German Knife Company Question...
I have a lobster knife with a tang stamp of GEBR. STAMM over GERMANY on one side and ORIGINAL TIDAX on the other. I've researched and found Gebr. Stamm Stahlwarkenfabrik is a company that dates to 1906 and is still in business today. The Stamm family have apparently been making cutlery around Solingen since 1640.
Does anyone know if ORIGINAL TIDAX was one of their brand lines or is it something else? What's confusing is that I have found identical knives that have Original Tidax stamped on them but with BRISTOL LINE GERMANY as the company. Also saw one that said it was made by JAMIN INT. CO..
Unfortunately Goins has very little information. Can anyone shed some light on these companies and/or brands?
