Hi men,

is this an original item?

For me it looks good, but I never saw this MM on a gravity knife.

Nice looking knife and nothing wrong with that maker or maker mark, they produced alot of these.
One grip plate looks like it has been cleaned up a bit, which is a shame.

Looks good. This maker is notorious for having the thumb release spring breaking, so be careful.

what do you think about that one:

If the rivets are copper or brass ,its a repro,nats

From what I see, It's one of the current repros with very poor detail.

Thanks for your comments and links.

For me it looked a bit strange, too.

maybe it's a repro but...i'd like to see in my hands.
here are mine, the last right is the well known repro (after all, very well done)

Did anyone know take-down knives with "Rostfrei" (stainless) on the blade?

I ever had thought that all "Rostfrei"-blades are post war..

Are there any other makers of the "non take down" gravity knife than these 4 makers? Weyersberg...SMF....F.&A. Helbig...Malsch & Ambron Thanks DAVE H

@medes,
this is, what I was told by experts on FJ knives, a period, extremely rare variant. Do own it now for about 35, 36 years.

MM.

Superb piece their Wotan!

Yes, a rare variation for sure.
wotan, who's the maker?

Thank you for your kind words.
@Serge: Please see the second pic with the mm "GEBR.WEYERSBERG/SOLINGEN" and the "ROSTFREI" located square blade.
Regards.

@wotan

Oh! i never had boght an FJ-knife with "Rostfrei" but now Im know about this scarce variant.

But Your blade is very different to the one at the beginning of the thread!
