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!!

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.

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

K-nice K-nives Galvanic, beautiful bone handles. The first knife picture, is that a rope knife with a manicure secondary (never saw that before) or is it an easy open with the spear blade broken and squared off? Just seems odd to have a rope blade with a manicure blade combination.

It's so nice to view these knives that are in such beautiful condition.
It's also nice to know they are in a place where they are well cared for.
Good for you, Mike for collecting such valuable cutlery.
Thank you.

Thanks for all the kind words about them, Kathy it's 3 5/8" closed.
About the seaman's knife, If you have a copy of Levine's 4th go to page 202 and on the bottom of the page you will see the knife. It's a WW1 Navy seaman's knife. The main blade was definitely not reshaped. Finding on from Cattaraugus is not easy!!
