My only Honk Falls. It was in this over polished condition when I purchased it. While I don't like knives that have been so polished, it is evident that in a past life it had been left to rust and then sharpen poorly.

Polished is better than scrapped!
It is still a fine old knife, and I am glad that it is in the hands of someone who appreciates it!

Yeah, I've seen so many old Case knives that look computer generated images.

This is my lates Honk Falls. I recently gained possession of some factory papers and a ledger. The file contains papers pertaining to the 1930-31 timeframe with some from as early as 1920. The ledger has bills paid and checks received from 1936-1941. There is information relating to Marbles, Ulster, Utica, Schrade and much more. Many of the questions about Honk Falls that I’ve been trying to track down are answered in these papers. Importantly they reveal that U J Ulery purchased the Napanoch name and intellectual property from Winchester in July 1920. About a year after winchester purchased Nap. Here is a pic of when J Cushner purchased the Nap name from Ulery. With this and other information I’ve been gathering about the origins of Napanoch (1900) I can put the whole story together. What’s interesting is the relationship between W R Case and knives being made for Sears and Robuck in 1902. Lots here but happy to share the history and help with any questions that I can.
