Two birds on Tang- who made this knife?

Post by DMLEATH »

I have another knife that I can’t find a name but the tang has 2 birds on it. Could anyone help me with a maker on this one? Thanks for your input!

Kissing Crane perhaps?

Look up "Kissing Crane" here on the forum. Might be what you have.

Robert Klaas, Soligen, Germany "Kissing Crane".. Not sure but that appears to be a "caponizing" blade for castrating chickens. (The little hook.) Odd style knife to have a veterinary tool included ?? Maybe it's for something else and just similar. ?? J.O.

I am frequentIy wrong, just ask the wife. But I think that is the broken scissors, not a castrating hook. I think see what appears to be the stub of a spring.

I first thought of the caponizing blade but scissors probably makes more sense. ::tu::

I think it is broken after I looked at it closer. Thanks to all!
