Some notes from Germany. The first knife is an ordinary civilian hunting knife , a socalled Nicker ( Genick- neck). It was used for the final stab of small game Ingo the neck. Usually this knives have a sheath like the third knife. Formerly in southern Germany, not only Bavaria, Lederhosen had been popular, and even in new produced leather trousers there is a pocket for such a knife, which was formerly the EDC knife of southern Germany. In 80s/ 90s you sometimes could see an elderly man still carrieing such a knife.
Intriguing. One of the roots of my family, my Great Grandmother, immigrated from Bohemia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Moved to Kansas. Lot of Krauts were moving to Kansas, then. I understand not staying in NYC, but Kansas? She and her family were naturalized. I think her eldest brother joined the U.S. Army. Went into WWI and we got him back to bury. Hello from San Diego California. Go NAVY!
Thanks for this very interesting and informative video. I have a knife similar to the second example. However, it is single-edged, with a false edge on the upper side, running about halfway along the length of the blade. The scabbard is tan (deer skin?) with a brass throat and chape. There are no manufacturers stampings, though a skull and cross bones, done in ink, can just about be made out on the scabbard. Could this denote the particular unit that it's original owner belonged to?
