Hi guys
I ask you to help me identify several stamps. Apparently they are of German manufacture. I will be glad to know your opinion and guesses. The photos were not taken by me. Thank you

Hi Arie,
The Second one is the brand of Gustav Branner. Look HERE for more Information.
Type is a so called „Tuttlinger Bauernmesser“. By the way: yours is a fine example!👍

Hi
Thank you so much. One mystery solved! 👌
However, it is still interesting to learn about the first knife with the inscription «stahl» and a six-pointed star.
 
The second mystery might be solved as well, but there's no guarantee ;)

F.W. (that's Friedrich Wilhelm) Backhaus used a star as a brand as well as a logo (see Carter, p. 83). The "Star"-brand was registered in 1854 and re-registered in 1875.
 
I've added some information ... one moment ...

... and the "Star"-logo:

The "X" does not belong to the star.
