55 checking in. These are absolute home runs in every way. So well done, and a perfect vintage look. I have a new favorite knife. Straight into the pocket.

#127 arrived recently. Excellent fit and finish! Great job GEC and Spark! Thank you

I hope mine doesn't come too soon.
Still hoping for #512, and we're barely into the 100's.

My goodness the hump back congress is a lot of knife. Here it is next to another of Bill Howard's projects, the Winchester congress pen.

Those look mighty fine posed together. Been playing with mine, working the joints with oil and plenty of opening/closing - the main has moved up from a 5 to a 6 on the closing snap, and the pen has dropped from a 9 to an 8 on the opening pull. Fine action on those two blades, fit and finish is perfect. OH
Ps., having #44, I keep humming Marty Robbins western tunes while playing with the knife.

Gave this one a flush, and I'd say the pulls are 7-8 on the main and 8-9 on the secondary which I prefer. I like how substantial this knife feels. It's in a whole other league compared to the acrylic versions.

Mine arrived at home but I haven't been there in a couple of months. I hope to be there next weekend to find out what I have.

Number 203 checking in here: pretty much perfect in every way! Got lucky with the pulls with both blades smooth and snappy, but easy to open. 203 is the state office number where i have worked for nearly twenty years now and will be retiring from in about four months, also the department number of the factory i worked in before i started this job, so it seems like a fitting retirement present to myself! Thanks to Spark, Meako and everbody else involved in making this a reality!!

I know Spark is a one man army working through these, but these pictures aren't helping with the waiting. I'm waaaaay towards the bottom of the list and it is hard being patient.

Kidding aside, thank you Spark for putting this together!

I got #260. I'm local to Spark, but don't think that had anything to do with it.

I'll try to get a pic in a day or 2. Still not ready to open it one handed.

I heard back from Ted a little while ago he said he's doing fine and appreciates you all thinking of him .

#136 arrived at the end of last week.

I've been perplexed by the naming of this, since it doesn't look like a Congress to me, but Meako's description of the back of the tube cleared that right up!

I'm back at it again today, shipping as fast as possible. We'll see how many I get through

Apart from that out of context mishmash of knife names from the Porchenberg Knife Namers Guild...I contacted Kevin for confirmation.

Glad to hear that he got back to you. Thanks for reaching out to him.
