Found these two knives in the sheath while cleaning out my house. On the sheath it says "Made in Germany", on the two knives it says "Edge Brand Solingen Germany". Tried doing some research to find out more on them but came up short. Thanks in advance for any info on these two blades . :thumbup:
 
Edge Brand and Edge Mark were 2 brands of the Gutmann Cutlery Company based in Mt Vernon, NY and went out of business in 1997. Another cutlery mark on their knives was GCCO, with and without periods.

It was one of many companies that imported knives made with their name on them. Germany, Japan, Taiwan. Italy. Probably others. The German knives seem to be better than their Japanese or Taiwan made knives.

They also were the importer/distributor for Puma Knives starting in the 1950s.

Many cutlery companies sold "throwing knives" that came in sets of 3, usually with 1 each red, green and either blue, or black handles.
 
Interesting knives. I can't help you with information, unfortunately, but they do look very nice. Can you give us some specs on the thing?
 
Sure, the specs are as follows for each blade:
Weight- 2.5 oz
Overall Length- 7.5 in.
Blade length- 3.75 in.
