<p>The American Museum of Cutlery in the Village of Cattaraugus highlights an industry that produced axes, adzes, knives and plows for early pioneers in and around Cattaraugus County and which, though smaller, survives today. The American Museum of Cutlery celebrates the histories of past, present, and future manufacturers and bring to life these histories by way of accumulating written, oral and photographic archives as well as examples of the cutlers’ works. The Museum intends to establish itself as an important research and educational facility and serve as the premier guardian of all of America’s edged tool and weapon manufacturing history for future generations.</p>
<p>The location of this museum is no coincidence. Within a 50 mile radius of Cattaraugus, approximately 150 different cutlery companies existed during nearly a 200 year period in our nation’s history. The location of 9 Main Street, is where knives were offered for sale when the building was constructed in 1888.</p>

<p><span class="font-size-5" style="color: #ff0000;">In this map of a very small area, how many names do you recognize as being related to knives?</span></p>

<div><br></br><span>The Officers, Directors, Staff, and Members of the NKCA, sincerely thank Smoky Mountain Knife Works / Kevin Pipes for giving our collection of cutlery a home these past seven years.

<div><span>The Board of Directors may have found us an exciting new home, but we will not know all the details until a little later. Once permament arrangements have been made, the new location and the "Grand Opening" date will be announced. </span></div>
