F.Dick cleaver knife

youre not allowed to ask values unless a paying member. so no one can help you on that question. there is a dealer who sells some of the models of this brand and who participates here. he may have some good info for ya, other than value of course.:)

oh! thanks, I will correct it! :)
But, I would really like to something more of this one.. What the writings mean etc.
 
What you have is a pig splitter by F.Dick, a German maker of quality butcher knives as well as knife steels that is still in business today.



This text tells the user not to sharpen the blade to a V-edge (the word "falsch" means wrong), but to a convex edge (the word "richtig" means right or correct)

now that is very interesting, thank you! :)
any idea what "Wolf" means?
I suppose that 6x39 is the length and wideness, but - 11"?
 
Wolf is a German name like John, Robert or Brian, and i wouldn't be surprised if the pig splitter once belonged to someone with that name.

Yea, I thought of that too, you have any idea how can I know how old it is?
And what's interesting, it has been found in Latvia.
 
Latvia was occupied by Nazi Germany in WWII, the pig splitter wasn't made recently, and the name Wolf is a bit old fashioned nowadays.
Just three things that came up in my brain, but who knows.

You're good at history.;) But thank you for your opinion, really great to hear some thoughts from others. :)
 
Wolf was probably the dealer in these. Used to be common practice on older kitchen cutlery, and sporting cutlery to stamp the dealer somewhere on the knife. Handle looks to have been replaced.
