Added a nice Challenge 3 7/8" Congress, all blades have nice deep tang stamps, does not look to have had much use.
Sheepsfoot John scores again! That is a real beauty!

Good ol' Challenge, they sure knew how to put out a beautiful knife.
Your knife sure proves that, John.
A real beauty, that's for sure.

Thank you all

I do think Challenge made some of the highest quality vintage knives, the few I have are all top notch.

This is one of my favorite old Challenge knives. I'm not sure what the handle material is, it doesn't look like celluloid to me, maybe Bakelite(?), linoleum?, not sure but it is beautiful (at least to me):
I posted this knife before I saw the beautiful old jack posted by ObsidianEdge, what a beauty
