Very nice!
I have one that is 4 1/4 closed. Henckels made some fine knives pre-WWI.

Those are beautiful examples and the swing guard is uncommon with the spear point blade, thanks for the pictures.ObsidianEdge wrote:Very nice!

Both the Germans and English seemed to favor pen blade lock release mechanisms for both manual and spring fired folders, which was a clever idea.
Re: Henckels folding guard lockback
i have the same henckels swing guard, the quality back then was second to none imo.
Re: Henckels folding guard lockback
Very nice examples. The two top models each had over a sixty year run starting in the late 1800s and continuing on well past WWII.doormann wrote:i have the same henckels swing guard, the quality back then was second to none imo.

Re: Henckels folding guard lockback
Oh my goodness! You guys really own some dream-knives! Too bad that most of the vintage stuff is worn or was lost in one of the two wars here in Europe....

Re: Henckels folding guard lockback
A few days after admiring your fantastic Henckels knives here I ran across this one. Unfortunately someone had messed with the tip of the blade so I had to reshape it.
I am not particular satisfied with it but I suppose they are hard to come to by here in Germany and I have to be conted with what I´ve got.

Re: Henckels folding guard lockback
I looked through five full or partial catalogs and did not see it. Mason will know.
As I recall from years ago, you have a great collection of minty Henckels.
