Utica Cattle Knife

[Luna Knife]

Here is a mid century knife made in by Utica knife Co in New York.  The main blade is very worn and has a weak snap but I carry it often.  The spey blade and awl snap like an alligator.  carbon steel

Jim Dandy was a dog collar factory.  I like to carry it if I know I will be playing guitar because the backside can be used as a slide as it is as smooth as glass.

Great looking old knife.   From what I've read, the first documented case of someone playing slide guitar was a man using a pocketknife on the strings.

not every knife can do it.  only those with a smooth underside.

I saw a guy do that with a knife live and I asked him about it afterwards.  This was at Goober Mcools in Portales NM in 1995.  I was playing in the house band at the time.

The tone is fatter than a bottleneck or metal pipe
