Any ideas?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

All right then, maybe someone can recommend a web forum where
they
specialize in such obscure questions?



No, can't help. I _know_ I have seen that makers stamp before (the
S-
shaped diving [whale]), I believe on a high quality kitchen knife,
but I
can't name the manufacturer. I had a bit of a look around German
online
tool sellers to see if I could find it, but it didn't show up.

Bahco uses a fish stamp, but 1. it's a different shape and 2.
they're
Swedish as far as I can recall.

-P.

Just googled Germany+Tools+Whale and came up with a Sheffield forum
discussing knives. Mention made of a knife marked "Germany" with a
whale logo. Perhaps it might be Richartz Bros of Solingen.

Link to forum below. Maybe they can help : )
