What do you'all think of this Cattaraugus stamping?
My eyes are bad but..overall the knife looks ok..but the stamping is a mess. .Looks like the Tang has been ground.
I suppose that didn't help the Stamping eh?

Re: MESSY CATT STAMPING.
Yeah looks like it was clamped at the tang perhaps to clean up the blade.

Looks ragged out, not unheard of. The rest of the knife is nice

Re: MESSY CATT STAMPING.
The stamp looks fine to me. A lot of the old WRCase Stamos were ragged. Most counterfeit Stamos look really new and have other features that are not good. Not a Catt guy but the knife looks good to me.

Thanks Fellas...All good comments and thoughts
Have prob 60 Catts or so and that one is the worst looking one I've seen.

Re: MESSY CATT STAMPING.
I think the stamp is fine. Just a case where the company tried to extend the life of the punch too long. Saved a few pennies but sacrificed quality in the process. The rest of the knife looks O.K.
