German Kissing Cranes

Post by razor1 »

I figured there has to be some of you fellas that like the German Kissing Cranes like I do ::tu:: Their getting harder to come by now that they are made in China ::disgust:: I've got quite a few in my collection and I'll get things started with this little KCS-1442 Whittler :mrgreen: She has stag scales,Rostfrei blades which is German for stainless,and a OAL closed of 31/2" ::tu:: Let's see some more ::nod::

GR8 looking Cranes you both are showing off.

I will add just one of mine.

Kissing Crane Stockman Stag 3 Blade 1980s 4"

razor1can you tell me your opinion? Do you think that J.A. Henckels are a higher quailty knife over the Crans ?

I think J.A. Henckels bet out Crans by far.

I have 2 Kissing Crane Stilleto KC48W Hard Wood 5". That I try to sell in my wifes garage sale with no luck yet.

I got this one from my late grandpa's collection. I have yet to see another one with the walnut handles with the four blades.
