This review is from: Cattaragus Cutlery Co Catalog Reprint (Paperback)
Short slim volume about the Cattaraugus Cutlery Co with many illustrations of knives and razors. The value guide should be taken with a grain of salt like all knife value guides but it does help somewhat as to rarity. Good general background on the company just wish there was more, maybe in the 2nd edition.
