Scagel: I posted this knife in the Robeson thread on September 12. Do you consider it "Indian Trail" ? Odd that the pattern stamp is in 2 lines. They are great knives, one of my favorites in the collection. Was it expensive? I think I gave $45 for mine quite a while ago. Thanks. J.O'

Scagel: Those bones look like they could have been jigged by the same person! BTW, Great name! Any relation to the master? J.O'.

Given Cattaraugus Cutlery Company's close advertising association to the American Indians I have always considered their worm groove bone to be justifiably called Indian Trail bone. Indian Trail bone on a Catt knife and worm groove on any other knife. Just the way I think about it. Beutiful bone no matter what you call it. Catts in the top pic.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Cannot substantiate this, but I suspect the “Worm Groove” name for this bone came from the fact that the floor of the grooves usually has a segmented appearance, like the segmented body of an earthworm.
