Has anyone ever seen one of these case family classic”Honk Falls” congress knives. Any info would be helpful. Starting to think none were actually produced.

Yes agreed Rodger. Just about everything he wrote there is incorrect. It seems he bought up a bunch of dormant trademarks and Incorporated them into his case classics. The honk falls Mark was owned by Tennessee river valley knife association where he was a board member. The contract for the classics was given to Bluegrass cutlery where his partner at Bulldog Charlie Dorton was a partner. Apparently Charlie had the old Case equipment and JP had the intellectual property. Bulldog used the German factory to make their knives. This seems to be how the first modern Honks were made in Germany. Today Frost cutlery, another JP associate ownes the mark and I believe they are made in China. Still I wonder if any of these Congress knives were marked with a honk falls tang. By the way the canoe pictured there was sold on Worth Point by guess who? James Parker. It’s the only Honk Canoe I’ve ever seen but as far as I can tell it looks ligit. The write up he put in the Worth Point page says it came out of a collection from Delaware?? Not sure. For some reason I feel like it may have come out of the Case factory collection. You might remember that collection made its way to the national knife museum at Smokey Mountain which was owned in part by John Parker.

I recently picked up this small 3-3/8" four blade congress marked Honk Falls. Clearly made by Olbertz, with GERMANY inked on the back of one blade.
