MFR'S Union Cutlery Co. --- 1887-1888 --- Chicago, Illinois.
Eight bladed congress. 3 1/2"
Beautifully made knife. All blades stamped. All blades land perfectly.
This knife is so strong and shows no signs of slowing down.
No wobble on these blades whatsoever, but there are so many of them there's no place for them to go.
I can't believe I own it and am so happy to have it.
By the grace of God it was saved from the grinder and the buffer.
Thanks for looking.

You're a lucky guy Joe!! I had made an early bid on it and got home fairly whupped from three days at the Mystic show and plumb forgot to bid late. It is a sweet knife!! By the way, didn't see you at Mystic, some good deals went down there for sure.
