Heck, I'll be the first to comment on this. Guys this is GOOD stuff. To be able to trace a knife back to its patent filing is what collecting and knife history is all about! Not to mention it being Tint Champlin and Cattaraugus. Then to have an authentic knife to back it up for us all to enjoy. See other pics in this Album.
