hard to obtain because the knifemaker is a little lazzy and work when he wants

Yeah...I know how you feel...I'm having similar problems myself!!

Beautiful knife by the way.

I've got the same problem with a guy who went off his meds and is now afraid we are all mad at him. He's hiding and we all told him its okay but he won't listen. A real shame because he is extremely talented.

There aren't that many knife makers in Belgium so he can probably afford to take his time.

you are on British forum ? if yes it's not the same knife maker and his reasons are others (to hard to translate for me)

I realize it is two different people with two different reasons. Waiting is still aggravating regardless of reasons.

the difference between EP. and O. his that O. doesn't take money before, only at delivery. EP. his (normaly) a professional not O.

this Cattaraugus 22029 came in the mail on Friday

Dan

Danno , nice old Catt.

Paul is that a caplifter/screwdriver blade on that jack?

Phil , yes a cap lifter screwdriver. thought it was interesting the pattern number isB342 , thanks

Great knives guys

danno50, I dont think I have ever seen that "serpintine" pattern on a Catt, Very cool!!
What is the OAL?

Marty

Marty, the closed length is 3 1/4", the overall length with the master blade open is just over 5 1/2", but I believe the master blade is 1/4" or so short. Paul, I really like that Shapleigh jack with the caplifter blade.

The 15th edition of the Price Guide to Collector Knives just calls it a serpentine jack and lists it at $300 in mint condition. It is only the second Cattaraugus I have and I have no idea how rare it is in that pattern or blade configuration. I have a Cattaraugus book on order which should be here any day.

Got a couple Bokers in the mail today...one is a beautiful USA Boker New Britain era cigar from Rangerbluedog (thanks Ricky)....and the other is a 8586 that has had a hard life from the looks of it...a first rate tackle box carry for sure..

(note the cool initials on the bolster of the cigar)...I like that sort of stuff on a knife..

Couple of nice ones, Greg.

Hey Phil_______take a look at the ""2011 Blade Forums Knife""____ I'm not a member,of that forum,but the knife looks very much,like the knife that Paul,has. The knife is to be made by, Great Eastern Cutlery, so it should be a very well made knife.

Hey Monk thanks for that info.

I'm a member but please don't tell anyone!

I'd withdraw my membership but they'd change me an exit fee.

Great looking knife.

Phil

Hey Greg,
Your photos make that ol' cigar look good!

Bokers don't need help to look good, they are just beautiful to start with....

this to their line up.
