I picked up this really nice cattaraugus 22529 3 7/16'' dogleg jack. Beautiful condition with factory edge and stunning bone. Those sharp and crisp swedges and grinds are so good, all with a beautiful mirror finish. I don't know much about catts but this sure didn't seem like one of the cobbled ones, and I did ask several knowledgeable people and they said it looked good. I figure it's pre-ww2 at least. Does anybody know a range in which this could have been made?

I found the pattern listed in a 1983 price guide. I think it's worth a bit more nowadays.

I was going to PM you regarding this knife but your inbox is full.

Not really sure how old this knife is, but I landed a John Primble with coined liners today. Lighting was terrible but a 14 hour day today didn’t leave me many options.

Most likely a 1950's knife Jim.

Seems familiar to one of these, from the '54 schrade walden catalog.

I thought it looked very Schrade-ish, too . . . very nice!

Campbellclanman · Jan 28, 2020

Yup - thats a Schrade all right - and what a beauty it is too 315!

Charlie- just left a Crater as wide as the Pacific with the Bomb he dropped in his last Post- WOW ! gorgeous Knives!

Some wonderful Cattaraugus models from TheChunk91 and mike Berkovitch, and a nice Primble from 315.
Two stunning Schrade folders from waynorth, and what a treat to see the Barlow salesman sample model which clearly shows the original factory blade grinds and finish.

Just got this yesterday. ca.1948 Queen #10 in Rogers bone. Factory edges and great snap to both blades.

TheChunk91 · Jan 28, 2020

Here's an oldie with some mighty fine bone and nice character.

black mamba · Jan 28, 2020

SteveC, that looks like the deepest, sharpest and freshest Rogers bone I've seen, super nice!
Paul T., lovely old Schrade jigging, almost corn-cob-esque!

Thanks ! It's very similar to the bone on my four line Camillus #12

That's very cool! Looks like Centre City to me, you agree? Or do you see something different ? I just had cataract surgery so anything is possible for me

I think I can almost make out an "A" and a "L" after CENTR- like CENTRAL CITY. Each word looks like it's in side of a larger, elongated "C"- like "C C"

rockman0 · Jan 30, 2020

You may be right Matk, it's possible those are not ovals, I can't make out the completion of either oval, I like C C better, cooler than ovals, thanks :thumbsup:

Picked up this nice Ulster, I believe it's old enough for this thread. You can faintly make out a blade etch,unfortunately the price sticker was stuck to the blade where that dark stain is in the blade. I believe it stained the blade there.

David, that’s some tremendous looking bone on that knife. Nice score :thumbsup:

Thanks, the covers are what caught my eye, I was being shown some other knives, but this was in another box to the side. I said can I look at that one,and the guy said sure. Then I opened it and it had such full blades and no wobble,and its probably less than a half an inch thick. All that combined was to much lol.
