Good evening, gentlemen.
I present to you a small selection of Robert Klaas knives. I've already shown you some of them. I noticed four different hallmarks.
Here's a mother-of-pearl knife and a carbon steel callus knife, both marked "Rob." Klaas Ohligs Solingen. The callus knife was made for the US market, where this type of knife was popular until the 1930s. Back then, shoes weren't as comfortable as they are now, and beauty demanded sacrifice. Therefore, a small knife with a thin, razor-sharp blade was in demand. The small pen knife bears a "transitional" hallmark. A "t" was added to "Rob," but the word "Ohligs" is still present, which disappeared after 1929. By the way, it has a very cute case made of super soft and thin leather. Cases like these used to be used for glasses.
These hunters already bear the usual Rob t Klaas Solingen hallmark.
Please note the knife's mark with red scales, it differs from the others. There is no word Solingen, is this vintage China?
And finally, a completely different hallmark with two crossed ladles and the letters RK. Yes, that's also Robert Klaas. By the way, the steel knife has a French-style bottle opener. I found that unusual. And the knife itself looks French in style. Enjoy
