All About Pocket Knives

A little late to the party, but that is one beautiful old Catt Mark!

That Yukon Liner Lock and the (Jumbo?) Sleeveboard are two outstanding knives in my book! Thanks for posting them, I'll be drooling for days . . .

Hey 1967redrider, Yes Sir I call it a Jumbo 1/2 Whittler. Others may call it just a big sleeveboard. I kinda enjoy giving "names" to old knives as it helps me to remember them. I sent my late Grandpa a knife to evaluate for me about 15yrs ago & all he told me was that it was "Double Ugly". hahahaha

The Rope knife had no markings anywhere on it & it did have Thick bone handles & a very thin bolster w/ steel pins. We came to the conclusion it was a Japan WW2 Era knife. There was not as many pictures on the net back then or info so I just now googled it to find a similar picture for you. It was Ugly looking...lol

Kindest Regards,
Mark

Are these Congress 3 blade whittlers fairly common? I don't see them when "out and about" but have notuced a couple in this forum.

nice knife, i have not seen a congress like that before. but would like one

Congratulations—nice find Ike They are not common compared to the standard non Congress spilt back whittler. Roy Humenick did an SFO with GEC for one a couple of years ago for his American Whittler web site. It was a GEC pattern #13. In fact he wrote a very nice article about Congress pattern knives and also briefly mentions Congress whittlers in this OKCA newsletter article Feb. 2017 on page 8 here http://www.oregonknifeclub.org/Newsletter%201702.pdf

Here is another Congress whittler tale by the same author you might find interesting reading from a OKCA newsletter from 2005 (My Lucky Knife) http://www.oregonknifeclub.org/Newsletter%200503.pdf

Thanks Richard!
Thanks Lloyd and thanks for the interesting reading. I am not really a collector of congress pattern and other than a couple of Bokers I didnt really remember having seen this whittler pattern b4 at the time I picked up this Catt.

Recently picked up this small Cattaraugus pearl doctor's knife.Mint,unused with a couple specks on it.

That is a beautiful little knife, Roger. Nice catch!

I just picked up this rather worn Catt marked 22639. I can’t find many other examples of this model. Does anyone have any information?
