Henckels Knives

Invoice, great looking Barlow with nice burnt stag handles.

danno50, very nice Senator model with some fine old time stag. The Germans could certainly rival the English with beautiful stag on some of their old knives.

Here is a 1950s era fixed blade Henckels model with less common rams horn handles.

As some in the forum know, in the last year or so I've found myself in a "gaucho knife" rabbithole, and only recently did I find out that Henckels made some early examples -- or at least their blades. Here are a few interesting ones I've found online, all from Brazil (the first one -- marked "R. Laydner, Porto Alegre" and featuring an Eberle handle and sheath chape -- taken from this Vikingsword.com post; the other two taken from Relíquias Do Sul):

Occasionally one can also find examples with repurposed chef knife blades, such as this one, or the one I showed some time ago in this post, which I put together for a friend, though the brand's name is not visible anymore.

Dear gentlemen,
I recently got this german hunting knife (Nicker) and now I'm looging for some more information.
The 8cm blade is from carbon steel, the logo, the one used between 1900 and 1969.
I already got an estimation from Mr.Ritter (Hubertus) of the time span from 1920-1930.
Any further information, old catalogues or similar would be great!
