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 itīs 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.
