Cattaragus pocket knife 22259

The Cattaraugus Cutlery Company was started by John Champlin and his son Tint in 1882. It was first incorporated under the name J.B.F. Champlin and Son as a wholesale distribution company based in Little Valley, New York. The business proved to be a successful endeavor, and it soon branched into a knife production company named Cattaraugus.

Cattaragus pocket knife 22259

Post by AHFOX »

I have a Cattaragus #22259 pocket knife that was retrieved from a lake in Florida. The bone scales are inngreat shape ,but both blades are either broken or rusted off. Any idea how to find blade replacements or is this just junk and ready for the trash can???

Finding a knife with trashed scales but good blades might be difficult to find. Finding random blades that would fit might be even more difficult. ::nod::

Someone might have the same piece with cracked or broken bones or a missing shield. I'd never throw a relic away. JMHO. J.O'.
