Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Which is a German word for hunting type knives. Got in the lot described in Something New forum and am way happy with them! Shown with 2 others that were close at hand. SW

Top - Puma. Great steel! took an edge right away and sliced leftover roast beef thin enough to pass light.
2nd - unmarked with handle cast off for left handed people.
3rd - L. Hoffritz of Schweinfurt
4th - Sawback Hubertus. The saw teeth are well & truly sharp enough to sail right through a deer pelvis.
5th - Unmarked other than 'Solingen' - where it was made. Still, very tight and sharp.
6th - Unusual maker's mark we have yet to identify. End cap shows, (unreadable) OX. Might be Fox or Inox really not enough room for the latter.
Bottom - "micro-nicker" Andrey found for me. I leave it on the kitchen table as a letter opener and item of amusement for the children.

German style eagle marking on the Hoffritz blade - still looking it up.
