hi there,
i own also an sword form these swordmaker family.
the solingen blades was trades "around the world". some month ago was also an other indian sword( an Pata sword) with the same makers name sold in an german auctionshouse.
i was looking if i could find more about these family but the informations are very poor and rare. also the sword museum in solingen was not an great help.
somewhere was written that these family comes in the past from the netherlands and seddeld in solingen. the old signature name was KNEGT, later the changed here name in the more modern name KNECHT . one of the best known swordmaker was Peter Knecht.
