Found another one hiding among some Catts. 3-1/4", "MOTS", extra long thumbnail nick on the pen blade. Nice and tight. J.O'.

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
I just picked up this Challenge tool kit. What I really like is how they used a "Challenge Cutl. Co. Bridgeport Conn." tang stamp on the accompanying tools. I think the case is made out of pig skin, much like those old pocket knife purses.

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
That is a great looking tool kit with a very intact pouch from one of the country's best cutlers, in my opinion.
You got a beauty there Redrider.

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
This pocket knife arrived very recently in a large group of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT buy the group to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, I was quite pleased that it was in the group. It is a CHALLENGE, two blades, two tang stamps, 3" closed, pocket knife. Both blades have tang stamps. They both read "CHALLENGE - CUT. CO. - BRIDGEPORT - CONN." It is in EXCELLENT condition and it did NOT require any cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you, Joe.
It does look like it is a dog leg pattern.

Good looking knife New Windsor. What are the scales? They almost look like some good wood grain. Beauty.

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
Thank you, Ivoryman.
I don't know what material the handles or scales are.
But, I do know that they are not made of any kind of wood.
I think that they may be celluloid, but I'm not sure.

Oh, my name is Skip.

Added a nice Challenge 3 7/8" Congress, all blades have nice deep tang stamps, does not look to have had much use.
