here I have a Walter Kaiser, Solingen Toledo type knife. The rear tang of the main blade says Rostfrei over Made in Germany. Please check out pics and let me know if you have any info.
Thanks,

Nothing in Goins or Levine 4th. Goins lists a Kaiser but with a different 1st name.
It is an interesting knife. Looks to be advertising for pesticides on the handle and the 'cross' looks like a Bayer ad.

Ray, that is definitely the Bayer logo. Using an online language translator from German to English, "pflanzenschutz pesticides pesticidas" translates to "pflanzenschutz pesticides pesticidas"
Using a different online translator it translates to "plant protection pesticides pesticidas" which makes sense because Bayer makes pesticides. You can see some of their products here

Sorry I can't help you with the maker of the knife but I did find this Walter Kayser knife that's similar to yours that sold on eBay last July for $12.62 -

pesticidas = pesticides in Spanish.
pflanzenschutz = plant protection as stated above. Refers to protecting growing plants.

Could it be Toledo, Spain steel made in Solingen, Germany?

I'm thinking it was marketing for the S American trade.
Germany and Argentina had a lot of interactions between the countries.
