All About Pocket Knives

Mike I have seen a couple with that CCC stamp but sadly I don't have any myself. Thanks for showing them!

Dimitri, that is probably the best Catt wrench knife I've seen. Can't believe you've been holding out on us though!

Ken

Thanks Roger and Mike

Thanks Ken, they are hard to find in this condition most are very worn down or broken.

Very nice old wrench knife Dimitri! Thanks for showing it.
Jim

Thanks for the compliment Jim!

Here is a little Catt. of mine, I have a couple and will post them periodically. McCallum is a family name as well so it has that appeal for me.

Nice knife!

This is an old Catt. that came in a group of knives, from a guy whose mother did volunteer work at a church thrift shop. All of the knives were left in the pockets of clothing donated to the church over a long period of time. I was lucky to be the first fella to cross paths with him at a Duck Decoy show back about 15 years ago. There was 15 to 20 knives in a plastic basket, I bought them all. This Catt was one of them. Octagon shaped bolsters with the thinnest Indian Trail bone slabs. Each side is the thickness of a dime. It's hard to imagine how this knife was pinned together without cracking the bone. This is one of my favorite knives. Barry

Barry, very nice and unusual knife,can't recall ever seeing another.

Put this jack in another Catt thread but I think it belonged here also,this one shows little use.

Great knife Barry and I believe a really old one. John beautiful bone on that jack!

John and Barry, great looking knives!!!

Barry, that swell center pen is a real beauty.

John, you have a beauty there as well.

Here's a fixed blade for the till............

Dimitri,
Nice knife, I always enjoy looking at a knife pattern I have never seen before.

Here's one I have had for a while. Catt Ovalhole packing knife.

So Charlie, what did you get out of that? Is Ovalhole packing simply a mathematical concept? I never did see areference to a company with that name.

I only read the short versions in the links. I didn't go to any of the sites.

Nice looking knife Greg, I especially like the jigged bone handles!

I have one with the black plastic handles

Charlie I have no idea, never paid any attention to the marking on the sheath, you might be on to something there

Thanks Dimitri! It is a vicious knife. Twas responsible for the near decapitation of my right hand ring finger.

Greg,

I just picked up a newer version with the rubber comp handle, same advert. Ovalhole Packing made valve and pump packing to seal valve stems, etc.
