Now we know where all the Bokers are ::drool::

I almost forgot this one. One of my favorites. Aged for 12 or 13 years in my pocket. If I would have known I would have bought several. About thirteen dollars in 73 or 74. ::dang::

Greg those are great little knives. Looks just like the one I found in my mailbox on Christmas Eve. That wooden handle has a nice warm feel to it in the hand and I got a feeling it would wear beautifully in the pocket.

Congrats to your sis. She picked you a nice one. ::tu::

Phil, I nearly fell over when I opened the package...I totally wasn't expecting that from her... I'll have to be extra good to her for a long time now... ::dang::
I agree, I bet it would look even better after some pocket wear.

My favorite, a Queen #31 large half congress winterbottom bone scales, nickel silver bolsters. Circa 1932-1955. 4 inches closed.

Also Abraham Lincoln's congress knife that was in his pocket the night he was shot. It's in the Library of Congress with the rest of the items that were in his pockets that night. I can't recall the maker right now.

Thanks, Ranger. We just got that Boker at a gunshow this weekend. Even though its worn, it has such a cool look.

I have really enjoyed looking at all the Congress knives shown already!

Here's a few more...

Nice knife!! The W.R. Case & Sons knife I have pictured, seems to be right, but I have not seen a stamp like it before (no city)? Maybe the experts can tell me if it's correct or not..

Great showing folks. I like the congress pattern, but mostly prefer the 2 blade half congress models. Here's an old delrin Case I picked up recently.
