Odd Cattaraugus blades

Odd Cattaraugus blades

Post by GClaxon »

Here are a couple of odd ones from the factory pile.
The bottom one looks like some kind of punch and dont know what pattern knife it goes in.
The one on the top looks like an opener missing the peg but the elongated tang doesnt fit anything i have or seen. It looks similar to veterinarian blades ive seen.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The top blade is a can opener blade which has not had the pin installed and the other is a punch or awl blade for harness jacks or scout/utility knives. Some stockman knives also had the punch blades.

Right but this punch blade you cant close in a knife because its rounded thats why Im trying to find out if its a specialty blade maybe custom ordered or maybe its a type thats unfinished

What pattern would that opener go in? Like I said it dosent work in any Catt scout I have or seen. Never have seen one with that extended tang
