High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hen & Rooster Brown Picked Bone Congress is a timeless pocket knife rooted in tradition and built with craftsmanship that speaks for itself. Known for their exceptional quality and classic styling, Hen & Rooster delivers a reliable tool in the Congress pattern that’s as functional as it is collectible.
This knife features a quartet of mirror-polished stainless steel blades: two 2.25-inch sheepsfoot blades and two 1.875-inch pen blades. Each blade is accessible via nail nick and offers fine control for precision work—whether you're slicing, trimming, or sharpening pencils by the fire. The sheepsfoot blades excel at controlled push cuts, while the pen blades are perfect for lighter, everyday tasks. With all four options at your fingertips, this knife is ready for just about anything your day brings.
The 3.75-inch closed length makes it compact enough for easy pocket carry, while still offering a solid feel in the hand. The handle is crafted from rich brown picked bone, giving it a rugged yet refined look with a textured surface for added grip. Brass pins and liners bring durability and warm contrast, while nickel silver bolsters and a traditional shield inlay finish the handle with classic Hen & Rooster style.
The Congress pattern itself is a staple among traditional pocket knives, favored for its symmetrical shape, comfortable contours, and multiple blade choices. Whether you're an outdoorsman, craftsman, or simply a fan of old-world knife designs, the Brown Picked Bone Congress carries heritage in your pocket.
With a build that feels like it belongs to another era—but with the quality to meet today's expectations—this knife is equally suited to collectors, daily users, and those looking to hand down a piece of practical history.
