Cattaraugus Green Lizard Seven Day Set

Here is my Cattaraugus Green Lizard Seven Day Set I've slowly been acquiring & I didn't spend $1599 or best offer like the cheesy one that was on eBay awhile back. You will see a total of eight in the pic but I actually have one more which is different because it has the lizard on the blade rather than the scales. If you notice the top two are a much darker green & I think that is the difference in blade width because the lighter green ones have 5/8" wide blades while the darker green scaled ones have 6/8" blades. Now I will need to start cleaning these up & honing them. I may also have to look out for darker green ones since I think i have almost all light green ones. I have one that isn't shown because some moron decided to carve his/her initials on it which I think I can get out but it will take some work since they are a little deeper than usual.
I have to thank Jonathan aka ultrasoundguy2003 for sending me the link to the seven day box. This forum is all about helping out one another & w/o people like Jonathan & many more, this forum wouldn't be what it is today!
Thank you very much Jonathan. Yes, you actually see eight!

Thanks. When I got the darker green one I thought they made the coloring too strong but I got another dark green one & they're both 6/8" rather than the light green 5/8" ones.

This is the difference in the dark green scales & the light green, dark green being 6/8" light green being 5/8"

Nice work, Steve. I have a nice 5/8, lighter green one with the little green felt slip, which has Cattaraugus on the button snap.
I also have a pristine Green Lizard hone in the box with the stick 'injuns' dancing around with tomahawks. My 6/8+, is also dark green with the lizard on the blade. The tang is also very heavy and the grind, as well! I have another heavy blade, looking for some dark scales.
That box is spot-on for a Catt set!
Love them Lizards. :y You have a nice set! ;)

Thanks Tom
If I ever come across a dark set, I'll hook ya up. The than that, I'll be trying to get more dark ones if I can afford it. I'd love to get one of the hones for a decent price! There is a seven dat Cattaraugus set on the bay right now but they aren't Green Lizards & the box is the same!

Nice set Steve. Always liked the look of the Cattaraugus Lizard razor. You've done a nice job, and the box is giving me ideas for my own set box still in progress.
Congrats. Look like great shavers.

That's why you actually see eight in the pic. i get one more lighter green one & they'll all match or fix the scales on the one that are carved up. I do have another I think I did mention but it has the lizard on the blade instead of the scales & all these have the lizard on the scales.

In my opinion the Green Lizard is way under appreciated.
Nice collection.
I am fortunate to own one of each.
Rez honed up my dark green scaled 7/8" square tip in an exchange we did recently,....man oh man,
what an incredible shave. I' ve been meaning to ask if he tested it out himself.
Be a shame if he didn't.
