The **Imperial Congress Black Swirl IMP17CON** is a classic slipjoint pocket knife. The way the four blades are gripped together is a defining feature of the Congress design. In this case, it is four blades which all resemble a sheepsfoot shape. 



The blades are made from 3Cr13MoV. This is a simple stainless steel that's easy to sharpen and therefore perfect for everyone. You open the blades with two hands and a slipjoint then locks the blades in place. Not a real lock, merely some resistance. This means you can legally carry this knife almost anywhere. The handle is a 'black swirl', a kind of acrylic with a metallic graphic, reminiscent of a photo of the cosmos.



For traditional multi-blade knives, the specifications are based on the largest blade.



## Imperial Schrade Knives


Imperial belongs to Schrade Knives. They make great knives at great prices. This is what Imperial excels at. There are few brands that can compete with these kinds of prices. However, this does mean that the finish might not always be perfect. Nothing major, and definitely in line with the prices.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
