Hunting Knives: reliability and durability in the wild

Bavarian dress knife or Bavarian picnic knife are the common English terms for the special type of fixed blade knife called Trachtenmesser in Germany. These knives are found in the right side pocket of a traditional Bavarian leather pant and only part of the handle is visible as you pass that pocket.

Bavarian dress knives are characterized by the particular shape of the blade and in most cases by a decorated ring. This ferrule constitutes the passage between the blade and the handle of the deer horn or other hunting trophies that is fixed with the tang. A dark brown leather sheath is slid over the blade for protection purposes.
