Re: Mystery Knife Game
Clue recap.
1. Mark is the last name of company founder
2. American company lasted 62 years
3. Became a kitchen products company.
4. A different company in Germany with the same name was a large maker of knives and daggers for the 3rd Reich in WWII
New and last clues:
Some smaller and "Gent's" knives may have been made by Empire. Probably the company's best known knife is a bone-handled, two-blade, bare-head Jack. J.O'.

Re: Mystery Knife Game
Okay, the reveal: Ernest Voos was a German immigrant making knives in New Haven, CT.,1879-1919. The firm became VOOS, USA and New England Specialty Hardware Co. from 1919-1981, manufacturing, among other things, a line of kitchen products and knives like "Gent's" knives and their very nice, two-blade, bone-handled, bare-head jack below. The other Voos company,(Emil Voos, Solingen, Germany), made knives for the Hitler Youth and some famous, third Reich daggers. Not sure if the two Voos'es were related?? Someone post another mystery knife. J.O'.

I don't recognize that bone or jigging pattern, but it's totally awesome. A swell end hawk jack. The shield is a nice touch too
