Thanks Keith, those Remington's you have are great!!!

[FRJ]

Beautiful knives as usual, Mike.

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.

[FRJ]

That's a really neat looking knife.
Love the blade selection. And the bone.

[Miller Bro's]

12 blades!

[peanut740]

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

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Roger, a lot of steel here!

[LongBlade]

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 ...

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Lee, very hard to find intact, though this one is missing it's shield, all the blades are present with excellent snap!

Here's some additional pictures

[espn77]

Lol. That's a heck of a knife Dimitri. Guy probably wants a sheath for that.

A couple of photos of a neat little half congress I picked up over the weekend at our local flea market for a few bucks. Unfortunately, there are no markings or tang stamp. The old celluloid handles will be going bye-bye. Maybe horn or stag would look good.

[OLDE CUTLER]

I rehandled that no name half congress with ivory paper macarta and in my pocket it goes. The old celluloid were really bad, just crumbling away.

Looking good OC

Nice job on a new carry knife, OC.

Here's a 3 1/2" Robeson.

[RobesonsRme.com]

Nice Joe.

Looks like a 453 pattern.

Here's my latest pickup, love the carved pearl and the nail pulls going through the tang. It's a beefy knife at 3 3/4" closed

Nice Robeson, Joe!
Beautiful Joseph Rodgers, Mike! It looks like the master blade, and the other one hinging on the same end, both have pulls on both sides of the blades? I also really like the carved pearl handles.

[FRJ]

MFR'S Union Cutlery Co., 3 1/2" closed. 1887-1888

[galvanic1882]

Great looking knife Joe!

Here is another Rodgers with stag handles. I owned this knife years ago and like an idiot sold it. Glad I was able to get it back, thanks Charlie for letting me trade for it!

[FRJ]

Thank you, Mike.
I regret not commenting on your earlier fine pearl Rodgers. That is quite the crisp knife. Very fine.

Your latest stag swell center? congress is a beautiful knife.
I'm sure you're glad to have that one back.

[ObsidianEdge]

Congrats again Joe on the eight blade congress. Mike, both of those congress knives are off of the charts!

[FRJ]

Thanks Mike.
