We now have Solingen Foche knives. However, no one can say for sure what kind of knife it is. I am writing from Ukraine, so translation errors are possible

Typical german "Fahrtenmesser", produced after 1945. (Fake!)

The former "HJ-Fahrtenmesser" was still in our younger years av. in local shops, sometimes with the original HJ emblem, but mostly
produced after 1945, with an altered emblem.
German price back then about 12,- to 15,- Deutsche Mark, depending on the quality.

Typical "tool" for german boys, still in the 1960s.

P.S. "etched", not "engraved", sorry, you know the difference.
