Old Cattaraugus Rosewood

by Michael A Losicco

As I am seeing the knife with the old Cattaraugus handles posted Donna and I were thinking about how we found them. I had to go get mine and look it over again!!! I just shipped out the knives for the handles to Queen today.

    No, Mike, I can't. That would be a long drive - about 8 hrs. And our Kids will be returning to Texas that weekend so I better stay and see them off. If it was a normal weekend for me, I would love to come and stay over. I need to get more interested in Queen Cutlery.

    Derek could not make the trip but in the pictures you will see I am on the phone talking to him!! Donna has been by my side throughout all of this and wrote the story.

    Ken will you be coming to the Queen show??

    I love this story! Thank you Donna, Mike and Derek for preserving those last remnants of the iconic Cattaraugus brand. And for making a piece of that history available to us! You guys absolutely rock!

    I just reviewed the pics again and I am again saddened by the demise of this great cutlery factory. But glad that you guys are making something out of some of its history. I remain a great fan of Cattaraugus Knives.
