Nazi Knife

[just bob]

This is in an AAPK store and I'm not picking on anyone, but haven't we seen on here before that there is actually no such thing as a Nazi pocketknife and that they are all modern reproduction? Certainly German WWII knives and the like, but no pocketknives?

These knives are more commonly referred to as "fantasy" knives rather than "reproductions."
The seller is asking $90 for that one. I paid $20 total for the two that I have.
I posted my two National Socialist "fantasy" knives here, in the Controversial Off Topic Discussion Forum.

I, for one, am sceptical that there were any WWII National Socialist Party folding knives made, except for maybe that art deco looking one that hinged to serve as a safety folder. And there are many current reproductions made of it as well. I stay away from any WWII German folders, much like Confederate D-Guard fixed blades. Too many fakes.

I do not see anything 'wrong' with the listing.
Seller states: "No information on Maker or Country of Origin. Most likely made post WWII. Main blade stamped with swastica, pen blade stamped 1943."
He also says he does not know if his asking price is reasonable so make an offer.
All quite straight forward. No attempt to deceive.

I don't see any knives on that list. . This dude has 36 posts since August, can a Mod clean this up?

WWII Nazi items, of all kinds, have to be the most faked articles ever made. There must have been dozens of makers of "Hitler Youth Daggers" since the war ended. I like to collect WWII militaria, but I stay away from anything "Nazi" for two reasons, first of all, I don't want any Nazi items because I would hate for someone to think that I would celebrate anything to do with Nazis, but the second it that most of what you come by will be fake. I do have some Imperial German artifacts, so I am not anti-German.

I come by my anti-Fascist beliefs honestly from mentors, teachers, a Father and Uncles who were the original practicing antifascists in Africa, Europe and the oceans of the world.
