Do any of you Catt gurus know if Cattaraugus made a single blade electrician’s knife like in the picture. I may have a chance to get this, but can’t find any info on a single blade version.
Thank you in advance,
John

Never seen one. I do have a UNION/KA BAR single, screwdriver only. Here's a catalog pic of the two blade Catt, #21087. Yours should be a 11087 if it has a number. It looks like it hasn't been altered. Good luck with it and let us know what you find. Happy New Year, J.O'.

If you don’t mind me asking, is there a model number on the back of the blade tang please?

Well, I decided that I liked it-A LOT. There’s no model number on the blade & the liner lock says “Patented/July 3 1906.” Not sure if the blade is a hair short or not. It has a pretty good tang stamp. The only issue on the scales is the tiny imperfection in the last picture. I put several pictures since there doesn’t seem to be a lot on these single blade versions, hopefully it will help someone else out.

Well I got it & I do like it a lot. I added pics to this thread. Mine doesn’t have a model number on it, but I am assuming from what you said that it’s a #11087. I don’t know when Catt started putting model numbers on there knives.

I have never seen a single blade electricians knife either. Is the blade sharpened the full length like a knife blade would be?

TSA safe. Drop that bad boy in your pocket and strip some wires when you fly with no fear of confiscation

I never even thought of that, but something tells me they would take it, well I would miss my flight before they would take it.

Mine is sharpened the full length, but not 100% sure that it came that way from the factory. It looks like it came that way, but I’m not the greatest at seeing everything.
