September TOTM: German knives!

**medicevans** · 09-05-2012, 10:39 AM

Guys, great looking German pieces. Alas, I have no German knives, so I will be content carrying my SAK Tinker. It counts right? Since it has a cap lifter? Regardless, I had misplaced it and I found it recently, so I've been carrying it again.

Good choice. My son has a Tinker as his lone SAK (not counting the Rescue Tool in his car), and I like it a lot.

To me, the tinker is the perfect size sak. Just the stuff I'd use without all the other junk.

Kidding aside, are the words on the blade stamped-in, or etched deeply? They are (still) so clear.

P - Its a deep blade etch, guess they wanted to make sure everyone knew what it was.

This! ^
Thanks to Andi, my only German knife is my Red Cat k55k.

A couple of mine are this big whittler from Klaas/Kissing Crane,

and this fancy copperhead from Boker.

Jeff, I've always admired those Boker Copperheads. I can't count the number of times I've almost pulled the trigger on one.

No German knives here. Also don't think I have one with a caplifter (outside my leatherman).

Great thread here! Love pictures of all these great German knives to oogle!

Eisman, i believe the Herbertz you show was made in China. If so, nothing wrong with that. There are some superb knives coming out of China at this point in time.
