New pics - Cattaraugus -will this be the last winter?
These were forwarded by an unknown party to me.
It is a shame that this building is not on the list of historical building that are getting grants for restoration. Allowing it to die a slow and painful death does however serve to remind us that manufacturing knives on a larger scale is becoming scarce in America. This is the reason so many of us believe in buying USA when we can.

Alway so sad to see the passing of what was once an American Knife Company.

I sometimes think of how this could have been saved and utilized. An artisans work shop or maybe even a co-op of knife makers. Possibly as the place to hold the Blade show annually. So many ways that it did not have to suffer this fate. Just needed the necessary grants for basic restoration
