UBB.threads Forums Thread Like Summary - Was the "DJ" knife really a late "HJ" knife?

An item in Tom Wittmann's stock - HYK #34889 - attracted my attention although I'm not an HJ/DJ collector.

The knife - see below - is what most seem to refer to as a DJ knife. It is the one without the diamond on the scabbard. I've also seen it sold at a premium as a BDM knife.

Yes, Gary good show,
I believe we both bought some great items there..!!!!!
I have two of these catalogs (20+ years) and also have a few of these super rare knives in almost mint condition and have seen 4 over the last years.
I sent some pictures of the catalog and my knives to another collector not long ago and was just confused on the timing of your post..
As you know I'm very private about my collection and good to see you also have this catalog..
Yes trademark is in Carter book BUT many collectors think this is a postwar mark. Of course it is NOT..

It is always easy to make a positive opinion when it is in a catalog (correct). I posted a picture from the catalog of the (small klass bowie) here or on another forum over 10+years ago now...
DAVE, The old attitude that (they took artistic privilege's in catalogs rarely is the case. Unless it is original art.

There is No proof the small knife in that catalogue is a so called DJ knife, most likely a small utility purpose knife ?

The hj knife was made for the hj & DJ boys to use , it even tells you this on origional hj knife paper packets !

Some guys want to believe they are origional DJ knifes so they do not loose there money or make a profit.

JMO.
