Hitler Jugend Fahrtenmesser / Standard Hitler's Youth knife















This is my Hitler's youth fighting knife I've recently purchased.. I'm not very satisfied with this replica, because you can see from far, that was made in China... Wasn't sharp, it's not total symetric quality of blade isn't so great either...

Blade is on one side only, it's 140 milimeters long (5,5 inches) and app. 25 milimeters wide (1 inch). Blade is made from stainless steel, handle from black plastic, the tongue and "Eagle head" both are made from stainless steel too, and the Hakenkreuz(swastika) emblem is made from unknown steel and painted with red, white and black colors. Pins are steel too. Blade has engraved "Blut und Ehre!" as seen on picture above. In English translations means Blood and Honour. Yep, Germans during World War II. were really proud on their blood, nation and country.

Knife sheet is made from iron, painted black and have leather belts for keeping the knife in from falling out. Also has a gap for belt.
