WOOD LORE CATTARAUGUS 225Q

a quick review. on a knife that's steeped in history and false myths .enjoy

[@mr_graves_]

My dad had a K-bar from his time in the military. I used it growing up, but it always felt...wrong somehow. Too light for it's size, too thin, didn't have enough weight to feel good in the hand. I never found a knife I really liked until I happened across on of these in an outpost. They had three hundred on it, way out of my price range, but when I picked it up it just felt perfect. Remembered the name and researched them a little more, and today I finally brought one home for 75 dollars. It's in beautiful shape, lots of blade left and the handle is tight as a drum. Absolutely not regretting my purchase thus far 👍

They are gorgeous blades if you find them in good shape

I love my vintage knives. I only have two. I’m a huge huge fan of stacked leather. I’m a little nostalgic.

[@tomritter493]

[@chrisnewport7826]

The shortage was so severe, that public knife donations were asked for.

[@tomritter493]

[@trollforge]

I had a knife very much like that, growing up.

[@tomritter493]

Ya .I think it was a popular blade design I see it alot on other styles

[@JohnAmes]

Awesome video my friend big 👍

[@tomritter493]

Thanks John

[@lifeofxyco7633]

It's a proper sportsman knife. I love it! Great for the woods, I think.

[@tomritter493]

It is but I find it really interesting it's billed as a camp SURVIVAL knife back in the 40s

[@lifeofxyco7633]

@@tomritter493 Yeah. Proper woods knife. Camp survival knife. You could survive with it. I could. Perfect. Hehe

[@shovelhead8]

Nice knife. Thank you for showing it to us, Tom. Sounds like you are really happy with it. I have a hand made knife of the same era that some one made. Stay safe and stay cool

[@tomritter493]

Dry nice I'd love to see it

Great review, thank you for addressing the ridiculous "crate opener" myth. I'm not even gonna mention the nails hammering idea, anybody who's worked carpentry knows you're bound to miss the nail now and then, that would have given a nice hole in the fist during war time.

[@tomritter493]

Thanks you . Ya I've. Issued a few times .being stupid with my knife .lol .the metal straping they use would really be hard pressed on a knife of any kind hope you subbed and welcome to the family

Thanks v great blade

[@OnTheRiver66]

Thanks Tom, for the history and review. I heard of that company. Great knife design, and that one saw a lot of use - I would love to know how it was used over the years and who used it.

[@tomritter493]

Welcome

[@tomritter493]

I'd love if they talked and the stories behind it wouldn't that be outstanding
