I have a Kissing Crane stamped Robt. Klaas Solingen Germany. I believe I bought the knife in Germany in 1988. Here are some pic's. Can anyone give me information on this knife?
Thanks

Please be patient. We've got a guy here who knows way more than the rest of us put together about Kissing Crane knives. I'm sure he'll show up soon.
By the way, while we're waiting,
to AAPK.

Welcome Alfred
I did not think that Klaas starting using the super steel markings until the late 1990s. I have e-mailed them to varify the dating.

Thanks for the info basser5, after thinking about it I believe I bought a single blade, wood handle J. Moede in '88. I was back in Germany in '97 and I bought the KC. Well I'm 66 and expected to forget things, at least that's what my wife says.
I posted some pics of the J. Moede in the general knife questions, at least that is where I think I did it. If you know anything about this maker it would also be helpful.

Alfred i don't see the other thread.
Jürgen Moede had a small company in Solingen from 1963 to somewhere in the 90s.

It's listed as J. Moede knives in General knife Q&A. My bad, it is knife related Q&A.
