Thirteen Cool Catt's

The Cattaraugus Cutlery Company was started by John Champlin and his son Tint in 1882. It was first incorporated under the name J.B.F. Champlin and Son as a wholesale distribution company based in Little Valley, New York. The business proved to be a successful endeavor, and it soon branched into a knife production company named Cattaraugus.

Thirteen Cool Catt's

Post by Ridgegrass »

Nothing to do today so I was "curating". Thought I'd share these with you Catt collectors. Any body want to guess pattern numbers by vertical columns? Left, Middle Right. For reference, the big ebony jack at the bottom of the middle column is 4-1/8" closed.

I thought I might have something like your knives. couldn't find anything and had t stop looking.
Those two bone covered barehead jacks, with bowtie shield and spear and clip are really nice knives.
Old knives. Will you, at some time, give the model number on them if they have one.
Very nice knives you have.

Is that top right knife a swell-center jack? Awesome group of Catts! ::tu::

Sure I'll give the pattern numbers. Let's see how the responses go for a few days. REDRIDER: Hint: It's not a jack at all. :D
