Original German Post-War 12" Butcher Knife

This German knife features a long steel blade with a curved tip, showing age discoloration and minor pitting. The handle is composed of two wooden scales secured to the tang with three brass rivets, accompanied by a brown leather sheath. Dating to the post-WWII period, this large knife was manufactured in Germany as a professional butcher tool. Produced during the reconstruction era, it reflects the resurgence of German cutlery, focusing on durable materials and traditional designs. The blade is stamped with a German maker mark. The wooden grips are worn but securely attached. The leather sheath features reinforced stitching, a belt loop, and shows wear appropriate to its age.
