Henckels info?

[foldinghunter]

I just won this, only one pic and not much info. I'm thinking it'll turn out to be a copperhead, but even at that I feel I did OK. Any thoughts on the age of ones with the black shield and red & white box? Thanks.

I'm not sure on the exact age but it's definitely not an "antique" as it's a modern Henckels.

Yeah, it's funny how they bounce around the terms like vintage, antique or mint !!

2000-2004 Stainless HK04 in FOI (Fossil Ivory Bone) or MHG (Mohagany Bone) looks to me.

Made by Boker and looks like you got a good deal.

I appreciate the info.

Got the knife today, it is a copperhead like I suspected. I view a copperhead as a small version of a folding hunter, so all is good! Box says "HK-0003 FLIV". Fossil Ivory bone? I know it's real purty!!!

Then it is the wrong box, as it should be "HK004 FLIV" or "HK004 FOI". Standard stockman is a "3", copperhead is a "4". But no problem with that.

I have the same knife and I believe it is from the early 2000's
It has the same box also and the price you paid is in line with henckels from the 2000's
It is a nice knife. I have a few Henckels and love them all.

here is one of my Henckels (whittler) I dug up that dates the same time period.
I really like this knife in every way - I am a Henckels fan for sure.

2000-2008

To help you the next time ( not that you did any bad).

I see this "Returns: No Returns Accepted"

Not saying the seller is bad but I give it a long time of thinking before I bid on a knife when I see that.

No dout you have a gr8 deal. She will always be worth what you pisd for her. Henckelels are long lasting knives.(provided you not loose her.. )

The BLACK sheild means it is Stain Less Steel in most cases on them Henckels.

Yeah I agree with justold
you got a nice knife at a decent price .
Its just a newer knife, but its still a nice one.
I would love to have it in my collection.

Looks good setting on the display shelf with the rest of my hunters. Like I said, it's just a smaller version of a folding hunter and that ain't a bad thing!
