Here is an interesting twin by Knecht RZM M7/11:
Knifes are almost indentical except for the non magnetic hilts: the company must have been experimenting with different steel replacements. "Het leven is een strijd!"  |

Thanks Ian!
Who else has a HJ by Knecht & co? There are many variations... Best greetings, Herman "Het leven is een strijd!" |

Herman,
I have an early thin blade version by Knecht. Will post a photo when I can access my photo server again. Nice looking transitionals you have there. -serge- |

Herman,
IMO Knecht is a fine maker. Here's a quality carving set by them. Note the sharpener is by F.Dick. Hope you like it. -serge-  +- |

Hello Serge,
That is a wonderful early Knecht HJ you have there, top condition all the way! Congratulations! Your carving set is very interesting, do you have any idea when it was made? Thanks a lot for showing! Best greetings, Herman "Het leven is een strijd!" |

Thanks Herman.
It's getting hard to find decent early HJ's at I price I'm comfortable paying anymore. The carving set, I'm guessing here, is around 1936 to 1939 period. Mainly by the style and construction of the box, history of Knecht co, and markings. Knecht, as you know, also made SA's. The early examples are of excellent quality and fit. Regards, -serge-  |

Hello Serge,
Another nice Knecht & co piece you show here: the SA. Are you focussing on this maker in your collection? That is great if the carving set is from the 1930ties. Do you ever use them to serv "wild" (hunted) meat? The stag grips are impressive, the blade has an etching so it seems. Where did you find this set? Would be interesting to see more of it. Best greetings, Herman "Het leven is een strijd!" |

Hi Herman,
Yes, I like this small firm. They did not produce a lot. 1. some cutlery. (example shown) 2. HJ knives. 3.Early SA and a 1939 transitional SA. 4. NSKK I am not aware what, if anything, they produced post war. Will need to retake the photos on the blade etch will post later. It was an e-ban find. Regards, -serge- |

Great pieces. Knecht made bayonets too, at least one of them
 I've never seen one of their bayonets before, either FW type or plain KS98. |

That's great Billy. First one I've seen also. Didn't know they made them. That's got to be rare.
Thanks for showing. -serge- |

Serge,
Happy to help out. This one hasn't seen much light of day as of late, I was happy to have a reason to break it out |

Indeed a very nice and rare piece, your firemens bayonet by Knecht & Co, Billy! thanks for posting it!
Best greetings, Herman "Het leven is een strijd!" |

Hi Herman
Heres another little Knecht. Serge. Have got an early Knecht just like your one even down to the scabbard with pointy end and brown leather. Regards Ross www.rossheywood.co.nz  |
