I think you are right Josh.
I only own two with this box and the other is a little darker and the
plastic cover is not yellowed.

Tim ,I always enjoy someone getting to add to their passion.You have an amazing collection. I have a couple of the stag Anglo Saxon whittlers.The one I like most has the ringed bolsters,like the one you posted.I think you dated these in a thread somewhere.

What's even nicer is when a friend gives you a nice one that you don't have ,as David Anthony did to me.Thanks again David,till.....

To my knowledge or lack of it, there is no link for dating Klaas knives.
The only ones that can be dated to the year are club knives, special runs and knives
made between 1972 and 1986 (Roman numeral stamp). Others can be guestimated
by arch stamp, straight stamp, KC prefix and the size of the birds on the stamp.
Older ones will include stamps from Prussia, Solingen, and Ohligs.

Hey guys,

I've just bought a knife off eBay that looks like a similar pattern to s-k's and basser5's postings.
The small blade is only stamped "SOLINGEN", and there's no stamping on the main blade.
It looks and feels like an older knife.
Any ideas if it was a Klass knife, or maybe the main blade has been replaced?
It seems original to me, but I'm no expert.
Thoughts and comments appreciated.

Thanks!

Keith... that is a fairly common pattern in Germany and made by a lot
of different makers. It's called a allemand pattern or vinyardmans knife.

All of my Klaas knives are stamped as such. I think it will be tough to
narrow down the maker. Sorry i can't help more.
