Does anyone recognize the tang stamp (partial) on this knife? The knife appears to have brass bolsters and mother of pearl handles. It measures approx. 2 1/2" long, closed. Approx. 5" long, both blades open and approx. 1/4" wide. The second line appears to say CUTLERY.

Hi. I have this question posted on another thread (European and other foreign manufactured knives). Someone stated/suggested that it says THE EAGLE CUTLERY. I can't be sure.

The knife looks German to me. I don't know where Eagle Cutlery was but if Dimitri said Eagle, you can probably take that to the bank, he is rarely wrong on things like that!

I stand humbled before the bank of knowledge that is this forum.
THE EAGLE CUTLERY sounds good to me.
Thanks to ALL!

"Eagle Cutlery" is not the name of a manufacturer. It is a name chosen by an importer who ordered knives from one of the knife manufacturers in Solingen, Germany. This Tuxedo pattern knife is likely at least 100 years old. There were a great many large & small knife manufacturing factories in Solingen 100 years ago so it is impossible to know which manufacturer made it.

Thank you to all. I didn't think it was made in the U.S., I just wanted to know what the tang stamp said.
