And a well made whittler I was always unsure of because of the feeble stamps and not particularly well hafted bone.
A shank bone from the local market?

Even after that beating it's solid well made whittler at 3 3/4".

Thanks so much, guys.

Thank you for the compliment, woowalker. I can assure you that there are collections held by some guys here that would make my knives look quite modest. I just like to show mine off. :lol:

Some REALLY nice whittlers being shown off here. I have always liked whittlers, but unfortunately I only have one, this 3 3/8" Nelson Knife Co. The back of the master blade is stamped Germany. (But not Solingen)

Wow, that's beautiful! ::tu:: I don't think I've ever seen a wood shadow pattern whittler before, and I've never heard of Nelson. That's a great find!

Thanks, I found it in a dollar junk box at the flea market a while back. The handles were gone and it had no bolsters, and looking at the liners, there were no holes for pinning the handles on. So it must have either been a tip bolster design or a shadow. I rehandled it as shadow with coca bola and is now an EDC. I also could not find out anything about Nelson Knife Co. Germany except in the Ritchie and Stewart collector book I have it just states Nelson Knife c1894. I find it hard to believe this was made c1894. Must be a different company. It is a neat little whittler.

Just realized that the only whittler I currently own is this Hen & Rooster. That's not good. Have to get more. ::tu::

bdev - you may have only one, but that one is very nice!

There are a lot of fine whittlers posted.

Here is a Hibbard Spencer Bartlett that I recently got. I do not know much about that brand though I gather that it was a hardware store that had knives made by various companies. This knife looks to me as if it came from the Olbertz factory in Germany, but I have not found any supporting or contradicting information.

When I was looking through an old thread on Hibbard Spencer Bartlett trying to find some info I did find a photo of the very knife that I now own. I guess us traditional knife lovers really are a small world!

Thanks. I just remembered that I do have another. Just got this one the other day.
Camillus 1047.

P.S. Not a true whittler pattern but Camillus calls it a whittler.
