Cattaraugus Whitt L Kraft

Post by knifeaholic »

I recently picked up a quantity of these bags from an antique "picker" in Salamanca New York. An interesting piece of knife lore....used to package whittling kits that included the Cattaraugus "Whitt L Kraft" knife.

I knew about the Whitt L Kraft knives (and I own one) but until I saw these bags, I never knew that a whittler's kit had been sold by Cattaraugus.

BTW, does anyone know how I can get a copy of the KNIFE WORLD article that was published in 2005? about the Whitt L Kraft knives?

Thanks

Steve

Steve I think you can buy past issues direct from Knife World.

Hey Steve, as Stockman said you can order back issues. You just need to write them and see if there is still a copy available. I did a search over at KnifeWorld. The issue you are referring to is the October 2005 issue. The article is authored by Dennis Ellingsen.

Here is the link to the 2005 index:

Good Luck!
