I would like some pictures to be sure but I think the "figure 8" is really supposed to be two ropes forming a union knot.

This Union Cutlery was NOT the one from Tidioute and later on Olean NY. It was out of Chicago I think!!!   Parker used the knot on a repro with the Union Tidoute tang stamp, but he didn't know they weren't related. It is an older knife, but NOT a Union Cutlery of Olean. Hope this helps guys. Great stuff

Thanks David, That certainly clears things up for me. Can i assume if I come across a tang stamp in the future that reads "warranted" along with Union Cutlery that it is not from Tidioute or Olean?

You are correct in your statement. The two are unrelated
