Paul, did a goggle search . They are a tool company that specialized in cutting tools, etc. Located in Cleveland ,Ohio . a few knives popped up on the search also.
Your knife does look to be older, maybe 1920 s period ?

Here's a bit more information courtesy of Goins' Encyclopedia. I would love to own that jumbo sleeveboard whittler at the bottom! :D

Found this but if info

It was made by Empire for a short lived Hardware firm in Cleveland, Ohio, called McINTOSH HEATHER. They apparently operated between 1903 and 1911.

Awesome find, Paul, of a rare (in my opinion) tang stamp/maker. 😎👍👍
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

How is it made by EMPIRE if it's stamped Germany ? Am I missing something here?
By the way, it's a beauty, kind looks like a Catt. J.O'.

A stunning example of a beautiful knife! That is the first one that I have seen as well.
