I just finished up a rehandle of this old 4 and 1/2 inch closed Cattaraugus 11849 which is defined as a lockback hunter. When I got it, there was no handle material on it at all. I had a couple of pieces of stag that would fit, so I went with that. Kind of a neat old lockblade knife.

Did you get liner lock too work? Does it have snap now?

Yes, that is the one. It has a lot of wear in the joint and spring. And the way the split scale locks work always causes extra friction that effects the snap. So even though it does not have a lot of snap, it is still a neat old knife. I found the pattern number 11849 in one of my books that appears to be correct for this. The stag pieces I had were an almost perfect fit. I did some straightening to the brass liner lock and peened it a little to lengthen it to tighten things up and it works pretty good. Sharpened up nicely with the diamond file and is now in my pocket.
Thanks Steve.
