I agree. Doesn't a doctor's knife usually have a spatula blade? This appears to have a broken clip master blade and a spey blade, more like a trapper pattern.

I was thinking the same thing Dale, until I noticed in the picture the frame doesn't look straight on both sides like other doctor's knives I'm familiar with.
The sides look tapered, with the blade end bolster smaller than the cap end. It does have a cap bolster though, but curved, not straight/flat like a pill crusher.
The whole combination looks strange to me.
The blades look awkward in that frame. The pile side blade appears longer than the mark side (master) blade - very odd.

Blades are not correct in this. IF it is a Catt what would it have? A long Spear and spatula?
Is it even a legit Catt frame?? I can’t find one with a frame like it.
Thanks guys

Also the cap bolster is flat at the end like a pill crusher

That is the correct frame, right down to the unique front bolster, for a 22749 doctor's knife, depicted on page 72 of the Ritchie and Stewart Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. catalogue reprint. Knife should have a pen blade on the mark side and a spear blade on the pile side.
