Camillus Congress?

There is probably a simple answer to this question. I have this congress knife with a slightly unusual blade. Anyone know anything about this knife? Does the blade have a particular purpose? Thanks

Hi Johnnie. Thanks for the reply. Yes it is serrated sort of like a bread knife. It is not terribly sharp....I can run my finger back and forth across it. Do you know if it has a specific purpose?

is it dulled or just not sharpened? maybe small loaves of bread!

Not dulled from use. In like new condition. Serrated with points but not with a sharp edge. If that makes sense. Blade about 2 inches long. Perfect for italian breadsticks perhaps

Thanks MM. It looks very similar to that one. Just wondering for what purpose. The teeth are not sharp enough to make an effective saw, unlike the Schrade buzz saw trapper for e.g..
