German RAD dagger
To start with, this German RAD (Reich Labor Service) Dagger, model 1937, intended for all supervisory staff with officer rank from Feldmeister upwards.
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Solingen's industrialists reasoned that if they could persuade the party that wearing swords and daggers would raise the status of its members, they would create a huge market for themselves.
As a result, in April 1933, a delegation of industrialists from Solingen travelled to Berlin to try to win the new leader Adolph Hitler over to their ideas. As a result, he received a paper cutter as a gift, which he accepted and gave his approval to the project.
