PAL marked knives of that era used blades imported from Germany, and the blades typically bore the word Germany as well. Another company using the name PAL was established in Chicago in 1934. This company was known as the Pal Blade Company of Chicago, and was started by Otto Kraus. In 1935 the two PAL companies merged into one, known simply as the PAL Blade Company, and opened a manufacturing facility in Plattsburg, NY.
