Cattaraugus "The Better Quality Knife" Most companies would advertise they're the best quality.

Wow knifegnome that Catt fixed blade is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Here is a pic of the Catts I have. I’m looking for replacement blades for the gunstock jack. Pattern number is 22429 and is 3 3/4” closed. If anyone has a better example of a gunstock jack please post pics so we know what the blade profiles are supposed to look like. Thanks Steve B.

Did Cattaraugus import knives from Germany?

I asked because this one just looks Germanic to me.

It does to me also Charlie.The o in Co.is underlined also,which is also indicative of German made.

That "o" in "Co" was one of the "looks" to which I was referring.

It's not a for sure dead giveaway, but it is "indicative", as you said.

Thanks Charlie for posting the auction. I missed the listing till you posted it. I am very happy to have gotten this one. I have 5 others marked this way and this one will be a great addition to the group!

Here are pictures of the Catt just talked about, sorry it took so long to post pictures. Also some pics of the others that don't have LVNY marked on them. I am so happy to have gotten this one.

Thanks again Charlie. Mike

That's a wonderful collection of early Catt tang stamps!!!
The one you just picked up is an amazing find, I love it!

Here's an old Catt Hawkbill that is marked with an early stamp.

Picked up this Cattaraugus Radio Electricians knife, unused, I'm thinking it's early as the lock has a July 3rd 1906 Pat date.Was still in storage grease.

Nice find!

That's what I'm thinking Lee, thank you all for the comments.

I have seen others of this pattern with a shield and without the patent date so with the patent date I'm thinking around WW1.

Picked up this nice pearl whittler recently.Etched "Warranted H L Bailey".

Another nice one, Roger.
Nice strong etch and really nice pearl.

Nice one Roger, great etch on it.

Nice piece of pearl Roger. I love the color and fire in it. Nice knife too. ___Dave

Great knife Roger glad you got it.

Nice knife but very cool etch Roger

Thanks guys.Got it on Ebay a few days ago, for what I thought was cheap.I don't know what people were looking at,but it is a great little knife.In my experience the fancy etched Catts are older knives.Easily pre WWI.

I agree Roger almost went after it myself, it’s an oldie

i allso picked up a pearl whittler.
alas no etching though.

Here’s a little cattaraugus for this thread . Rare version junior scout with pearl handles . Blade etched Cattaraugus Scout Junior

Thanks for looking
Mike
