Researchers like Saris for example? Oh yes, Saris is indeed clueless isn't he... There is no evidence whatsoever that these HJ and SS engraved knives are period. R. Weinand has tried (and failed) on many occasions to prove that they are from the period. The style of knife yes, of course, but notr those engravings on the handle. The simple act of having one in hand today does not mean that they are from the period.
