If you find yourself fighting with your knife you have had a bad day.

...both of my grandfathers served in "the war" and myself and generation and parents were only blessed with very little from thier time in-service and so when i found the cattaraugus that i still have, in an antique shope for the right price i was geeked to have been able to find a solid "something" that i could keep and pass on as a reference and reminder of that portion of our history. (...i love to have heard that they were given the compliment of be called a multi-tool for practicality sake with your video/post, the humor and respect fits right along as well. As in "go with your own best judgement."...) Thanks for the post in any case and absolutely appreciated.

Slices, Dices, and Circumcises. Perfect knife for a Bris.

When I hear "Bris" I think of "Bris Milah" which triggers visions of this: i.imgflip.com/1lx8md.jpg This KZfaq channel is becoming triggering AF.

Your frustration at the "common myths" is palpable, LOL! Good stuff, Mike!

When I see or hear the word "palpable" I think "palpate" and get triggered. Get PTSD flashbacks to Navy physicals...some grinning CWO4 Navy PA with large hands and hairy knuckles saying "Now turn your head and cough" or slipping on a latex glove, lubing up the index finger and saying, "You might experience some mild discomfort". Leaping Gebbus, BattleChemist, there is nothing to LOL about here.

@@BattleChemist Nah, not always. When I did my first reenlistment physical on a Destroyer in Norfolk the Corpsman had a visiting female LT doctor there getting sickcall training for a week. I was hungover, hadn't done any morning ablutions except to brush my teeth. Had no idea that a Digital Rectal Exam was part of the physical. She told me to drop trou and bend over and as a newly minted E-6 I obeyed. She finger-waved me and I grunted painfully when she met resistance. She pulled out and the most awful stench permeated sickbay. The index finger of her white latex glove was a fudge covered mess and was about powerful enough to draw flies. The Corpsman had a smirk on his face. The lady doctor did not. The rest of the physical was over quickly and I went on to serve 26 years. But I always made sure I did a courtesy poop before a physical thereafter. It's what a gentleman does.

Very informative video. I have used a knife as a pry bar. Hated it. Kinda prefer prybars for prying . Who knew.

So, it can slice, dice make Julienne fries, circumcise, emasculate...and you made the disclaimer about it being used as a pry bar and hammer. How about its use for respiratory distress in the case of severe congestion? Just shout "Cattaraugus" several times in rapid succession at full volume and bring up phlegm, catarrh and lung oysters. The multiplicity of a knife's usage mustn't be shorted. Otherwise, nicely done Mr. Williamson.

I've got one of these things. Very well worn. Looks a bit worse than the one in your video. Wore it while free-diving for abolones in California. Got it from my pappy back in the '60s.

Damn, i think i actually have a left handed original sheath.
@petesheppard1709 Жыл бұрын
I never thought of a sheath as being 'handed'; figured one placed it where space was available. The first time I saw 'Cattaraugus', I thought it was the start of a gag, not a legit knife maker.

On the more serious side, Wes Johnson - Watch Wes Work here on KZfaq - did a polish up and replacement of the handle leather on a beater example of this model knife which he uses as a general purpose field knife. In fact, he replaced the leather disks twice, as he wasn't satisfied with his first attempt. Being a technically competent person, Wes did not abuse the knife, nor pull any of the myriad of dumb shit that too many numbskulls put up on KZfaq.
