Those are great!
Thanks for showing them, definitely thinking just these were given away and not the whole set of tools now that I see yours

I'm really surprised none of you guys have looked at this one and commented on it. No Cat love here?

Dave I saw this when you first posted it and it is a great looking knife. I am not a Catt guy and because of their propensity to be re-cobbled and counterfeited I am always hesitant to comment on them since I really don't know much about them. But just looking at her I would name her Lucille.

That is a beautiful old dogleg Catt, Dave! Very interesting bone handles, I really like the lighter colour and worm groove jigging on the pile side.

Lucille, as in the redhead, Lucille Ball? I like it! The other Lucille is the famous BB King black Gibson ES335 guitar, which I don't think fits.
Dan,
Exactly! This is what attracted me to this knife.

Negan executes those who get in his way with his weapon of choice, Lucille. With the barrel end wrapped in barbed wire, Lucille is the iconic baseball bat that Negan wields to not only intimidate others, but eliminate them as well. As seen in AMC’s hit TV show, The Walking Dead.
Funny how my mind works.

Catt. Found in junk store a few weeks back. 3 1/2" closed. Fairly rough condition, purchased for a EDC knife. I probably over paid, thinking it would clean up it was so crudy I missed all of the blade corrosion. No pattern number,
only master blade tang stamped. Probably close to the end of Cattaraugus Cutlery Co.

Maybe someone can help me out with this one, it's an electricians knife but every other one I have found like this either doesn't have the etching on the flat head blade or has a shield and a bail! Is this an early one?? It does have the Pat on the lock! It's my first Catt
Older knives are like women, they are beautiful, pricey, and rarely do you find the good ones!

Re: Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
The only Cattaraugus in my collection, a 3000R, if memory serves. The shield side cover is missing a fragment and is loose. Would I be committing a cardinal sin if I re-glued the cover? What glue would y'all recommend?
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar.
Re: Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
truck, I think it would be fine to glue the piece back on especially if you can get a good fit. Options, after cleaning area with isopropyl alcohol, would be epoxy or super glue type adhesive and not much of either. Hopefully others will offer advice.
Here's a Cattaraugus whittler I got recently. 3 5/8"
Thanks for looking.

Re: Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
Truck a little glue and you will be good to go! Like Joe said and in my experience the surface brass liner must be very clean for good long term adhesion to work. I would very lightly sand the brass and clean with alcohol or acetone.
Joe that is a fantastic Cattaragus whittler Love the bone jigging. Looks like nature produced that bone handle surface. I would love to find a wharnecliffe Whittler as nice as this one. Lloyd

FRJ and 1890, Those are both really nice knives. ___Dave
Re: Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
Nice knives Joe and J1890 ... as I have said before something about wharncliffe blades is very appealing (and for others interested in wharncliffes see the thread devoted to them)... Joe - a wharncliife whittler is indeed special and sweet bone with that classic worm groove jigging seen on many Cattaraugus knives.... J1890 - I really like the look of pocket worn bone which is quite nice on that knife - someone was quite proud to carry that knife at some point in its history ....
