Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

First I would like to thank everyone for the welcome posts.  Second, I am very new to all this so please bear with me, I try to find answers on my own, but sometimes I just cannot seem to locate information.

I inherited a very large knife collection from my father and I am trying to sort and catalog it.  I am doing pretty well with the Case knives, that info is obviously easy to find, but others well....not so easy.  

I am not sure how to tell if it is a Henckel or a Boker but..

This knife has the two armed joined hands logo on cover, 4 blades, red bone handle is stamped JA Henckels one tang, all well and good, can find similar knives all day..but, this one also has HK - 1b hand forged on another tang and then on blade is logo and Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Soligen, Germany, hand honed.  I cannot find anything like it..will try to add pictures.  Thank you for any info you can provide.  

Or if someone could point me to a good research site, that would be wonderful too.  I have Case College bookmarked and a few others but more info is always good.

This is definitely a J.A. Henckels knife. Likely .. a 4-blade congress .. based on given description.

A bit of company history HERE ..&.. their home pg HERE.

AAPK's "Henckels Questions" pg HERE.

Their older pocket knives are great .. imo. Nowadays ..I believe.. they're more known for their kitchen cutlery.

You've a nice knife there !!

Enjoy

thanks Dale.  So you would say that would be a keeper?  Or sell it?  Also I have several...well more than several handmade knives...the ones my father made, I will of course keep, I doubt they would be of value to anyone but me, but there are others..that have no sentimental value to me..but I have no idea how to judge them, any thoughts?  Hints? Lol, I know I am such a newbie but I really appreciate the time you take to answer me.

It's definitely a keeper, Di.

Re: pricing .. I'd suggest cruising ebay & see what they're selling for.

Di,

I am sorry for your loss.  It would be our pleasure to help in getting his collection in an order you can understand.  We have some info here that may help with other brands also as you move through the process.

 date and identify your knife
