Thank you Charlie, Roger and Lee!

Nice post WWII Hubertus model. Here is a cat cut from the early 1950s.
I don't know if Hubertus still offers this model, but they did at least through the 1970s.

Welcome back Mason

Thanks for posting the catalog cut, that sounds about right this one looks like it was made in the 1960's

Interesting depiction on the catalog cut and very accurate, a man dispatching a wild boar after he shot it, exactly the type of thing this knife was designed for.

Thanks, M.B., it's good to be back.

Here is a monster of an extended blade Boker Bowie model from the late 1800s, which is featured in the new Boker book. You can see the comparison size next to a regular sized German variation. This is the largest of this type of knife that I have ever seen.

Congratulations, Dimitri.
What a beautiful blade. What a beautiful knife.

Wow Neal - that folding Boker Bowie almost looks like a short sword ... Also good info posted above in terms of Dimitri’s knife... I also noticed no folding Bowies in Mark Zalesky and Bill Worthen’s new Bowie book released about a year ago... I do think that book is a great addition to the Bowie literature...

As an aside I have a few other Bowie books including Flayderman’s book which I quite like - as you know those books are key references if you want to learn about them and collect a few... However one I am missing which you note is the Adams, Voyle and Moss book as the price is abit out of control in my opinion ... I’ll keep on looking until one possibly appears within reason. Anyway - I’ve heard that many of the knives in the Adams et al book are also in a number of the others including Flaydermans - just curious what you think makes it the best as you noted?? Is it the background info, Bowies included with photos etc??

Congratulations, Dimitri.
What a beautiful blade. What a beautiful knife.

Thank you very much Joe!

I am very pleased with it, especially since it came with the original leather sheath

Four years later I found this one.

Very nice Dimitri, great find

That's certainly the largest one I have seen! Nice find

Very nice!

Interesting, my sheath has the green tip and throat band and the later ones were all green like yours!

Your knife is quite the looker.
A lot of the larger German knives made after 1960's come with the solid green sheaths. I have no idea why that is.

Here is another German variation from the late 1800s which is unmarked. The blade is manually opened by pushing the button in the handle and closed by pushing the recessed back lock.

There might be a mark just past the false edge on the top like this

Nice!
