Picked up this darlin' single blade Cattaraugus at the Pigeon Forge show.
Buffed pretty heavily but fair amount of blade left. Smooth walk, talk and half-stop.
Tang stamp is barely legible and no other markings. She will definitely see pocket time.

Can anyone provide any further information ?

You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

Nature abhors a vacuum, me I hate a dull knife.
