I need help with this one 2159

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.

I need help with this one 2159

Post by CarMan »

Got this knife off eBay for $12. When looking up the 2159 the only manufacturer I could find with this number stamped on the front side was Cattaraugus. I feel pretty certain that the blade is a real Catt 2159 blade, but the only 2159 Catts I saw were a barlow pattern. I am by far NO expert on being able to see if a knife has been messed with, but I don’t see anything obvious saying that this knife has had the blade changed. So my questions are: is this a real Cattaraugus knife or did I buy a franken-knife put together with pieces? I appreciate any & all help. Also the scales appear to be bone.
Thank you as always,
John

A Catt 2159 is a Barlow. Not sure about that one? Could be cobbled? ::shrug:: Good luck with it. J.O'.
