You have an original, early HJ blade by Robert Klaas of which the diamond appears to be a replacement.
The obverse side of the blade should show the motto, but it might be worn/cleaned off: some of these early Klaas HJ's had a very light etching.
This was later corrected by this maker: some early and most double marked Klaas HJ's have very dark and deep motto's!
Best regards,
Herman
