Back home!

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.

Back home!

Post by galvanic1882 »

I owned this knife for years then I sold it about 5 years ago because I found a mint one. I just got it back and am glad it’s home. The etch is clearer than the picture shows was hard to photograph.

Nice piece!

If I'm not mistaken, Catt pioneered what later became the linerlock--correct?
