I didn't mean to be cryptic, Gary. Dove hunting season just started, and I used the 25 to prepare some dove. :)

That's a nice herd of sowbellies you have. :cool: Enjoy the long weekend.

Congrats, R8shell. Too wet in northern Virginia for a decent hunt (though doves were flying).

Jack it's always a pleasure to see Stans craftsmanship on display. It appears that Wrights have acquired some very nice Stag, that is a beautiful knife my friend! :thumbsup:

Wow, Mike, that's a cool old Case :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:, but I can't figure out exactly what it is! :confused: Congress frame, but it's not a standard 4-blade congress, is it??

Thanks GT! Perhaps the confusion comes from the knife not being quite as old as you'd expect. This one is marked MCMXCIII.
There are, in fact, four blades

on four springs,

which I think Case switch to, from two springs, at some point in the '90s.
I've heard some complain that these versions make it harder to get at the blades, and there is just enough of the long pull uncovered in the spear to barely get a thumb nail in there. But I really like the profile, and, being honest, I really got this for the bone...

And after taking these pics, I suppose I will carry it again today...

How are you liking the Pinched Peanut so far Gary? That's a nice pairing of two knives right there.

Thanks Bob. I'm really happy I took the plunge with this one. I put a Hair popping edge on it the other day and it's getting some use. The thin ground blades and the VG-10 make this a nice little slicer. I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be the only knife in my daily carry, but it doesn't take up much room. We're making a trip to Italy in October and this might be the one that makes the trip with me.
Just a note, A.G.'s website lists this at 4.8 oz, it's actually about 1.4 oz. Obviously a misprint.

Good to hear. I think it will make a perfect travel knife. I noticed the weight and just assumed it was a misprint. ;)
 
Hunting season is now upon us in Virginia, so time to put this Puma in my pocket. It was made "sometime" before the start of Puma date stamping in 1964, but it is ready to do some work.

The double set of saw teeth allows for cutting on both the forward and back strokes. The spear main is a lock back blade.
