For the purposes of this thread, "Antique" or "old" refers to any knife made by the original Cattaraugus Cutlery Company, until the doors were closed in 1963.

Please don't link to other sites about research that you are doing on your knife and please do any research about your Cattaruagus knife's originality outside of this thread.
Please don't post pictures or discuss other knife brands that you think might have been inspired by a Cattaraugus knife.
Of course, one can start your own thread or optionally try the Old Knives thread.

Pictures of your Cattaraugus knives, collections, and artifacts are welcomed. Other brands need to be posted elsewhere. Above all, keep it friendly. 😊

Mark and Primble...two GREAT people and forum members:thumbup:

I truly look forward to the new Catt house;):D

Have a great Thanksgiving guys:thumbup:
 
We had an old cat show up at our house 2 weeks before thanksgiving:



She has been in our guest bedroom ever since, while we figure out what to do with her (and while we treat her for a couple of medical conditions that the vet found when we had her checked out.) That brings us up to 4 cats in our house this Thanksgiving. 3 resident, plus this guest.

Oh, and to stay on topic - here are some knives:


Well, that's three knives, so here are two more cats for an even balance:


Sorry, I don't have any Cattaraugus Cutlery knives to share. :(
 
I am liking the change in the flow. Not that I could ever be tired of the old John Primble knives. I am looking forward to seeing more of the Catts and your great images.

Well done gentlemen. :thumbup:

I look forward to seeing the end result.

Beautiful additions.
 
I am kinda bonded to this reverse gunstock Catt.........for right now anyway. :eek:

At least you have furry Cats John - that is a nice start. ;):D I have two furry ones, so I guess that gives me 8 total Cats instead of six total Cats. :D
 
Feel kinda bad about stepping on your thread with cat pictures. How Internet of me. But she really did show up out of nowhere (stray, probably dumped by people who didn't want to pay vet bills since she needs special care) and is still here for Thanksgiving. So please forgive my cliché.

Does that say "Primble" on the tang of that Cat??? :eek::eek::eek::D

Maybe I will send you a bottle of super glue remover for Christmas. :D:D:eek:

I will find something to trade you out of that little beauty. ;):D ( here we go again :o )

No need to feel bad John - I like furry cats a lot. I was laughing at your post. :thumbup::D
 
This thread made me :D. Good on you Mark, and congrats to you Primble. Some wonderful examples already and I'm looking forward to seeing how your collection develops in 2015.
