Looking for an old set of Cattaraugus blades?
I know I am a week behind posting about these blades, but my internet service has been offline at home since last Tuesday. We are going crazy. My son, middle daughter and I am at my office today (Sunday afternoon). They are big WOW players and have their weekly raids shortly.
I saw these blades last week before the auction ended and thought it would be cool to add them to the ol’ collection. Needless to say, it is hard to buy online with you are offline. My guess is they sold to a knife maker.
It was a set of elephant toenail blades. I agree with the seller that they look like Catt blades.
How often can you find toenail blades that haven’t been tang stamped or drilled for the pin and are unsharpened, literally.
If you have ever wondered what an honestly full masterblade looks like- here is the fullest of full. Don’t you just love to see how it bows (bulges) out near the tip. You won’t find many used toenails with truly full blades, except for every now and then.

Could be the perfect blades to make a fake.I doubt they have been heat treated since they are not punched or stamped.Put what ever you want on them.

The eBay seller said he bought them from the late Frank Buster, who told him they came from the Catt factory after it closed.

I would believe that.
