Could be wrong but I do believe I have seen a knife marked Whale Brand Germany. The other stumps. Could use pics.

The whale trademark belonged to Richartz of Solingen.

Here is a longshot for ya.
Made by Richartz (which would explain the Whale) for American Import company which distributed Arrow Brand knives. The only problem is that I have not seen an Arrow Brand tang stamp.
Like I said, just a longshot.
There was also a company called Mueller & Schmidt that used arrows in their tang stamp.
Somebody should publish a book with nothing but tang stamp ID's.
