You're gonna get tired of me...
I have yet another tang stamp I cannot identify. This time, it's an older pearl knife, two blades and a corkscrew, about 3-5/8" long. I don't see any marking but what appears to be a wagon wheel with three arrows/lightning bolts protruding from the top. I looked in Goins and Carters, and didn't see it in either one. Anyone have any ideas? I see nothing else on either blade (yes, tried the pencil trick).

Looks European, possibly from Austria or Czechoslovakia.

Re: You're gonna get tired of me...
I agree on the probable European origin. Wish I could nail it down further.
I'm thinking there might have been another marking; the tangs are pitted some, and if there was a weak stamp, it could be entirely gone by now. It's easy for me to look hard at the surface and imagine that I'm seeing a pattern in the pitting that was once a stamp--but it never resolves into anything legible...

I have a couple similar knives to that...I think one was of French manufacture.
