All About Pocket Knives

I agree. I love the looks of the stepped bolster Boker but don’t like the repetitive blades.

Not too recently, my trip to the post office produced this Congress, pattern or style of pocket knife. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. At the time, it also became the most recent example to be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a BOKER 6598, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 11/16" closed, one spring, Congress, pattern or style of pocket knife. This two blade, pattern or style of pocket knife, is also referred to as a "Half Congress" The main blade front tang stamp says, "BOKER (over) USA" The main blade back tang stamp says, "6598", the pattern number. Both blades have suffered some metal loss, but sit ok. The main blade does have a CRISP half stop. The main blade does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a SOFT half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is still in GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require cleaning.
I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Very good looking knives, John. The Waterville must be the first knife?

And it is a beauty as are all your other knives.

Thanks for taking the time and sharing with us John, Gene, and Skip. I appreciate your efforts, it may just take me a while to voice it.
