All About Pocket Knives

Thank you guys, Thats about what my guess was. I reckon it would be handy to get rid of cockle burrs.
Have a good one,
Bill

Got this knife mainly cause ive never seen one like it and it was cheap ::tu:: I have no idea what i was used for other than to possibly do some sort of hair cutting??? I only say that because of the comb styled blade but it is very sharp kinda like a weird serrated edge. Does anyone know or have id...

It could be as early as '73... that's about the extent of my knowledge

Well thats interesting... I sure thank you for your help it saved me some money it sounds I will pass this info along.
Thanks again,
Bill

Hey fellas, Came across this knife tonight at a pool tournament and the owner has some questions but i wasn't sure exactly what to tell him. It is stamped: Approved USCG 1944-796 Kutmaster Utica NY US. I was sure it was a Cotton Sampler and i told him that but he was under the impression it was from...

Gotcha.. your right I just meant its an example of what the style should look like but thx, I shoulda been more clear

I have one exactly like it made by Cattaraugus. Its not in as good of shape but it is the real thing. It also has both blades stamped and its 3-3/4" long, though its not a case the two company's were closely related but the blades seem differently shaped on mine. I had a post on it awhile back ...

got any pics of the stamp and knives?

Thank you guys for all your info, i really appreciate it! I have been out of town for a few days and haven't gotten to reply. I meant to call it a cotton sampler not a pruning knife i feel dumb lol. From now on i guess we will just call it a maze knife...

Thanks again everyone,
Bill

Hey guys, I was bored the other and was digging through a bunch of knives i had poked away and found this. Its a Hibbard Spencer Bartlett 212, and i call it a "pruning" knife but im not sure if that's right or not. I don't have a book that covers this brand an i hoped someone could check i...

Prolly a '78 but needs pics

Its not a Buck, thats bout all i can tell you. Good luck and welcome to the forum

lol... yea thats about right haha. I shoulda realized it was just an office knife but it threw me off not finding it in the Catt patters listed on the site. ::dang:: Check out this ol Hawg that i got with it.... I just love auctions sometimes ::tu:: (its in better shape than it looks, kinda a bad pi...

Thanks guys for all your help. My guess is that your right about it being an office knife because it does say something very faintly on the handle but i cant read it .

Thank you again,

Bill

I got this knife last fall at an estate auction and i have been trying to find a reference to the pattern. The handles are yellow celluloid or some sort of plastic but there isn't a pattern number on it. Both blades are marked Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley NY. If anyone has seen a knife like...

Thank ya much! I really appreciate it

Bill

Can anyone identify this stamp? It looks to me like it says US or maybe RUSO??? Any ideas? I guess its a pic of a rooster so maybe its an early Hen & Rooster stamp? I have no ideas..
Thanks for the help,
Bill

Wow!! I love Catts.. be great to see what else you got...

Bill

Thank ya much,
Bill

I got an old metal handled Challenge Cutlery knife thought u guys might wanna take a look at. (i say metal handle cause im not really sure what it is, just an all steel frame) The only others ive seen similar to it are two E.C Simmons Keen Kutters a friend of mine has that ive been keepong my eye on...

Thanks Phil, im glad you feel the same way as i do about old knives. I have lots of nice knives but the ones that get me excited are the old junkers haha

Bill

Thank you guys for takin a look I think you hit it right on about missing the bail. I wish it was in better shape but i dont think a person will see many.
Thanks again,
Bill

I googled Abercrombie and found that Bob Loveless made knives for them and he had ties to gerber. Im sure they contracted other companys but maybe thats a possibility.

lol id say.. looks like somethin i would buy Atleast hes got cheap shipping

I hope you guys dont get tired of answering my questions ::dang:: but I really appreciate your help. What exactly do i have here?? is this a good find or just another old junker? Does Abercrombie still make knives because ive never seen one till i came across this. I think it could possibly be missi...
