Henckels Knives

[herder]

Campbellclanman, Fantastic group of old Henckels folders!!!
All fine examples, but I am partial to the horseman model on top. That variation is not common and especially with the "DEUTSCHES ARMEEMESSER" stamp on back of the folding horse hoof pick.
That model was not an official German military issue knife, but was commonly purchased by German officers in the early to mid 1900s.
The second sportsman model with the "birds-beak" front bolster is another classic German pattern.
The sleeve board whittler is another beautiful but fairly uncommon model, and the stock knife is also a tough one to find with a punch blade.
Thanks for the pictures.

I was just looking for something, and came across this Henckels Candle-Snugger/Wick-Trimmer

I'll send it your way at some point H herder

Thanks again for the tiny Henckels Lobster you sent me a while back buddy

Beautiful knives, Duncan. Interesting camp knife with, as you said, nicely hafted stag. I would also love to see a few more pictures of the horseman's knife.
Two more nice ones, herder.

I like that candle trimmer/snuffer, Jack. That little lobster is a nice knife as well.

Jack, that's neat candle wick trimmer and the first actual example I have seen.
Nice bonus to have the original box. Thanks for the pictures.

Here is a interesting multi-tool that Henckels offered at least as early as the 1870s, and up through the mid-1900s. Only about 100 years before the Leatherman.
It features a hammer, hatchet, pliers/nippers, and a screwdriver at one handle end.

I just received my copy of the J. A. Henckels Knives book. A quick page through it makes me think the book is well worth having. I've been a Henckels collector for a very long time, and one of these days I may unleash my Imgur account and dump a zillion Henckels knife photos here...

dsutton24, Thanks for the nice comments and I would love to see part or all of your collection posted!!!
The book represents a mere sampling of the enormous amount of knives that Henckels offered over time.
As you certainly know, there could be a book published alone on just the wide selection of Boker-made knives for Henckels.

Old Engineer, wonderful stag on that Boker-made Barlow.
You have quite the knack for finding some of the best looking stag handled knives, both new and old.

Receive my copy of the Henckels book yesterday! Haven't had a chance to dig into it yet, but it looks like it will be a great reference!

 

[danno50]

Interesting multi-tool, herder. It looks unused.
Very nice barlow with great stag, Old Engineer.
Thank you for the additional pictures, Duncan. I really like that lighter coloured smooth stag. And a very nice group of stag Henckels following.

 

[herder]

Campbellclanman, Thanks for the extra pictures of these very fine old knives.

Jack, You still seem to have some interesting travels, just not as far lately.

glennbad, Thanks for the nice comments my road trip friend.

danno50, Thanks and yes, it managed to stay hidden from use fortunately for me.

Here is a classic old German lock-back pattern from Henckels, which was popular from other German cutlery companies as well.

The only Henckels I have at the moment, found at a knife show in 2019...

That is one of those knives that make me come back to see again my friend .
