Hitler Youth Knife & Leader’s Dagger

Hitler Youth Knife & Leader’s Dagger – Types, Periods, ID Tips

The HJ knife (Model 1933) was the first officially introduced edged weapon of a NS organization and saw use from 1933; early blades carry the motto “Blut und Ehre” (Blood and Honor). From late 1936/1937 a Leader’s dagger with hanger was introduced for authorized leaders (rare). Collectors focus on early/mid/late production, maker/RZM codes, and material changes.
