All About Pocket Knives

Here is a picture of a few of the scout knives I found lying around in my drawer.

Also, I'm posting a picture of the text from Tint Chapman, inventor, one of the owners of Cattaraugus Cutlery, from the patent he applied for (circa 1914) with the Catt compass knives...and specifically how to use them -- VERY clever.

The little scout jr that I show actually has a compass that rotates freely, and is magnetized and and points pretty much correctly. Go figure.

Love to hear from anyone that knows more about these little gems...years in production, what box did they come in, original prices, any trivia appreciated.

PS My scout jr. master knife blade has almost no snap left...anyone know how to fix?

that is an awesome trio, and some interesting words in print..
welcome to the club, especially your associates there

Here is the drawing from the original patent that Tint Chapman supplied to the patent office approved November 3rd, 1914.
