This is a Vintage, much harder to find, 1/4” shorter than the 4-blade D 2589 3-blade version CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY CO. Model No. C2589 BSA #1122 “Whitt-L-Kraft” Official Boy Scouts of America 3-Blade Scout Knife. I believe Cattaraugus was the 5th knife maker that was authorized to make a knife for the BSA. This knife, the Junior version of the Official Whitt-L-Kraft Boy Scouts of America knife as it only has two (2) cutting blades and only one (1) tool. The main blade is a barely even touched and unsharpened carbon steel spear point with a long nail pull. According to Cattaraugus this blade was for coarser work. The front face is pretty clean but the rear face has two readily visible clusters of rusting.Stamped on the front tang is CATTARAUGUS (in an arch)(over) CUTLERY CO. (over) WALDEN. Stamped on the rear tang is the model number of C2589. The blade still retains most of its original factory mirror polish and it’s original factory edge.The other cutting blade is an unused and unsharpened carbon steel coping blade with a common nail pull. Cattaraugus said this blade was for finer work. Both faces are pretty clean less some blade and liner scuffs. It still retains its original factory mirror polish and it’s original factory edge. On the other end of the frame is the only tool blade and it’s a carbon steel hollow chisel blade with a common nail pull. Cattaraugus said this blade was for extra fine close in work. The outside face is clean and polished up well but the interior face has quite a few scuffs. All three (3) blades still have good to excellent plus open and close snap. The knife has a nice set of light to medium brown jigged bone stag scales. Overall they’re in good condition but there is one small chip missing on the very bottom of the rear scale. Other than that there are no other cracks, splits or missing chips. There is a brightly polished nickel silver 8-sided shield inlaid in the front scale. Stamped on it is the Fleur de lis design with the Eagle with its wings spread within it and BE PREPARED stamped beneath that. The stamping is deep, clear and very legible with little wear. There is a notch in the top of the front scale where the thumb stud rests when the combo blade is closed. There’s a shallow easy open on top of the rear scale that allows for easier access to the nail pull on the hollow chisel blade. There are three polished nickel silver handle pins in each scale. The knife has polished nickel silver rounded bolsters and theyre free of any dents or dings. The knife has brightly polished brass liners. The knife has two (2) steel back springs and both are free of any cracks or breaks and both continue to perform the functions they were designed to perform. This great vintage Cattaraugus Model No. C2589 Whitt-L-Kraft is an official Boy Scouts of America pocket knife and is 3 1/2” in length. Even with the small missing chip it’s still a nice specimen.
