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!

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.

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'.
