"Congress Roundup" - Let's see your Congress Pattern Knives

Hi, I have a Boker 5452 also, and love how it carves basswood. It's able to do all the different carving tasks I ask of it with those great carbon steel blades it has. It's been well used and cared for, but not that pretty---not as pretty as yours, so I don't have a picture for you. It's easy to sharpen and well constructed. The blades are quite thin, yet they are able to make torque cuts without bending the blade. It measures 3 & 1/8 inches closed, and fits very well in my average-size hands. I wish Boker made these still, I'd buy more of them, and so would other wood carvers. I use it regularly in my rotation as I carve wood projects.

Here's a couple I shot a few years ago. That's an original Cargill Cripple Creek.
