Herman,


Just to put the record straight: i have no doubts about Wotans knife & your 5 hj knifes as they are genuine enough,it is only the Ink stamps i am questioning here. Frederick Stephens PMed me over on WAF concerning these Ink stamps stating that he does not believe them to be genuine & said these stamps should be stamped deep into the blade rather than a poor quality Ink stamp.

At that point in time i did believe that these Ink stamps were genuine then with some exchanged emails from Fred about the authenticity made me question these stamps & that is why i post here now.

The M7/12 1940 stamped hj knife has an interesting twist being dual marked with the Wusthof trademark stamped on the blade, so either WMW ran out of blades & bought some from Wusthof factory or vice versa ?, i will need find the pix & resize some of them so i can show them here so give me a little time.
