Thank you, gents. I am ecstatic over that little Catt. ::super_happy:: I'm smiling from ear to ear like a Cheshire Cat! ::super_happy::
Floyd, I think I must be an exhibitionist because I do love showing off my knives. It's always nicer to show them to an appreciative audience. I appreciate your appreciation. :lol:

Who knew there was mail on Sunday, brought me a very nice Cattaraugus toenail 22929, full blades, been cleaned but edges not rounded, very nice Indian Trail bone. Was happy to obtain this one, most of this pattern seem to be very beat up.

The old saying, never open more than one blade at a time, you don’t have to worry with this knife. Thanks for the nice comments.

JKB, Nice one. This one came from Steve Pfeiffer in 2013. Hadn't taken part in much on AAPK for so long just wanted to post this along with JKB's outstanding old example.
