Hi Gaspare,

I am getting better with the smartphone camera and took the pictures of the etch on the 17" "C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen" dagger, outside on a cloudy day.

In Germany they take their Ham very seriously. Mr. Kashammer in Germany, has a "Ham carving vise".

I would guess the "C SCHMACHTENBERG, OHLIGS SOLINGEN" ham knife probably has a 4" handle with a blade about 5 1/2 inches. The seller did not list a size.
