"Original Buffalo Skinner"

There were lots of these made, some with Stag handles, some stacked Micarta, some stacked leather

Very popular from the 1960's through to the 1980's (although some could be older)

 5.25" blade and pretty much all the same shape and all etched as "Original" Buffalo Skinner

I have no idea how many Solingen Manufacturers got on the Buffalo Wagon but some that come to mind are Widdec, Boker, Linder, W. Willms, Schlieper, and Edge

There were also a lot that were simply branded "Solingen, Germany" with no manufacturer named

There were even some versions aimed at the Australian market etched as "Original Roo Skinner"  that unfortunately had a Stag's head embossed in the sheath. (You'd think that someone in Solingen could tell the difference between a Deer and a Kangaroo?)

Image below is a nice example made by Schneidteufel of Solingen, ("Schneidteufel" translates as "Cutting Devil")

Hello all you Solingen knife fans! I just bought some antique Solingen kitchen knives. Anyone have an idea how old these knives might be?? Bone handles, blades with the J.A.Henckel stamp and the word Noxida underneath the dancing twins.
