All the others posted are beauties too. Thanks to all for posting their knives, great thread.
Here are a few of mine.
Corso, about the Cattaraugus knife, I think it was made for cockfighting, the saw was used to take off or shorten the spurs I believe. The knife is early before Cattaraugus started making their own knives. Many say the mark indicates that it was made in Germany but I'm not totally convinced of that. I have a few marked this way, without Little Valley NY on them. German knives usually, not always, have steel pivot pins and this one does not. Most of the others I have don't have steel pins either. I just got one from ebay last night with the same stamping and as soon as I get it I'll post pictures of it.
