1937 German Gebr. Grah Damascus Knife with inscription and burl wood grip...I think this is a Guild Knife made for a specific event in 1937...A very interesing and high quality edged weapon.

I have seen an identical one but with a postwar attached eagle on the grip to encrease it�s worth Roll Eyes.
They for sure are from the period and although simple letter openers (the firm Grah, Solingen, brandname GRASOLI) was well know for their letter openers.
I also appreciate the quality. Thank you for showing (I personally have seen these pics already somewhere else).

Ed,

Great letter-opener, a classic! Thanks for letting us take a look.
