Yankee Whittler
Re: Yankee Whittler
I am relieved that mine finally showed up and I am very happy with it. A very nice knife in every way.
Thanks to Ken and Roger.
I had an Ebony covered one so I got the jigged bone this time. It sure is nice.

John and Joe you guys did a wonderful job with the photos. My pair arrived today too, but I won't even attempt to post pics of them after seeing how well you two did. Suffice it to say I'm very pleased with both of mine. They are super knives.

Re: Yankee Whittler
Reading the posts here i can actually feel the enthusiasm that this knife is delivering. Makes it hard to resist.

Might the current Maher & Grosh also be bringing out the 2 blade version ? With the same handles they would make a royal 'set'. And those of us who love 'slender' will have to have one.

KJ,
I like the path you are on here!
Roger - Ken....Could be the next available knife right out of the chute...I'm in for one of each with the two blades!

Those are beautiful knives, John. I really like the blade etches. Of course, I really like everything about the blades!

Re: Yankee Whittler
Mine also arrived on Monday 12/11/17 They are gorgeous. Thank you Roger & Ken.
That is, they arrived after their little trip through the Bermuda Postal Triangle.
Their voyage is listed below on my USPS Tracking History.

Re: Yankee Whittler
This is an excellent development! Having CF&CE the bone and cocobolo whittlers this week/weekend, determining which one I am going to end up carrying has proven to be a difficult decision! What is undeniable is that the workmanship, F&F on these knives is outstanding and that they are a pair of beauties!peanut740 wrote:It will be awhile before they make that pattern,but when they do there will be a 2 blade.We already have the book marks made for it.
Here's a pic of the bone version from my knife-dump photo yesterday:
Roger, the felt bag that shipped with my cocobolo knife has begun fraying at the corner by the drawstring openings - is there a way I can order one in this style to replace it? I can probably put a stitch in the current one and still use it for carrying knives but I'd like a "clean" one just in case. Let me know where to send the check!

Re: Yankee Whittler
Look here what showed up in my mailbox today!
Apparently there were only a few of these Whittlers done with the smooth Red Bone and I was fortunate to grab one up!
I love this pattern. Thank you Roger and Ken!

Am I not on a mailing list or something?? Nice knife but I'm anticipating howls of disappointment from those of us who had no idea it even existed.Chase wrote:Look here what showed up in my mailbox today!

Re: Yankee Whittler
It's not what you fellas think....I am nobody special and neither were these knives. There just happen to have been a few left over that the manufacturer threw some smooth red bone on.
I have bought one of every knife Roger and Ken has produced and I will continue to do so as long as they have them made. Might be why I was able to get one. I am not a huge fan of the red bone, however, I do love the Whittler pattern.

Re: Yankee Whittler
I think it looks GREAT with the smooth red bone but i know it would not be possible to convince you to trade it. I am sure it has special significance to you and of all folks here, you deserve it.

Re: Yankee Whittler
Tom, very nice! If I remember right Roger told me there were 5 of the red bone made with leftover parts. I got one also but will have to wait until I'm home with some daylight to take pictures.
These Yankee Whittler's are definitely my favorite knife of 2017.
