Re: EIG Bowie Knife

Your knife is definitely German made. EIG is not the most recognizable German maker but they did produce some good quality cutlery. This "Bowie" knife has been marketed by other German companies, i.e. Carl Schlieper (Eye Brand), Anton Wingen (Othello) and several others. "Genuine Bowi...

It is also made with the addition of a corkscrew. With no company maker’s mark stamping there is no way to further identify i...

Re: Four Pyramids and a Palm Tree tang stamp ???

MH72, while doing some research on another German maker, I ran across a reference to an old stamping that included a Pyramid "and a palm tree". The referenced maker was listed as Ferd. Herberz & Cei. Not sure if it's an exact match but seems to be a close fit. Cool old knife. Joe D.

DMLEATH, the bone on your knife looks to be German in my opinion. Looking at a reprint of a book entitled "German Tool And Blade Makers", there is a listing for the name "KAKAIME" associated with a maker, Karl Kaiser. There is no additional information on which to base a search. ...
