Catskill Knife Co. New York

Post by Miller Bro's »

Any one else have one of these?

A first for me, hard to find mark I would think.

I see John posted one awhile back, maybe he will see this and post a picture of his knife :)

That knife, and all other (very few) Catskill marked knives that I have seen were made by Imperial.

Goin's has them listed simply as: Catskill Knife Co., N.Y. - 1930-1940

Solid bolsters and cover pins; I looks like an attempt to raise the bar in a new line of knives.

Just saw this thread, here are the two that I have. Mostly, I have seen the Catskill's in the small teardrop pattern (like the one on the left), rarely in any other pattern. These two appear to be Imperial made. Don't see many of them anymore.

"Catskill Knife Co. Camillus 1930's Camillus Cutlery Co. contract brand."

I found that information here:
https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... hp?t=86215

Levine says Camillus brand also.
Per Goin's: Catskill Knife Co., N.Y. - 1930-1940.

The knife of Miller Bros is definitely an Imperial. No doubt in my mind.
