1st Generation Congress

Post by Quick Steel »

Here is a 1985 Black Bone Bulldog Congress I picked up from Kennedy Knives at a good price. All blades have half stops. F&F, snappiness, are all first rate.

I like the rounded bolsters on this congress knife.
This is a complete 'aside' but has anyone carried and used a first gen BD. I have seen only 1 post about this and it was claimed steel was too soft to take/hold a good edge.

kj, you raise and interesting point.Do you recall where you saw the reference to the 1st gen steel? The only thing a bit related was a recent post by Open Range who used his 2nd gen. extensively skinning a wide range of critters and which provided excellent service.
