Garage sale,$1.00. I'll have to put it in rotation for this next season.

Looks like an old Western I had. Nice find. >>>-----> Ken

I'll have to start my leather work learning by making a sheath for it.

Very nice find!

Nice find, good steal, I mean steel. I had to stop going to garage sales, I kept getting beat-up by hardcore Women shoppers.

Nice find. Some people don't know what they have, and others are lucky enough to find them. I'm a little green right now! Lance

That’s a good one! Congrats

I'm assuming those are colored leather washers and not wooden. Am I right? Never seen a handle quite like that. Like the knife a lot!

I think colors ate plastic or.

Nice design blade almost looks like a skinner.

Three washers behind the tang, isn't that a bit unusual Knifeguy

The pommel is an old standard.

Nice find, a bit different.

WOW!!!!!

Herdr made some excellent knives out of Solingen Germany. Great steel that is easy to get razor sharp. I've got a lock back "sod buster" style Herdr knife that I'll post a pic of when I get home.

Your knife looks like a winner.

FINE LOOKING BLADE! May it serve You long and well!

Ron. Not unusual at all. What I really like, and what sets this knife apart is the multi colored stacked handle. It's probably some colored lucite or similar plastic. IMHO this is easily a $50 knife. Soligen steel from this era (1950's) is some of the best cutlery steel there is. Herder has been around since the late 18th or early 19th century if I recall correctly. Lance

I don't know if we should be taking knife advice from a guy named "Knifeguy" on here. He could be any Tom, Dick, or Harry and probably doesn't know a skinning knife from a putty knife.

DISCLAIMER: This was intended to be a humerous post. No offense was intended. No offense was meant. I don't know Knifeguy. In fact, I don't know much in general. I am on a three day weekend, holiday, vacation, and I have been drinking. God bless all, and please remember our fallen soldiers.

Lowcountry; LOL! Have a good one! Lance

Great knife, excellent steel.

Pretty awesome!

Rich A. Herder knives have been around since 1727! Very old company.

1727, dang that is old as Knifeguy.

Ron....I know I just had a birthday but I ain't that old yet. Close, but not quite! Lance

Enjoy that beauty....great find!

I'm just now getting around to posting pics of my Herder Solingen, Germany knife.

The steel in his knives (at least on the two I have owned) is very easy to sharpen on a simple stone, and can be made unbelievably sharp. I'm talking shaving - FACE shaving sharp!

That's a great find

Here's my German knife, outstanding steel

THAT IS A GREAT FIND!!!!!

Nice Find! I like that handle too.

Ihave one I got with a compass Kodiak with exactly same blade but leather handle. The old gentleman I got them from was origonal owner and bought them both in Michigan on the same day.That dates the knife arround 1952. God bless and great find,Steve

great blade!

Nice knife. I have the same one. Probably had it for 45 years. It was a gift from my uncle. I carried it a lot as a kid but not for years. Enjoy it.

My Dad had this Edge Brand German made knife in his collection. He knew knives, he was a knifesmith at Oneida Limited Silversmiths for 40 years. This is my favorite knife in my possession. Solingen steel, the best.

Nice stag handle, the real deal.
