Henry Kaufmann & Sons MI Germany (gotta be Solingen) Drop forged then hand forged 9" carbon steel slicer with post and disc riveted hardwood handle scales (walnut?). 

This knife has the unusual combination of the older style post and disc rivets with the post war curved transition below the heel of the bolster leading me to think this is early post war production.

Blade had been sharpened in a bit and has been thinned behind the edge for smoother cutting and easer sharpening. Handle is secure. Freshly sharpened. 

9 3/8" from tip to end of bolster
14" overall
