How do you get the blades on those old knives so shiny and keep them that way?Dave,
Catskill Knife Co is a new one on me. It's always great to learn of a new Cutlery or tang stamp from the same area. Here are a few more from old to newer:

Above is an easy open jack with the sword brand tang on front of the master and four line Camillus Cutlery on the back.

This one's a smooth bone trapper #717, not sure of the age on this one but you don't find many in bone.
