Another great old Catt

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.

Another great old Catt

Post by Forensic Jim »

Just picked this old Cattaraugus Jack knife up at our monthly club meeting. Traded two for one and yet I had to have it. Has a nick in the blade, but the brown bone handles are really nice. These blades have great snap and really walk and talk. I just polished it up with a little Ren Wax and put a drop of oil in the joints.

Great old Catt, Joe! Hey, that's why you posted it in this thread, huh? :o
That is a really nice size to carry for small everyday use. Pull out a couple more of those Little Valley knives in your stash, and keep this thread alive. That one is a real beauty!
