Stumped on this one.

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

I believe Parker had some Case knives made in Germany in the early 90s! Others will be along to give you more info.

Jim Parker had these knives made in Germany (in the same factory as his Bulldog knives) in the early 1990's . He had them made in 4 different handle materials and at least 6 different styles . The handle materials are pearl , imitation ivory , imitation tortoise shell , and goldstone . The styles (as best as I can "reckamember") are fishtail '051 (yours) , doctor '85 , ladies leg , lg. 5-blade lobster , med. 3-blade lobster , and small 2-blade lobster .
