Thanks Ant, another new maker for the list and no less than number M7/1 in the rzm

another new one for me today :

Early W.K.C Solingen Ges Geschutzt

[Anthony N]

Another one Soon you'll be buying one a day!
When you have more listed will you be giving us details of how many of each maker?

[evilmike]

i think as guesstimate it will give some insite into whats scarce, whats relatively common and so on. I dont know of any literature that gives production numbers, or really anything in detail about hj knives.

We can already see some trends developing, we just need more users of WAF to post their's to allow a bigger picture to be seen, its still early days but doing well with some cracking hj's being seen!

Did your hj have the small 22/23mm diamond Ant? looks like it is in the piccie.


Not all manufacturers made early/trans/late knives, some may have only made early then stopped. Others only late production and so on, this is also something that could over time be seen through this database

Also iam going to start taking photos of the markers marks to link in with the list as further reference.

[Anthony N]

All sounds great, would love to know which are the rarer ones, like the list for SA's.
You're getting rather expert at this, never even knew there were different size HJ diamonds. Just measured it & as always you're spot on
Keep up the good work.
Ant.
