Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
Re: Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
here is a easy way to replace the MOP.
i used 2 pack epoxy resin. to replace the missing mop on this whittler.(not a catt )
MOP is easy to work into shape. once fixed in place. i use a dremel rotary tool with a fine grit. grinding wheel.
then a polishing buffer wheel.

I hope I'm not bringing an old post up. But I live 25 miles from Little Valley, NY. I just bought this old Cattaraugus two blade Jack from an old neighbor man. I just love this knife, and I'm tempted to make this my EDC.

That is a beauty. Great pick up. Congrats.

Beautiful knife. I love the old Catts! So many beautiful knives. So much rich history. We need a Cattaraugus Collectors subforum!

I'm tempted to take my metal detector over to the old plant. Probably been worked a lot, but You just never know. Sometimes they find a pop can and don't recheck the spot. If I even found an old shield I'd be thrilled.

Cattaraugus "The Better Quality Knife" Most companies would advertise they're the best quality.

Wow knifegnome that Catt fixed blade is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Here is a pic of the Catts I have. I’m looking for replacement blades for the gunstock jack. Pattern number is 22429 and is 3 3/4” closed. If anyone has a better example of a gunstock jack please post pics so we know what the blade profiles are supposed to look like. Thanks Steve B.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Did Cattaraugus import knives from Germany?
I asked because this one just looks Germanic to me.

It does to me also Charlie.The o in Co.is underlined also,which is also indicative of German made.

That "o" in "Co" was one of the "looks" to which I was referring.
It's not a for sure dead giveaway, but it is "indicative", as you said.

That's a wonderful collection of early Catt tang stamps!!!
The one you just picked up is an amazing find, I love it!
Here's an old Catt Hawkbill that is marked with an early stamp.

Picked up this Cattaraugus Radio Electricians knife, unused, I'm thinking it's early as the lock has a July 3rd 1906 Pat date.Was still in storage grease.
Re: Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
Nice find!

I have seen others of this pattern with a shield and without the patent date so with the patent date I'm thinking around WW1.
