The only difference I can see is mine dose not have "Korium, Forged Solingen Steel, Made in Germany" marked on blade.

Mine has "ROBERT KLAAS SOLINGEN GERMANY" marked on blade With kissing-crane logo.

I've got the same sort of knife although mine is slightly different.

There used to be a famous ad showing these knives stabbed through a penny to show how tough they are.

KORIUM
FORGED SOLINGEN STEEL
MADE IN GERMANY

As for what it's worth, about $20-$40. I pick them up every now and them off ebay for about $20-$25 each.

Robert Klaas is a Knife house residing in the famous "knife city of germany" SOLINGEN GERMANY. They have been around since the early 1800's and where made famous for producing (along with others) SS knives, German bayonets and Hitler youth knives.

Thank you all for the INFO on this blade. I have had this blade for years and allways wondered about it.

I like to pick up a sheath for my "S" guard blade.

Anyone have a link to a repeatable seller of "S" guard blade sheath.

If you are looking for a sheath for that german blade you will have to either get one made or keep an eye on ebay for an original sheath to come up.
