Stag Congress on the way and a Very Limited run of #25's
I'm sure most of you have seen the pic' on the GEC website of the new Burnt Stag #61 Congress by now. Check out the bolsters, swedge and the new shield.
This is the first of the Northfield Congress' and it exactly what I wanted to see the Congress look like. It's a classy looking, pocket friendly design. I've been carrying and using one of the 61's and can only say good things about it. One of these days I'll try to sit down long enough to write a few observations about it.
Next item of interest is a group of limited run #25's that're are coming through in the next few weeks. Posted below are the actual final Production Totals.

That is a good look'n stag handle, even if it is on a knife with 4 blades. The shield adds a 'arched back' look to the congress as well. Hmmm, maybe should start collecting some congress style also???? Salami, cheez, fruit and toad stabber too.

The reference to 'toad stabber' was a term I heard as a boy quite often in KS and Southern NE from people that carried pocket knives. Don't know what the real reference was, but I remember my grandfather and his friends referring to a pocket knife as a 'toad stabber', must have been a regional slang like 'UFTA' in MN.
Yea, GEC does make a fine knife.

I grew up in Northern Iowa and we also referred to them as toad stabbers. Just use a long stick, some baling twine and you'll figure it out. I grew up living on a crick and we used our pocket knives for all sorts of unintended purposes!!
