Re: Congress Is In Session!
I like your knife Joe. Does it have a split backspring?
Re: Congress Is In Session!
I like that
Re: Congress Is In Session!
Thanks, Keith. It's very small. Less than 3".
In fact I'm going to put in a certain thread.

Very nice old Congess Whittler Joe! Does that long pull run right up into the tang? Don't recall seeing that before--very interesting. And on both sides of the master blade no less. Lovely yellow brown bone handles. And the same long pull running into the secondary or pen blade tangs? Wow and Wow! I like this one very much !!

Re: Congress Is In Session!
Thank you, Lloyd.
Yes, the pull runs through the tang on both sides of the blade.

I was updating my first response when you were responding but do both secondary or pen blades have that same long pull that runs into their tangs? Wonderful Whittler in every regard!!

Re: Congress Is In Session!
The mark side secondary has the long pull through the tang. Only on the one side of the blade.
The pile side secondary has a nail nick.
I was confused by one of my pictures so I went and got the knife. I measured it while I had it out. It's only 2 3/4' long.
It was very finely made. Half stops on all blades. Very responsive, very smart little knife.

Re: Congress Is In Session!
Some very nice and unusual Congress knives shown here. I only have one, a newer Case 62052 SS half-congress. I really don't ever see many of them. They would not be as plentiful as many other patterns. I need to find more, as it is a neat pattern.

This is a Queen #32 Congress in Winterbottom bone I recently picked up. The tang stamp indicates 1958-1960 production.
Re: Congress Is In Session!
That's a really neat looking knife.
Love the blade selection. And the bone.

MB, those old cutlers knew how to make a Knife. That would be a pocket full.

Re: Congress Is In Session!
Thats a great looking 12 blade congress Dimitri ... the fact it still has all 12 blades is amazing given how many always seem to have a snapped blade or 2 .... Also I thought my 6 blade congress was hefty - as Roger said that is indeed a pocket full and as you said lots of steel ...
