KEN ERICKSON 1/2 congress

SOLD $625 shipped conus, Paypal fees included

I have a very nice Pre-ban Ivory half congress for sale. This knife gents knife would be a neat knife to carry on Sundays or to the office. The blades on this knife are ground thin with very nice nesting when closed. No blade rubs, extremely smooth, firm half-stops and a 4 to 4+ nice pull. This knife is based on a vintage Queen, very slender, easy carry. 3 3/8 inch closed. I am offering this knife at, what I feel, is a very attractive price because of a flaw in the backspring. My dimple that is left when I Rockwell test my blades and springs is right on the edge. You can see it in the picture which is much enlarged. This dimple will never affect the function of the knife or spring and is much less noticeable in hand. This knife does have coining/milling around both sides of the liners. Blades and springs are 154cm. You can say "I will take it" it here, pm or email.

Very nice! I like how the kicks look like the old knives in my collection. Most modern slipjoints have ugly kicks.
 
Pure class.
Needs a leather bound book and a glass of Mccallan's next to it.
