My latest eban purchase.........Looks good to
me except after I recieved it I found the diamond
was fake...........
Praise and/or critisizm please............

That is correct, you got a very nice Hartkopf double marked HJ, but the diamond is a replacement and not an original.

If the price was not too high, you might consider to keep it anyway.

Best greetings,

Herman

Nice HJ, Hopefully oneday I'll score a Hartkopf as it's one of my favorite Maker Marks

Yes......I would like particularly to have an early

hartkopf.......I have had the diamond out of this

knife....appears to be a youth pin that someone put

in as a replacement....back marked with rzm and m5/6

Not sure...pin may be replica.........Dave
