Is the lettering painted, or stamped? I magnified the image as much as I can, and I think the word with "C" and "B" is "CLUB."
It looks painted to me. If it is, try shining an ultraviolet light on it, and maybe enough of the paint flecks will show up that you can read it. It might help to dim the lights to make it show up more.
In the thumbnail photo on the left, the tool looks stamped. It's got . OXO . in an oval, and I really .think the word after that is "Taiwan."
If it is stamped, try putting a piece of paper over it and lightly rubbing the paper with a piece of chalk, or the side of a pencil. Or maybe put a tiny bit of flour or talc on the handle, and see if you can rub it into the indent, maybe you can read it then.
