Haha! I'm loving these old Catts Mr P. Just finished your New York Knife thread for the third time. Thank you for all the history.

I like what appears to be a very soft satin finish on the bolster. Maybe the lighting?

Couple new to me barlows for the pile, been after a nice example of the Taylors forever, not sure the handle material, I think some type of ebony.

This one I have been chasing for a long time as I try and complete my BF knives. Today it finally came to me and I am very grateful to a wonderful member here. Thank you KnifePneumonia such a generous gift. Your kindness humbles me.

A Schrade Cut. Co. (S.C. Co. Walden) that was a rust bucket when I got it about 8 years back. Cleaned it up and she still has much authority in her snaps. I always wonder about these old knives when I get them. I think this one might have been left in someone's old metal tackle box. I didn't want to try to make it look too fancy. This knife would still do some hard work.

Nice job! I have one like it, but just haven't gotten around to cleaning it up yet. The blades on mine look like someone went to work on them with a bench grinder, but it can be made into a nice user with a little work. It still has some good years left in it yet.
