Here is the book that I have and a scan of the knife that JKB mentioned. I did not find your "dog bone" knife listed in it though. Maybe it might be in another catalog?

How do you keep that Ferguson book so nice looking? Mine is all grungy and dog eared and the pages are all loose. We just had about 14 inches of snow and I am getting cabin fever. I really need a good auction.

I am sure it will get dirty over time. My Goins book is already practically falling apart... I love the knife books & don't mind buying them when I have a couple extra bucks to spare.

My 3 Catts, wish I could find more at a "reasonable" price.

[Jacknifeben]

Nice "coke bottle". Cattaraugus brand knives are a favorite of mine.

heres one i bought the other day for a quarter hope i didnt pay 2 much

[1967redrider]

WOW!

That's the kind of deal I'm looking for.

That coke bottle has a blade etch that says something like "Stern & Chenoweth, Hand Forged _________ted."

[Miller Bro's]

Can we see a closeup of just the coke bottle?

[1967redrider]

That's the best I can do right now, until I get my digital camera back. All I currently have to take pictures with is my cell phone, and it sucks. Here's the only other picture that I didn't post, don't think it's going to help you any though.

here is a picture of one of my Catt coke bottles.

I took a few more pictures last night, just can't get a clear tang stamp or blade etch picture with my cell phone camera. I think the etch says "Stearns & Chenoweth" then "Hand Forged (Warranted or Patented)" on the blade. By the way, is this ebony or cocobolo? Thanks!

[1967redrider]

Forgot- it's pretty much dead-on 3 3/4" closed.

[Jacknifeben]

here is a good old CATT.

Kathy asked me about taking the kids on a vacation this summer, and where I would like to go. I said I don't know about the kids, but if it was up to me, I would go to Iowa and see JACKNIFEBEN's collection.....

[paulsvintage]

Brett, I'm in Indiana, pick me up on your way.

Here's the only Cattaraugus knife I own. I sure like it.

[Jacknifeben]

Sounds good to me.

Whittler that is 3 1/4 closed with potassium permanganate Rogers Indian Trail bone. Cochran & Alcock, Hardware, Carlisle, Penna., l904. (google books) Jigging is nice and crisp. Blades appear to have original finish and are actually sharp.

Pretty minty except for a small crack on the pin under the shield and some initials scratched into the pile side of the main blade.

[paulsvintage]

very nice ! don't you love when they have the original etch

[Jacknifeben]

very nice knife, where did you find it?

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks guys. It was a "buy it now" on eBay. Pleasantly surprised on the condition when I got it in hand.

[1967redrider]

Just added a new Catt to my collection, a 22689 Senator Pen with green(?) bone handles. Interesting that the larger blade doesn't have half-stops but the smaller one does. It has a Riddiford Bros. shield, anyone know what that means?

This would be a perfect EDC in my opinion but I'm not gonna do it.

Thanks!
