Can anyone identify this knife?

Post by Kase's Kutlery Plus »

Anyone recognize this knife? Reads made in Germany and has the animal head. Thanks in advance!

Wow, 105 views and no one has replied because this is a tough one. I collect older German knives, and have amassed a thousand or so over the course of my life yet have not seen this logo before. I will look through some of my knife books and will post back if i find it.

It looks like one of the early German made Okapis before they moved production to South Africa.

Found a photo of a newer one online. Same pattern. I'm guessing it had plastic handles over the metal originally.
