All About Pocket Knives

Most of you guys have something like this, a pile of knives laying on the back of your bench waiting for a donor, parts, or an idea. This was one of those. I bought it at the fleamarket out of a 1 dollar box a year ago and put it in the pile hoping to find a blade for it. Nothing materialized, so yesterday I took it up and decided to just make a replacement for the broken master blade. Since both of the blades are marked Cattaraugus, it will not lose its identity by replacing one blade. I believe this is a 22279, 3 1/2" OAL, even though neither blade is stamped. I bought it because the original bone is in really nice shape. Apart and cleaned up Blank cut out with pull roughed in The 1095 really took a razor edge from the Lansky Drug back into the EDC world.

Hey, that turned out nice!

Excellent work, OC. I can see why you would want to fix that one.

Sweet resto, OC. Nice job on the new blade...looks practically original.

MAN... yes sir!

That turned out GREAT!

Raised from the dead!

Great job and a beautiful old knife!

You are a true craftsman! I love to see the blades that you make.

Yes sir ! Fine job .

It's a whole new ballgame!
Nice job, OC.
Great work on the blade.

Thanks for all the comments. I just thought it was worth the effort to rehab it.

Great craftmanship and a good looking knife

OC, you are a master. Wonderful work.

Clip blade with some 'belly' to it. Reminds me of a PAL cattle knife.

Thanks. I try to make the blade the max that will fit into the bladewell to allow for future wear and sharpening. You probably noticed that I messed up and forgot to add the choil to the blade.
