Kissing Crane Knives

Post by nmikash »

Does anyone have any kissing crane knives? I am thinking that the newer ones look like they may be made by Boker as the patterns are very similar. If anyone has any info I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Nick

I'm not sure what's going on with Kissing Crane, but the newest ones are being made in CHINA(go figure?!?!). If it is Boker, they are probably going to turn out like the Magnum series.

United owned Kissing Crane and has folded. They must have sold the brand as the new ones are all China made. The German made models were fine knives.

If you want inexpensive Boker made knives go with Henckels. They were also owned by United, but thus far no chinese models have shown up to complicate things.
