Klaas Trademark

[DR DOLCH]

I am trying to find out when the Klaas kissing crane logo was first used.Did they use it in WW!? Also I have a knife that read RCB KLAAS what does RCB stand for?

The kissing cranes TM was used by Klaas for a long time. Don't know when they started.

RBC Klaas probably stands for Robert Crane Brand Klaas... they used the Crane Brand with kissing cranes logo at some point, probably post war.

Thanks John,The reason I ask is because. I recently bought a Klaas pocket knife off of e stand with the crane logo looks WWI.That being said I have a reference book thar says the crane was started in 1935.I guess it could be a historicly important piece or perhaps made after 1935.The Klaas knife may still be listed on e-stand

There are some wonderful quality post war DJ knives with heavy hilts that I've seen with the Klaas logo on the blades. These knives are equip with HJ diamonds in the grips and are manufactured very good.
