Hello Whyatt, and welcome to Bladeforums!

I'll ask the moderators to move this topic to the Traditional knife forum area where you'll undoubtedly get some awesome photos posted. Here are a couple of mine to start off. I'm a fan of most vintage German cutlery, but I particularly collect Bruckmann knives since they are affordable and available.

Robert Klaas

These are AG Russel knives, made for him in Germany by Boker. Not vintage, but discontinued.

This is one of my favorite handle materials, cracked ice celluloid, on a pair of Bruckmann knives.

And one of my favorites to look at:

These are not vintage but they are all made in Germany. I have plenty more Böker knifes but they are the Plus line so are made in Tawain/China. Got all of these while I lived in Germany for two years. The Bökers I got from the outlet store in Solingen. The top knife is from a knife maker in the mid-evil city of Esslingen Germany.

Here is a picture of most of my German Puma knives. The top two are made in Spain and the bottom two are made in Germany.

Here's a little Puma lock back I got in 1985. I've got a few more Puma's and I think they are some of the best knives ever made.

I don't have anything really old, but here are three Solingen made knives from the '70s, very high quality.

Winchester Gunstock

A couple of Fight'n Rooster Stockmen

I think some of the turn of the century knives up until World War II were very high quality.

Thanks KJ. I would love to see those minis of yours. They seem to be pretty rare.

The knife on the right is similar to the one I posted:

 

[kootenay joe]

Here is a German sample knife from ~ 1900; 2 blade with a corkscrew on the back is a very common old German pattern.





I will take pics of my mini multi's as soon as weather permits.

Some I believe and some I know are German:

Adolph Blaich Arrow Brand

H Boker

3 J A Henckels:

Jigged bone patterns

Pressed stag. (I've heard this handle material called Black Forest stag,snakeskin stag,etc.,but the patterns to each makers versions are quite easily recognized. Therefore they are able to be reproduced,hence the pattern was made, and a process was involved to imprint this pattern. )
