Here are my 2 the top one is a custom made by a friend when he was making knives, Hobart from Binghamton. The other I think was made from an old Robeson knife, not sure though.

I wish I had more of these from NY companies and am always looking for them but they are harder to come by then knives!!!

Not old in the least, but very nice. I keep one of these on my keychain and it has come in handy several times.

I just got this one from a dealer thats been teasing me with it for several years now. He had it in his display cabinet for a long time, but would never price it. Every time i asked him, he would tell me he was'nt ready to sell it yet. I guess I finally wore him down. Its the only one like it I've ever seen. Western States Cutlery Company.

I've been hunting for a cattaraugus knife opener for over 20 years now, and thanks to a very kind AAPK member David Anthony, I have one now. He sent me this and I am totally blown away. It has Mother of pearl handles, nickle silver bolsters and a arched stamp. CATTARAUGUS in the arch, with CUTLERY CO. LITTLE VALLEY N Y in two straight lines. Absolutely Beautiful. Thank you so much David.

Seems most who like pocket knives, like old people kids and animals.

This is why I like this forum. Nice job David.

Another interesting thread. I have this old advertising knife. I never thought it was a knife pick, because of the advertising, Keystone Varnish I felt it was for opening paint cans. The blade is marked Miller Bros Meriden U.S.A. It has been stored with a small collection of folding spatulas.

Great little treasure there, knife-nut.
Nice one, Barry.

Nice Ulster. I,m still hunting for the Cattaraugus.that looks like a fishing reel wrench, and a pearl handle Remington. Maybe one of these years.
