Catt hawk

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.

Great knife with the full blade but the etch puts it over the top.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

That's a very nice one! Is it just an optical illusion or is the handle fairly straight for a hawkbill?
