Hi M Eley,
So this is a German hunting knife afterall. I wonder if this would fall in the Jagdmesser catagory then? Looking at it would seem to make a good skinning knife. I like German hunting implemants and wanted a Hirschfanger as well but the price always kept me at arms length

What do you think of the clam that the uncomfortable stag handle was a Hessian innovation, I wonder if that could point to this knife having a Hessianl Origen......
