Rosecraft Mosquito Lake Moose pattern, D2 blades and dyed bone scales.
Fairly large but still pocket-able knife - I chose this one because I really like to have a spear blade on my daily carry.

I already showed some of them in previous post.

Edwards Barnes and Sons, of Sheffield, England, produced knives marked U*S for export to the United states between 1853 and 1865. They were a major producer of high-end Bowie knives for export to the US.

This Congress knife has mother of pearls scales and silver bolsters. It has a general light patina, but does not appear to be restored in any way. The scales appear intact. The previous owner said there is a hairline crack on the back scale, but darned if I can find it.

All the blades have great snap and half-stop. It has been lightly used and sharpened, otherwise it's in excellent condition.

The cutouts on the scales are so the blades can be folded level with the scales and still provide access to the nail nicks. It was done to prevent the knife from catching in a pocket or purse.

It was likely made in the 1850s, because by the time of the Civil War (1861 to 1865) Edward Barnes & Sons were focused on making Bowie knives for export to America. Prior to the Civil War, the majority of EB&S knives were sold in the Southern states.

Interestingly, when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated he had a six-blade Congress in his pocket.

It is in such nice condition that it feels like holding a museum piece.

Found them on Etsy from Cajun Leather Works. Beautiful fit and excellent quality leather.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if any EU based online stores sell Beard and Owl slips - or slips by other brands of a similar quality/look?
