Here is a knife that i think is quite rare: 3 1/4" Jos. Rodgers His Majesty Swell Center Congress Whittler. In LG4, pg 253, Bernard says "They are lightweight premium quality knives, and every one of the few i have seen had a manicure blade.

Gorgeous little knife KJ!! Lee, most congress whittlers will have sheepsfoot main blades, and that is a swell center congress.

Roland, That is a really nice whittler. Unique without a file, a true whittler. Cutlers To His Majesty .... with England stamp vintage 1910 to 1952. I think the earlier part of that period. Thanks for sharing, Barry

Pretty cool that most have a sheep foot master Gene - I haven’t seen many of that whittler knife pattern .. though as you allude to sheeps foot master blades in a congress are common so makes sense..

Lee, if you look in Levine's Guide, pg 253 you will see a few Swell Center Congress whittlers and can see all have a slender sheepsfoot master blade.
I found this in with a group of pearl senators. I need to look through the rest of my pearl pen knives to see if i have anymore of this pattern.

No sheepsfoot and sporting a manicure blade.
And it has that fashionable belted shield.

NICE knives gentlemen!
Here's a H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery version of that pattern with a manicure blade.

Nice Boker knife Roger
... looks like a wharncliffe master blade too
... Joe’s knife had a spear blade as a master - in Levine’s there was also a congress whittler with a spear so guess a sheep foot master doesn’t define or there are no doubt exceptions to what the master blade can be... the handle frame no doubt is similar among all...
