This makes three of these Catts that I can remember in this thread.Cattaraugus electrician's knife and Bull Nose
Among this pattern, this is the most elegant. I think.
That's a bit oddly shaped.

This pair today & a new addition from my random adventures yesterday...

, I agree. There is more stuff for catfish than bass & crappie in this box, although there was a little bit of everything) 
So for the random adventure yesterday, my dad & me went to go see about an estate sale we heard about from a friend of his. A little while later we learn his 80+ year old neighbor is a knife maker.
We come to find out his name is Robert Davis that is a member of the South Carolina Association of Knife Makers
He was happy to show us around his shop & telling us all about his process. Sorry y'all, I didn't even think of taking pics at the time
He even makes his own leather sheaths for each knife. He said his hands may be shaky now since his health isn't what it used to be, but he still enjoys working on his projects.
Long story short I came into possession of this fixed blade he made from wood from an old broken antique French dresser. Pics don't do this knife justice. The wood is absolutely stunning in person & feels great in the hand. The sheath has even been wet formed to the knife & "snaps" into place. You can actually feel it!
He was a great guy to hang out & talk with
I hope everyone is doing well, have a great Sunday y'all!

Swell center Sunday here.
Single spring two blade Schatt & Morgan and split back spring Ulster. The old Ulster whittler, age unknown to me, is still very snappy in blade action. Tang stamp, just visible to me, simply says Ulster Knife with no model number or other info. I have no idea of its age but the heavily pocket worn jigged bone suggest it has seen some years.
