Cool knife🤙 Fistful of goodness.
I signed up here in 2008, but never posted. Just read on some of the other subforums. It was nine years later that I quit carrying "modern" folders, and went back to my traditional pocket knives, which led to my finding this subforum.
Hope to see you post more.

Greg, I sure hope I don't wear them out!

I noticed your HSB Whittler yesterday. Did not recall seeing it before, but sure looks fine.

If everybody carried a Leatherman, and always had a stout fixed blade close, there might be fewer broken pocket knife blades on feebay. "Okay, Grandpa"

Anyway, just scraped a few cobwebs out of my head to remember getting the Cattaraugus Q225. Early in the '80s living in Camden Co Missouri, I bought a toolbox filled with old tools at an estate auction. The knife was in the bottom. All I did was put a razor edge on it and make a cardboard and duct tape sheath, then kept it as a toolbox/truck knife.
I restored it forty years later. I don't know how Catt made their steel, but it might be the best knife steel of any I own. It is my car knife now.

Perfect weather for my Barbour coat. Sadly, Mrs. Fleschwund hates it. Says it smells bad. I guess it's the Otter Wax.
I also put it on the black hat in the other picture, because I I don't have a Barbour hood.

Good looking knives and coat. Our coat closet smells like oilskin. I keep an outback trading company vest in the closet. Oiled coats and such are great

I'd bet the Micro saves you some trips to the toolbox in the back room, Paul.

Rub some spit on it, and wipe it on your pants for sanitation purposes first🤙

It does at that Jeff, I looked inside the handles and this one was manufactured in 1999, for 27 years old, it's hard to beat and there are many pocket tools out there but the ole Micro has stood the test of time :) :thumbsup:
