CARL SCHLIEPER STAG LARGE FOLDING HUNTER

[+GR8DAY+]

I AQUIRED A CARL SCHLIEPER KNIVE. THE TANG STAMP SAYS "CARL SCHLIPER SOLINGEN". IT HAS 2 POLISHED HIGH CARBON STEEL BLADES CLIP POINT & STRIGHT BACK, THE CLIP BLADE HAS "CARL SCHLIEPER SOLINGEN" ETCHED IN RELIEF ON THE LEFT SIDE AND 2 IMAGES OF A GERMAN FAN, WHAT LITTLE I COULD FIND ON THIS KNIFE INDICATES IT WAS MADE IN GERMANY AND IMPORTED TO AUSTRALIA ONLY. IS THIS INFO CORRECT? I WILL APPRECIATE ANY OTHER INFO AND HOPEFULLY WHEN IT WAS MADE.

It’s a Fan Brand, one of the trademarks used by Schlieper. I have read that Fan Brand was for the South American and Asian markets. I’ve also read that Fan Brand was sold in the US up to the 1930’s, however the Fan knives I’ve seen and those that I own appear to be too new for me to believe that. The straight line tang stamp was used through the mid 1960’s. Your knife is so very nice that I’d believe that it’s probably closer to the 60’s than the 30’s. It is a real beauty.
There are others on this forum that are more knowledgeable of Schlieper and could contribute more information or correct anything erroneous comments I have made.
Great knife
