Sta-Sharp 4 blade Cattle knife, decent shape except someone modified the spey blade into another punch. Pretty sure made by Camillus.

Scott, I love that knife so much. You seem to have gotten a near-perfect master blade on yours, too. That baby's gonna hold a fine edge for you, an excellent EDC choice. ::woot::

JKB, an outstanding pair of Catts! ::tu:: You should bring those over to the Matching Pairs thread. ::nod::

It appears to be the same knife, not just the same pattern. And it's a good one! ::tu::

Those are some great looking Remingtons. Ive got 2 Remington Jr. cattleman, 3 3/8". One is acorn shield with slant bolsters and sparkling green handles
with the circle tangstamp.The other one I bought as a rebuilder as it had a broken spring, broken red plastic handles and straight line Remington tang stamp. I made a new spring, rehandled in coca bola and repinned. But both of mine have been heavily resharpened and are not nearly as nice as the ones you pictured. I think the cattleman knives are one of the neatest patterns. I have others that have the spiral awl blades.
