Hitler Youth Knife [Late-period]

HJ utility knife of the Hitler Youth in late production (approx. 1940–1942). Unmarked example in typical late-war configuration. The knife shows age and usage-related wear. The leather carrying strap is partially torn.

Grip: Riveted grip plates made of deep black Bakelite with typical herringbone pattern. In the center of the grip plate is the HJ diamond emblem of the Hitler Youth. The front grip plate is cracked in the upper section. The single-sided curved crossguard (quillon) corresponds to the typical configuration of later HJ knives.

Blade: Single-edged steel blade, originally riveted into the grip. Unmarked example, as commonly encountered on later production pieces. The blade shows age and usage-related wear.

Scabbard: Iron scabbard in typical configuration. The carrying device consists of a leather strap, which is torn approximately halfway.

Historical Background: Late Production HJ Utility Knife

The HJ utility knife was introduced as the standardized sidearm of the Hitler Youth (HJ) and formed part of the typical equipment of male members. Later production examples from around 1940–1942 often show simplified production characteristics and unmarked blades.

In contrast to early examples carrying the motto “Blut und Ehre!”, later knives were frequently produced without motto etching. Characteristic features remained the black Bakelite grip plates with HJ emblem, the single-edged blade and the typical leather carrying system.

Unmarked late-production examples represent typical contemporary variants of the Hitler Youth utility knife and are collected today as historical pieces of German youth organization edged weapons.
