Thanks a lot guys. Love these big old whittlers.

Terrific knife Joe,just super.

Joe that is a fantastic Whittler! I love split back Whittlers and your Chattaraugus Whittler is a fine specimen. Congratulations on a very nice addition to your collection. Lloyd

Yes, it is a very nice 2-SPRING whittler (not a true "split back" whittler). However, in order to keep the peace, I'm willing to call it a "split back" even though technically it's not that. (No need to go down that road again...I'm still picking the fly$#!+ out of my pepper from the last time we got into this discussion! )

Very nice and hefty.

Thanks for your comments guys.

Great big old hefty whittler Joe ... You can whittle a tree truck with that big boy

Thanks Lee.

That is a great looking knife!!!

Nice clean Cat!

Thank you, Mason and Wayne.

Picked up a Catt Stainless Floater today with the original sheath for $6.Not perfect but in decent shape.Figured I'd post it along with some of my other Catts.

I'll follow QTCut5's lead and add: A whittler is a 2 spring 3 blade knife in which the master blade bears on both springs. So "split backspring whittler" is redundant as well as incorrect for this knife, which is a fine example of a Great knife.

Here's a couple of pics of my Cats; a 225Q and a scout with the installed compass.

Thanks for the comments and pictures, guys.

I really like that jigged bone one, k7k. Cool pattern
