom,your the best kept it up! Love your input on the scabbards.
A few days ago i cleaned up grandma’s attic and guess i found not only a hj knife... also a hj badge too.. greetings from Germany
It's frankly amazing that these artifacts are still being uncovered, even in 2020!
Oh ja it is
Amazing 👍👌
Best one I have seen so far keep it up all the best for the rest of the year see you soon
Beautiful collection you have there
I would love to buy a real one i have the reproduction knifes but cant find any in my area these things are hard to find because there are so many collectors like your buddy with 200 of them makes it hard for others and the army surplus i go to says the prices makes it hard for him to buy and resell loved the video though very good info thanks WAM
Thanks Tom ! Hope all is well. Btw you have a beautiful home !
Thank you! I'll try to shoot a video up in the collecting room, if I can get the lighting to cooperate.
Awesome Collection. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Very informative video sir!Thanks a lot!
Very informative...thanks Tom
Very informative video and I learned a lot; however, I was really hoping you'd have mentioned the HJ watch bayonets or other variants of the dagger. As a collector myself, I enjoy seeing the unique and different variants aside from the mainstream versions.
Nonetheless, great video Tom and I can't wait to do business with you soon!
Also, I've seen HJ daggers where the end pommel had a design etched into it and had the diamond with the party insignia there. My guess is they were early blades but any additional information to them would be greatly appreciated.
Ah, the Watch Bayonet. I know he was going to mention them, but couldn't locate the one example we had on hand!
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria as for my other comment, any idea as to what year or why the HJ i've seen before had the Hj insignia engraved into the pommel area instead of the usual spot? it looked fancy. If I can find a pic of one I'll link it.
It turns out to be a HJ honour knife. If there is any information Tom is willing to share, I'm all ears. They're beautiful knives and more affordable compared to the other honour knives on the market.
I've got a youth knife with olimpic rings on it was wondering about it and a edch k 98 was wondering about it so many questions I have and know one to show them to
Those which are in very good condition and have the packaging were probably never used. I'm pretty certain mine was used as some thoughtful Hitler Youth put two Reich Phennings in the scabbard so they always have a little money on them. I looked up the RZM code a while back but don't remember the year but believe it's post 1938 and the Phennings were 1942 and 1943 btw
I have a knife my father-in-law was given to him by his great uncle. No one has been able to give me info on it. No I've got some references. Thanks heaps. It also has what appears to be a rego number etched into the blade. Like I said it's in excellent condition.
Espetacular ,simplesmente espetacular peças raras da segunda guerra sou fã
Sou fã dos seus vídeos e documentários e acompanho você aqui do Brasil forte abraço
thank you Mr Whitman!!!
I just bought one here in Sweden, unfortunately the emblem on the grip is removed.. The blade is marked with “carl schlieper solingen germany”.
Is this knife post war? Does this ”carl schlieper” effect the price?
Would really appreciate a answer!
Great video!

With the name ,Fahrtenmesser' you could buy knifes of this style up to the 80s/ 90s in Germany. Of course without the HJ symbols.
My grandpa found one yesterday at the attic
Good job.
Dao rất đẹp rất tuyệt vời
Another excellent video Mr Wittmann. Will you be at the show of shows this February in Kentucky?
Thanks! If past years are any indication I'm pretty sure both Tom and his son Robbie will be off to Kentucky in 2019.
Was there ever an H.J.Knife in sawback ? Ricasso with motto no maker mark.No movement in diamond.
What does the LES and the oak leaf stand for on the leather strap as I have one on my m7/13 hitker youth knife and cant find out what it indicates
Nice video
Очень интересное видео всегда жду
I had the first youth knife you showed but I made a mistake and let someone borrow it about 8 years ago. Sux but that's why you shouldn't even lend friends stuff.
Would these knives ever be carried into combat? For example, did the young soldiers of the SS "Hitlerjugend" division carry these with them during their fighting in Normandy in 1944? Did they carry them during Volkssturm service in 1945 when in combat?
I wonder if it is possible for you to check out my HJ knive. I know for sure it is real, but for some reason the knife goes backward in the scabbard. What I mean by that is that the Swastika doesn't show when it is in the scabbard. Is that a known error? I tried putting it in the scabbard with the swastika showing, but it is quite obvious that the knife should'nt go in there like that. It just doesn't slide in smoothly.
I want that
Tengo uno. Ceo que es original. Con leyenda Solingen- Julius Erbert.
So interesting. Can you please make a video on swords. Thanks!
Thank you very much! We will absolutely be doing a sword video
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria That's great, looking forward to it.
Hello , why do you think my Knife it is a Fake ? is the jumping Point that it is a blue Diamant ? it look like a real , for Marines and the Seawater is the Glass Diamant and the Aluminium Sheat the better Variation for Saltwater , i dont know 😅
Fake? Not at all. He'd just like to see it.
Thank you for your next video! See you soon on SOS show!
I am curious do you have things from the Nazi motorcycle corps? Have seen some pins and badges but believe they had their own daggers issued also. I love your videos and figured you would be the one to ask.
Nice video, Im from Spain and I saw a curious version of the Falange Española (fascist party) on internet.
это все оригинал???
Да. Все ножи в этом видео являются оригинальными.
They look so nice and sofisticated.
I would like to have one. not political purposes.
Grüße aus Leipzig, Germany
man content amaing but you need buy a smal mickrifone to that you dont have such bad sign
I have a Hitler youth knife made from Germany
:D I think most generally were :D :D
Очень интересное видео можно с вами связаться хотелось бы приобрести Гитлер юнгейт
Поблагодарить! У нас они есть на нашем сайте.
If my Hitler's youth knife doesn't have any marks or things on it, is it still real? Like it's almost brand new
Unfortunately, the first HJ-knife shown in this video (the early one) has a reproduction diamond...Not a good start to get informed about these greatly collectible knifes...
