Old Cattle Knives
This is a very nice pattern of knife to carry. It is not quite as bulky as a scout/utility knife in the pocket yet it still has several blades to use.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
I thirst for education today, Dimitri. What makes this a Cattleman's Knife? To me it just looks like a Stockman with a "straight" or "cigar" frame and a potpourri of blades.
I'm still trying to figure out all these patterns so I don't embarrass myself more than I usually do.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
I think these are all cattle knives. They came from UNION STOCK YARDS CHICAGO.

These were all made by H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Re: Old Cattle Knives
Here is a small 3" Schatt & Morgan stockman. I guess you could call it a "starter" cattle knife or a “calf” knife. Does anyone know if other companies made small stock knives?

Re: Old Cattle Knives
Some nice knives showing up here!
Here is a Robeson 3 1/2" 632846 equal-end cattle knife......
followed by a 3 7/16" 632717 Eureka PocketEze cattle knife.
I think a "Cattle Knife" should have at least one of the following blades: A spey, a punch or a sheepfoot.
Here are two equal-end, double-ended two blade cattle knives. They both have a spey as the second blade.
First is a Terrier, 1910 - 1916, 3 1/2" 243633.......
followed by an unnumbered Terrier, 1910 - 1916, 3 1/4" .
These two Terriers are about as close to mint as a near one hundred year old knife can be.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
And mine has neither. I think Charlie is right and my knife is an equal end jack. I will correct this as I do have a few real cattle knives.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
FRJ, I wasn't criticizing your knife. I was just setting up the two Terrier double-ended jacks or Bullheads, as cattle knives.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
Understood, Charlie. But what you said got me thinking about the knife I entered and I realized I didn't post a cattle knife and I needed to correct the post. Thank you.
So, here are some old cattle knives.
I sure like these Imperials. Does anyone know who made the smaller bone covered knife?
You guys sure have some nice knives.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
I thought I would post two pages from the 1903 Schatt & Morgan catalog showing their cattle and stockman knives. Page 34 indicates that their cattle knife has the same blade configuration and the Excelsior and was supplied in pearl also. There were two models of the stockman, premium and western. I have never seen the western pattern in real life. Check out that swedge grind on the western blades.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
That is an interesting knife Paul. I was in on that auction. It's a beauty. I thought it was unique in that the nail nick on the big clip blade is on the back side. Great pick up, beautiful bone handles, and a nifty box too.paulsvintage wrote: great knives guys ...

Hal, many of the 4 blade cattle pattern has the pull on the back side. To
me a left hand pull. I don't know if that is what they are called officially.
