Dug this one up locally today. Gave it a quick clean up and off to the hones later. Looks to extra hollow ground.
It was sold by Alfred J Krank, St. Paul, Min. and is possibly their North Star model judging by the stamping on the show side. On the other side it is stamped Made In Germany for Alfred J Krank which was commonly done. The interesting part is when you open the coffin up there is a sticker saying "Ground by Alfred J Krank". Did they import blanks from Germany and grind the blades in Minnie?
In any event I am pleased with it and hope it hones up well.
