this John Primble Congress...I think mostly it is the size of the thing: and at over 4 inches this is a heavy, solid knife!
Here it is, compared to my Case 6254 Trapper.

That John Primble Congress is a monster! I love it!

I would like to ... ... but I don't want to get held up in Canuk Customs for 3 to 4 weeks...

[Madmarco]

Due to it's spring assist it would be a lot longer than 3-4 weeks, it would never leave Customs.
They sell them in most knife stores and sites though!

This has been quite a turn-around for me:

Typically I have not enjoyed carrying a Congress pattern knife. Just this week I traded off a Case Congress that was a good knife, I just didn't carry it much anymore.
But when my parents gave me this John Primble Congress this weekend, and I have carried it for several days now.
I think mostly it is the size of the thing: I normally carry a full-sized Stockman or something similar, and at over 4 inches this is a heavy, solid knife!
Here it is, compared to my Case 6254 Trapper.

What's with companies using natural disasters and manmade ones to promote their brands??? I forget what the dishwashing soap was, but I think it was Dawn or something, after a big oil spill they showed commercials with volunteers cleaning off birds covered in oil with their soap. Then there was Tide, who saved the day with washing machines that they brought in and supplied everyone with free Tide detergent for their laundry - I think that was Katrina or something.

Anyway, here's what my future "purse carry" might be.

This is another model you may wish to consider for purse carry, Kim. It's similar to the model you posted, but it has a smaller flipper-tab that once engaged whips the blade out as fast as an auto via spring assistance and is less intrusive, as well as the flipper-tab not protruding from the frame when open like it does on the posted knife, which IMO makes the knife more streamlined.
It's an Al Mar designed Kershaw AM-5 2340 "Speedsafe" spring-assisted frame-lock, has an 8Cr13Mov drop-point blade, beautiful G-10 and steel covers, and is very well made.
Currently available at www.kershaw-knives.net/US$33.29 + shipping (?) and worth every dime of it!
Check it out, I'm certain you'll like it!

Love that one, Marco! Really like the feel of the finger grooves!

Thanks, y'all, and some truly great carries yourselves!

Because the past two days were celebratory, I dug out some special knives.

The Peanut is the one that kicked off my interest in traditional knives. A jack, like the Schrade 33OT purchased from GSPTOPDOG, has become one of my favorite patterns. The Camillus 27 led a hard life before I got it, and was very awesomely reworked by HerbVA. And the 12031L is my oldest Case (1974).

The 6.5225 1/2 is my newest Case (2022), and I like its old feel. The Imperial cattle knife, which came from TripleF, is a terrific old knife in a favorite style. And finally we have the birth year Trapper.

I can't help but wonder if Anheuser-Busch started donating canned water to woo people back to buying Bud Light, which is basically canned drinking water?

Anyway, here's my EDC - for opening mail and packages and what not. One of the 3 or 4 keepers from the Goodwill auctions.

Dang, gard, you've been holding out on the Lionel trains! S-2 20 wheel Steam Turbine, those had a smoke light, and smoke pellets are getting hard to find. Do you run it any? I happen to have a 681 and it gets track time often. Nice carries too!

Dan, that's a fine collection. And the best part is they all have a story and mean something to you. That's what it's all about! Congrats!

Love it Garddogg! The new and the old. Great knives!

Thought this would be a good Friday carry..A Bear stockman. The pile side looks pretty cool.

[Quick Steel]

TMK, that is some nice looking stag.

[toomanyknives]

TMK, that is some nice looking stag.

Thanks QS! That's actually some of what Bear calls "Bonestag". It's bone that's jigged to look like stag, like the Case 6.5 handles.
Some of it looks pretty good though. Thanks again!

Awesome piece Kerry!! great photo as well.

A Boker #5474 Large Congress, with ringjaw bolsters, & an Ulster #3108 Senator, with a crack in the bone just to the left of the bar shield. The manicure file on the Ulster is handy when I'm carrying a knife with strong springs - I can fix a thumbnail before it gets too bad. Also too bad is that crack. I looked at some older pictures & the crack has been there at least two or three years without me being aware of it until I started to edit this picture. I bet I'll forget it's there unless I photograph it again.
