Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
I will start by saying, I like knives in their original condition, if at all possible. This knife would not free up and snap, the scale was busted, and the tip of a blade was broken. It has been used and neglected. So, it gets a new start.
I am not an “ex”pert, nor even a “present”pert. I do like to work on knives.
I had some problems with the pivot pin; it will be replaced as soon as I get some different stock.

That turned out great!
It’s nice to see an old knife brought back to life.

Re: Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
This also one of my favorite things, dragging an old knife back from the grave. Turned out great. Wish it was in my pocket right now!!

Re: Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
Pretty neat, was the reason for dropping the secondary blade the broken tip?

Re: Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
Beautiful job Tony!
What kind of bone did you use? Did you jigged that and dye it yourself? It sure looks good!
I recently picked up a Cattaraugus Barlow #2159. The bone handles on mine are good but I think you're blades are a little fuller than mine. They have really good steel in them too, I have noticed that from a couple of Cattaraugus kitchen knives I have.
I see you didn't use the pen blade, if you don't have plans for it I would like to put it in my Cattaraugus Barlow because I think it's longer than my pen blade is.

Re: Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
Mr Wood, another triumph. That is a great looking knife now. Excellent work. Those stocks look like they would fill and be comfortable in the hand.
Re: Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
That'll make a nice carry, good work!
Re: Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
Thanks fellows, for taking the time to respond with a post. Appreciate the kind words. It truly is fun to salvage an old beater.
So do I

OC, thanks. resurrected. It rode in my pocket all day today. Needs an edge, but I enjoyed carrying it.OLDE CUTLER wrote:This also one of my favorite things, dragging an old knife back from the grave. Turned out great. Wish it was in my pocket right now!!
TF, yes. The broken tip, as well just wanting a single blade. Also, now it looks like I have a blade to trade with Dale.treefarmer wrote: Pretty neat, was the reason for dropping the secondary blade the broken tip?

Thank you, Sir. It fills the hand much better now, and has some good grip with the jigging.doglegg wrote:Mr Wood, another triumph. That is a great looking knife now. Excellent work. Those stocks look like they would fill and be comfortable in the hand.

Re: Revived Cattaraugut Barlow
Dale, I purchased this bone from a knife show. It is jigged and dyed already. I had scaled a fixed blade with it, and these pieces were drops from the end. I have another piece of this if you would like to have it.orvet wrote:Beautiful job Tony!

Your handles look great. I saw your post yesterday. This is a #2159 as well. The pen blade has the very tip broken, but can easily be reprofiled. You are welcome to it. I will trade it for one of those Schrade blades you are looking for.
As for the steel, I have not sharpened it yet. Hopefully it is good, and will hold an edge. Look forward to carrying this one in my rotation.
Thanks for the kind words. As another posted yesterday, this forum gives a lot of information, and motivation to embark on these journeys.

Thanks, WB. It has been riding happily in a pocket sheath since receiving the bone scales. We both smile.whitebuffalo58 wrote:A bone stag Barlow, that's tough to beat.
