Hi Charles, I have one nice Congress, but that one is a doozie, (doozy?); Buck #322 Congress, a 1995 SFO for Smokey Mountain Knife Works and only sold in their catalog that single year; never marketed by Buck. I keep this one in a glass display case with my other Buck SFO's.

I had a couple of Rough Rider bone handled Congess knives too, but ended up gifting those. The only other Congress I have is a no-name Pakistani knife not worth showing that I carry occasionally.

Anybody here into Congress knives? It's my favorite pattern -- I had 35 at last count; my prize is a 12-blade Bulldog, but I've also got a couple of Parkers that I'm proud of. My favorite carry knives are a 6-blade Hen & Rooster, a medium Case, and a small Case "pocket worn," which was my first Congress knife 20 years ago. PIcs are pending...  I'm fond of Case knives too, and I probably have enough of them to be termed a Case collector.

Falcon Knives is an Italian company of pretty good quality

http://www.falconknives.it/

There have been numerous models called Falcon and there is another Chinese company called Falcon as well as a Red Falcon that trades on Ali Express (may they rot in Hell)

These normally go for around $15-20 on eBay. The handles are normally buffalo horn or plastic that looks like horn. Af for the small tiny toothpicks such as Case's 3 inch Texas Toothpicks, these are small gentleman'S knives are are really decorative in nature. That said, they make excellent tiny cutters for small chores and the blade is bigger than the Swiss Classic SD. Pretty much legal to carry anywhere except the airport!

Nah---- My oldest brother is just my knife enabler who feeds my knife addiction. Now, on the other hand, my middle brother has a knife collection as large as mine !!  Him, I might suspect as a cheesy knife display purloiner !! ROFL

Sounds like your brother's been holding out on you...That stand was worth more than the knife itself! I may have considered it for 10, maybe even 15 whole seconds before throwing it out.

Richard- Mine was gifted to me by my oldest brother- He normally gifts me knives from SMKW and are in the under $20 range. (Rough Riders and the like). I, too, saw that listing & found it laughable !!.However, mine did  NOT come with a cheesy wood display or an arbitrary serial #. Aww golly gee whiz !! ROFL
