Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963

[wlf]

Just caught up with this thread.

DMA,very nice knife,with a lot of provenance .
Nice stuff Josh and Tom.

Mike you know I like that farmers jack,it's different.One of the smallest at 3 5/8",with the largest pruning blade of my farmers,except that Aerial "farmers moose". Very unusual....Your blades look unused in the photos.Unique to say the least on those beautiful Expo knives.

Dimitri,those knives are cool and weird,nice one.

Nice set Ron.

Found this one at the local Lehigh Valley Knife show yesterday, a sleeve board pen with full blades and jigged bone handles. Tang is 4 lines with Cattaraugus arched on the first line, then Cutlery Co, then Little Valley and finally N.Y.

Finally found some information on the Stearns & Chenoweth etching on the knife I posted back on pages 5-6 of this thread. Apparently they were an Oregon based hardware store back in the 1880's with a location in Oakland, OR. Here's some links if you're interested;

Sheesh, I just saw this thread!! Check out my Catt hunters I just posted in the fixed blade forum, too much work to do it again here. Hey Mike we missed you at Lewisburg, Barry said you were out in AZ. Hope you got some good sun out there!!

Nice ones Fellas!
Never seen the Floater before

[galvanic1882]

Don't think I have posted these before on this thread? All 3 have pearl covered backs.

[galvanic1882]

These are 2 more I picked up a few weeks ago. The single blade knife is called a spatula florist knife in an old Cattaraugus catalog!!

[FRJ]

Beautiful knives, Mike. ..... as usual .....

[Jacknifeben]

How old is the catalog? I am alway looking for old reference books and some more old Cattaraugus knives.

[galvanic1882]

Not sure of the age of the catalog but Ritchie and Stewart produced a copy of it and the page in the copy is 102 that the knife is shown on.

[knifegirl888]

It is so cool when you find information like that! Great knives, Mike!

[galvanic1882]

Ok here is one more that I don't thunk I ever posted here!!

[knifegirl888]

You gotta love ink! Sweet!

[galvanic1882]

Thanks Kathy, you know I love the ink so heres another whittler medium sized.

[knifegirl888]

Another beauty! That really has a beefy master blade. It seems bigger for that knife. How big is that knife closed?
