Tang Stamps Charts
Re: Tang Stamps Charts
Welcome to AAPK.
Please post a picture or scan of the tang stamp.
It is really hard to visualize a tang stamp from a verbal description unless it is really common & most folks are familiar with it.
Are there any words, letters or numbers with this pictorial tang stamp?
They could prove to be helpful in identifying the knife.

Re: Tang Stamps Charts
Here's one I got at my grandfather's, regarding the Winchester Repo's. He said the metal handled Winchester knives were made by Utica, all the rest were made at the Queen factory. They aren't tangs exactly, but they mention the tang stamp, and is still good info to have for these.

Anyone have a 'super-spy-decoder-ring' that can make sense of all the numbers on the back side of this 1946-1956 Imperial equal end jack?

As usual, I've come to the right place for all my knife related questions. You guys amaze me with the sheer amount of cumulative knowledge y'all have at your fingertips. I can't thank you enough for sharing it so willingly (and also for being so patient with me). This thread in particular is a veritable gold mine of information.
Cheers & Aloha,

Re: Tang Stamps Charts
I'm looking for info on the "Whale" tang stamp, (Solingen I think?). I looked, but couldn't find it listed on this thread. I've seen it here on AAPK, but can't seem to find it now, any info would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Re: Tang Stamps Charts
I've noticed several people in different posts ask about a tang stamp chart for Carl Schlieper / German Eye knives.
Ray (Paladin) has helped me many times with Eye questions, and I compiled a chart (sort of).
As most of you know, you can't say "Eye Brand knives used this tang stamp from 19xx to 19xx".
You have to take several things into account (tang stamp, shield, etch, etc.).
Here is what I came up with, I hope you find it useful.

Re: Tang Stamps Charts
mansolingen,
Even though they share some common tang stamps, I don't think you can apply any of the same rules to fixed blade Schlieper knives. I've seen lots of variations with them. Maybe someone can enlighten us.

Re: Tang Stamps Charts
Here is a chart for dating Ka-Bar knives. I always struggled dating Ka-Bar and I borrowed this from Voyles.
KA-BAR Knives and dating them:
1898-Tideoute Cutlery Co. formed in Tideoute, PA
1902-Factory purchased by Wallace Brown, Started in Tideoute, PA as Union Razor Company
Union Razor Company, Tideoute mark used 1902-1909 (Equivalent in Case language--Case Brothers, W. R. Case &SON)
Union Cutlery Co. Tideoute marked knives were only made 1898-to approx. 1912. (Equivalent in Case language--Case Brothers, W. R. Case & Sons)
Union Cutlery Co. with North American outline 1912-1923 (Equivalent in Case language: W. R. Case & Sons, Case Bradford PA)
Union Cutlery Co. Olean, NY 1912 first used.
OLCUT, and Keenwell also used first in the 20's.
After 1923--KA-BAR on main blade, and Union Cutlery Co. Olean, NY on either the back of the blade if a single blade, or on one of the smaller blades. These will be referred the Union mark. If I state the Union mark it means the blade will be stamped "Union Cutlery Co. Olean, NY" (Equivalent in Case Language: Case Tested)
After 1952 Union Cutlery Co. is no longer marked on the knives. (Equivalent in Case Language: XX and USA)
Kabar, USA was changed to in 1951
In the 70's a pattern number was added between the Kabar and the USA. (Equivalent in Case language: Case dots)

Re: Tang Stamps Charts
Regarding Schlieper Eye Brand knives does anyone know how far back this branding goes ? Have you ever seen an old one, meaning likely made before WW II ?

Re: Tang Stamps Charts
LG-IV dates Carl Schlieper to 1769.
I have personally never seen one I thought was prior to WWII and certainly not 18th or 19th century.
I suspect there is a lot of research that could be done on the brand.
I do know one thing, their knives are first rate in materials and construction.
I have a very large "Sodbuster" style knife that my Dad gave me in 1961. Whether that predates Case's Sod Buster pattern, I do not know.
This knife has the strongest backspring I have ever encountered.
