Box/twine cutters..my girlfriend's uncle gave them to me because we were bs'n about my knife collection the last time we visited.. they came from his mill...nice gesture on his part...I think they're really cool myself... they're razor sharp and seem very well made...

The twine cutters are cool. I have used them in the past working in a warehouse tying up palletized loads. They are handy indeed.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I just looked up the Handy Twine Knife Company, still in business after 100 years. The ring knives are still available for $29.95 per dozen!
Thanks for showing this, Ryan. ::tu::

I was at a little satellite store in Garland, Texas my first year in Bible college. Mostly in the back room receiving orders and putting on shelves to be picked up but also sold in the paint dept. (aisle) and tires and batteries. It was a good job. They were big back then.

The only Case sign I've ever seen that has a depiction of a 6207 Mini Trapper on it. ::ds::

Here are a couple of CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY items that I very recently acquired.
The first item is a CATTARAUGUS DUPLEX RAZOR HONE.
The stone measures 2" X 5 1/2" X 1/2"
The top of the box is pretty worn, but CATTARAUGUS is still visible, barely.
This will display nicely.
The second item is in my next post.

Here's the second item.
It's a CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knife store display.
I believe the spring was used to hold the pocket knife that was on display, in place.
In this case, it would've been a, according to the label, pattern #23222 pocket knife.
It's in very good condition and it will display nicely.
It measures 2 3/4" X 4 5/8" X 2 3/4."
