'German Paratrooper knife'

I believe in a real one the pieces that make up the grip are brass but the blade is steel. I also have a copy like yours, but without all the symbols and writing.

There were never any "real" German military knives that remotely resembled this "butterfly" design. They are ALL fake. The only real Paratrooper knife is the one pictured above. German soldiers also carried "Puma" clasp knives and their issued field knives, but never anything like the one from the original post.
