Impressive examples everyone!

I seem to remember seeing a tang stamp with a Whale on it, very cool. But not Ahab Knives

The Otter on German knives looks very good too as I think it has a fish in its mouth, or is that a blade etch??

I'll join Will in requesting a whale tang stamp, if you have one. I try to live my life with minimal regrets, but one regret I have is that I ran across a knife (a TL-29 style, IIRC) with a whale stamp at a gun & knife show last year, and passed it up because I had no idea what it was. I still have no idea, but sure regret that I didn't drop the $10 or whatever to pick up the knife. The tang stamp alone would have been worth the investment in entertainment value.

Very cool thread! Love the pictorial stamps! :thumbup:
