Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would know anything about this specific Gravity Knife I have pictures of below. The company on the blade says Black Hawk and says made in Germany. I'm wondering if it's a newer knife or something from WW2 possibly. If anyone knows anything about this and could help; I'd greatly appreciate it.

Re: Gravity Knives(OTF's)
Interesting, I find the marking Black Hawk very odd on the blade. Was Black Hawk a brand Anton Wingen acquired? Why is it that I've tried finding that marking Black Hawk online and have had no luck? Is this specific knife/Marking rare or just a common gravity knife, made by Anton Wingen in Solingen, Germany?

Apparently, these were made for a reseller. This was a common practice.
