Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963

The Cattaraugus Cutlery Company was started by John Champlin and his son Tint in 1882. It was first incorporated under the name J.B.F. Champlin and Son as a wholesale distribution company based in Little Valley, New York. The business proved to be a successful endeavor, and it soon branched into a knife production company named Cattaraugus.

Here it is after a sweet re-handle by Herb in antique pearl Kirinite, (first 3 pics). We were striving to have replacement covers similar in appearance to the originals. I'm not big on shields, so I chose not to include one on the new covers. My pics didn't capture the beauty of the new covers very well--may try again tomorrow in different lighting.

Thanks for looking,

Wow, he did a great job on that knife! Gorgeous!
Hi Reverand:
Yes, a masterful job. I'm very pleased with it, as with the Catt you did for me in burl walnut--will share that one soon.
