Quote Dave:
"I really like the sm serp stock! That master blade it has is really neat!"

I think you are referring to the second picture you posted. The pattern is a Small Serpentine(aka "Dogleg") Jack which in Case lingo is called a "Peanut".
There are Serpentine Stock knives of this size but the frame is a different shape from the Jack.
Very nice knives and as always, great pictures.

kj,
thanks for the clarification! I'm still learning and sometimes the classification / terminology is confusing to me.

Dave, does your equal end have a catch bit at the pen blade?

Joe,
I was able to shoot a photo of the catch bit today on my #22779.

[FRJ]

That's perfect, Dave.
I just got this pearl 22793N today and it is right at 3 inches and has no catch bit. My 22769 has a catch bit like your knife.
So the pearl is longer than both knives, yet has a shorter blade. Also accounting for some blade loss on the pearl, but it would never have a blade as long as the other two because it doesn't have the magic catch bit.

"CATCH BIT" FOR ACCESSSORY OF THE YEAR!!!

That pearl 22793N is lovely! By the way, I have a hard time photographing pearl and having the photo come out decent, for some reason. I'm going to need to do some more experimenting with taking pictures of it.

I just got around to looking at this thread; I love those old Catt's. Does anyone know where I can look at old catalog pages?

Hey Tongueriver, I use this book below for most all my Catts

Here's a sweet little hump back whittler. 3 inches long.
Thanks for looking.

[JohnR]

Joe, that is a sweet one!

Found this old scout at a flea market this past weekend, well used but still a tight snappy knife.

[FRJ]

Thanks, John. Nice old scout you scored there.

[peanut740]

Joe that is a dandy whittler.

[FRJ]

It sure is Roger. Thank you.

Thanks, Dan.

Picked up this boys knife 3 1/4", gorgeous bone on this one. Knife has seen little use and despite some cleaning still shows some original blade grind marks.

[OLDE CUTLER]

You are right, that is gorgeous bone. That is a nice one!

Good looking knife, handles are excellent, never get tired of looking at those.

[FRJ]

That is a very handsome knife, John.
Thanks for posting it here.

[galvanic1882]

Great knife John!!!

[JohnR]

Thank you Old Cutler, Bill, Joe, Mike, appreciate it. The bone really impressed me on this one, first Catt with worm groove bone I've found for the collection.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Roger, that's the best. What a beauty!

A beautiful group of knives, Barry.
Love the bolsters and profile of the second one down. Oh Ya!
And great picture.

Would you consider putting them in the Whittler thread?

[RalphAlsip]

Roger, another fine example in amazing condition.
