I have posted these before in another thread, but I thought I would add them here as well. I hope I'm not burning you all out on old H. Bokers.

H. Boker's.

[philco]

Great showing TGG. There's something about those Boker congress knives.

[Beechtree]

Great line up greedy. The mother of pearl congress with the threaded bolsters is really pretty Looks like a real dandy.

I liked that 1st one too,along with the rest.always a pleasure to see your knives.

[thegreedygulo]

Thanks Philco. I enjoyed meeting & talking with you @ Parker's show. It was good to put a face with your board name.

Thanks Beechtree & I'm glad you liked them.

Thank you Lyle. I enjoyed meeting & talking with you at Parker's show as well. Looked like you captured quite a few roosters while you were there.

[Miller Bro's]

Wow! I love `em especially the jig bone handles

[philco]

Here's a Wendell Carson made Fightin' Bull that I picked up at the Blade Show.

I'm not entirely sure it meets the strict definition of a congress (No sheepfoot main blade) but Mr. Carson didn't always conform to traditional details.

[FRJ]

That's a real beauty there, Phil.
You must be happy with that.

[wornoutwrench]

I've shown this ratty old thing before, but since this is congress thread:
