I just got this Cattaraugus Hunting Knife in and finished up getting it the way I like it, so I toted it on my walk this morning. I added my Carpenters Whittler to my pocket. 😊
I have a lot of information on Catt knives around the house, but, not much on the fixed blades. I get the feeling it was likely made in the 1940's or 1950's.
Regardless, I was happy to add it to my Catt collection.

Yesterday I missed out posting anything because I went on a trip with my grandson, son, and daughter-in-law. My grandson is all into trains right now and we took him to Versailles, where there is a railroad museum and passenger train rides. We took the ride in the air conditioned car, since the temps are back in the nineties again.

Pictured is the locomotive where we stopped on the 90 minute ride and an old trestle (no longer in service) , as well as some of the warehouses of the Wild Turkey Bourbon distillery. On the opposite side of the trestle, there is a bungee jumping station and we watched some of the dare devils jump off of it. 🙀🙈

Finally ............ my grandson showing me his new die-cast locomotive that I purchased for him in the gift shop. 😊

I like that Cattaraugus Hunting Knife! I am told by someone who has more knowledge than me that it was actually made by Kinfolks. Lots of companies made knives for other companies. John

Yikes! Hope things loosen up Mike. Even if you can shoot, you can still grab a beer and harass the guys! It’s required actually.

Encountered cows foraging in the woods (thats a first) and another lot of cows in the most bizzare behaviour ever gathered around a plinth all with there heads inwards trying to touch it like some kind of weird cult ritual.

Any cowboys on here can explain it? 🤔 😆

I suspect something like this is going on:

I think the color has gradually gotten lighter on this one since it was first dyed. I wonder if the dye moves around or migrates deeper down into the bone over time. Has any one every noticed their dyed knives changing over time?

I can confirm that dye can and does wear away. As I carry most of my knives in slips, the insides can become stained matching the covers. It seems to happen more quickly with some knives than it does others. My red bone Case Trapper for example stained its leather slip rather quickly. I carried the knife loose in the pocket for about a year before recently moving it to the slip. So perhaps leather being so porous had something to with it.
