Comment by Ken Spielvogel on July 21, 2013 at 12:26: Here is a great Cattaraugus - one of my Favorite # 22379

Comment by Michael A Losicco on July 19, 2013 at 13:25: Here is one of the whittlers I spoke about. It is marked just CATTARAUGUS in an arch over CUTLERY Co. The construction is the same as Derek's F&L whittler and just like the Plumbers whittler we are having made. I really think that this knife is from around the same age as the 3 galvanic1882 pearls in the heading of this group!! It is 3 1/2" closed. Check out the etch on the main blade!!!

Comment by Ken Spielvogel on July 18, 2013 at 21:22: Yes, Jan - that knife is really growing on me. I purchased a few knives here in this past 2 weeks that are really "sweet" - they give me great pleasure just to own them.

Comment by Jan Carter on July 18, 2013 at 21:15: YAY, we may see those pearl beauties tomorrow

Ken,

I may be uselss in dating this one but I know it is sweet!

Comment by Michael A Losicco on July 16, 2013 at 7:56: I have a 2 pearl handled whittlers that are marked Cattaraugus Cutlery but do not have Little Valley on them. I think that they are earlier knives also and am not sure but one might be made in Germany. I will take pics and post them possibly on Friday.
