HJ Knife

[Larry Lipps]

Like many collectors, I never really had an interest in owning a Hitler Youth Knife until that famous scene in Saving Priviate Ryan. At this years MAX an HJ knife came my way that I just couldn't turn down. Since it's actually a fairly rare maker for an HJ knife, I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Very, very nice indeed Larry.

I too have been a little slow when it comes to HJ knifes . I have yet to place one in my collection but when I do, boy do I hope it will be as nice as yours. Thanks for posting it.

Dare I ask the obvious?

Cheers,
David.

David, for a minimal, wallet scalding, $450, you too can put a $100 HJ knife in your collection. Sometimes I wish they hadn't saved Priviate Ryan.

Hello Larry


Thanks for sharing! I have two HJ knives as well as many other HJ items and am always looking for more to add to the collection (unlike many collectors I really like the HJ knives) . Your knife is indeed a great piece and congrats on the recent purchase.
