Northwoods whittler vs northwoods small congress

[Ernie1980]

Hey there!

I have narrowed my next knife purchase down to these two knives. I am having trouble finding more than just general reviews, I am really wanting more pictures! Specifically, I would like the see both knives closed and at an angle so I can see where the blades sit. It drives me crazy to get a knife, sharpen it once (or not even at all!) and get poked by the end of the blade. Also, since these are made by GEC what is the pull like on them?
Please help me spend some of my Christmas bonus on one of these knives

Thanks!

My best recommendation is to email Derrick at his business and ask. He has always been very honest in his assessments.

I'm a fan of the Norfolk Whittler. Mine's perfect in every way.

Here's a review I did a while back.

I really like the split-back design of these 3-blade whittlers. Pull is fairly light on the main blade, and there is no half-stop. Pull on the two small blades is very light, but they both have half-stops. Here's mine:

Thanks for the review you linked me too, and the pictures above! I missed the chance to call over there today, but will call tomorrow and see if I can get specific information about the pull on the congress.
