I bought this well used pocket knife from an antique store. For the life of me I cannot find anything about this knife. The tang of one of the blades is stamped like so:
A K C
GERMANY

It also looks to have a stamp on the opposite side of the blade that looks mostly worn away. Any help is much appreciated!

That was a Cole National brand 1960s - early 80s. Sabre is probably the other word, as sometimes they are co-branded. Cole also owned Ka-Bar for a while. The AKC Germany knives seemed to have been phased out by the 70's in favor of just using the Sabre name. Also production shifted to Japan for most things.

Edit, I just realized I didn't tell you what AKC is, it stands for American Knife Company.
