Cattaraugus was certainly quite a storied US cutler, from their 1906 "liner lock" Patent to their connection to Admiral Byrd!Thanks, JJ; I don't think I've heard the Catt survey story before!
Great photo Stuart!Happy Two Toothpicks Tuesday to all y'all. This BB Winchester 1924 has been hanging around for the past week or so and even joined me for a cocktail last night. I toted it and the L.L. Bean Fisherman to a local pond to see if it had been re-populated with more than frogs and damsel flies. It hadn't been.
Wonderful trio Rachel; your Catt pen is super cool!Today, I'm also carrying a Lambsfoot big-un and a cute little teeny-tiny Cattaraugus penknife in mother of pearl.
Your reservation is set. Love that GEC 44 and Case 6347.
Perfect Harvey; thank you!!! The covers on your Joseph Rogers Lamb are astounding; beautiful image too!
Wonderful shots of your fearsome foursome Gary; you have almost every outdoor activity covered with those beauties!Lambsfoot of the Week: 2017 horn Guardians lambsfoot (thanks, Jack):

Yeah! I was being torn between the Utica and the Colonial, but the Camco is kind of fascinating because it seems a lot smaller than the Utica but has an almost as long blade. The shield on the Colonial is beautiful to me, even though it's just a bit of sheet metal with the points bent over. Also, I have even fewer solidly built Colonials than Imperials. Maybe only two.I was going to vote for the Utica, but that long pull on the Camco!
Magnificent! That is what all Blood Red strives to be!
Oh, wow.... people around me at work are wondering why I keep laughing.... I can visualize a brief blizzard of foam....My eccentric uncle once ran out of shaving foam- nothing coming out, not even a hiss. He figured there must be a little left in there, and stuck one of those old triangular can openers into the can. There was a lot left in there, very briefly.
Here are some possibilities for tomorrow: Colonial, Camco, Utica.
He probably had a pretty good audience once he stumbled out of his trailer with with his geyser. He lived in an Avion trailer after his early retirement, and used to go on mass trips with other Avion owners.Oh, wow.... people around me at work are wondering why I keep laughing.... I can visualize a brief blizzard of foam....
If that had been captured on video, it would have gone viral immediately..
(don't try this at home, kids)
That's a different sort of Grohmann. That shield is a nice touch.
Amen brother Jeff!........I gave up the barbaric practice of scraping hair off my face.
Stuart, I’ve got an 870 Wingmaster 12 ga 28” MOD vent rib that I bought new in 1973 and I’ve got an 1100 LT20 with a 21” rifle slug barrel. I love Remington long guns.Thanks. The 1100 is from 1979 and is in very fine condition. When I got it, it had a 30" fixed FULL choke barrel, which is of little use to me. I put a new 28" vent rib barrel on it and got some Carlson chokes. Old school fixed up.
I agree.... that Case looks sleek... very nice set of jacks... something about a well balanced spear point just looks "right".As for today's carry, I think the Case on top has an excellent balance of the rugged and the debonair.
Well it’s Woodsday again and I’m carrying Rosewood! I’ve got my Wright’s Rosewood Bigun Lambsfoot and a dandy Miller Brothers Equal End Jack. Dang, I hope I look this good when I hit the 100 year old mark! The Miller Brothers Jack was a wonderful gift from my friend Stuart @Duckdog! I’m always thankful Stuart!
Great pic, Alan! I had to carry mine after seeing it. Sometimes my memory needs a jog.
