2500 pages . . . unbelievable!

Gonna carry a grail knife for me, the Case Saddlehorn Wharncliffe Trapper in burnt antique green bone.

Beautiful knife Jeff. :thumbup:

And a lovely old Robeson HJ given to me by Duncan when we met up in Sheffield last year

Wonderful old HJ and nice horn too! :thumbup:

Carried these two today

Very nice pair sir. :thumbup:

In my watch pocket today - my Case XX red bone model 6263, closed length of 3 & 1/8 inches, 1965-69 era, in stainless:

I was thinking that this might make a nice gift knife to my son - for his wedding this coming Saturday.

Working on some stage rigging today, so brought along my uncle's WWII Camillus. Perfect for the job.

Great knife for #50,000. :thumbup:

I went with this Federal jack today. Sitting on an old survey book that my dad used.

Primble, that would be a great gift for your son! As you know my Daughter was married just a few weeks ago. I thought about gifting a traditional knife to my new son in law but didn't think he would appreciate it because he's a tactical fan. Maybe I should rethink that. I'm sure with time he'll come around!

Best wishes to you and your family!

No Sir! I don´t wanna loose the bet, it´s because of my honor now. But it´s getting monotonous, indeed. I think it will become a hard time soon. But I think it is ok when I´m over the "dead point".

Yeah my arrogance brought me that far and the Blade Forum knife is almost on the radar!!! :foot:

Thanks, Duane! I am going to leave it alone so it can continue to tell its story. I will just add to it.

Great looking barlow Gev. Any notion as to its age?

That old Cat is a beauty! I love seeing the old knives that were made or named after places in New York State.

I believe this one to be around 1930-1960. It is a #2159. I would welcome opinions ....Charlie?

Thanks, Gary!! I feel the same way. Such a magnificent area as you well know


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cattaraugus Cutlery Company building in Little Valley, New York in 2009

The Cattaraugus Cutlery Company began as the New York distribution company J.B.F. Champlin and Son, founded by John Champlin and his son Tint in 1882. The Champlins expanded into knife production, and along with William R. Case and his brothers, they formed Cattaraugus Cutlery in 1886, based in Little Valley. The company hired expert cutlers from Germany, England, and other U.S. manufacturers, to produce high quality cutlery. Admiral Byrd selected Cattaraugus knives to take on his expedition to the South Pole.

Over time, the Case family separated from Cattaraugus to form W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co., incorporated in 1905. Cattaraugus closed business in 1963. The building still stands in Little Valley, abandoned for decades and in an effectively unusable condition, with its roof partially collapsed.
