Re: Got Whittlers ?
I have been gone for the last two weeks taking care of my parents after they both had surgery.
I came home to a nice user Schrade-Walden 804 in the mail.
I will have to dig around and find a shield for it.
I think I have one somewhere.

Re: Got Whittlers ?
Hi, All:
First of all, I'v gone through the 12 pages of this thread a couple of times, and have enjoyed it thoroughly, but, have also decided that I don't know enough about knife types, to determine what qualifies as a Whittler. I have only two that I'm sure of. Both are J.A.Henckels Whittlers. One, I bought in the 1950 era, I carried and used it for many years, until a long gone friend picked it up from my workbench, and promptly broke off the tip of one of the blades. Well, I put it away for years, and didn't use it, until recently, when I got it out, ground the broken blade into a screwdriver, cleaned it up, and am enjoying it again. While it it was put away, around 1960, I tried to replace it, but couldn't find one with buffalo horn scales, and settled for one with Jigged bone scales. I never did get warmed up to the new one, and it's never been used. When I got it out today, after reading this thread, I found that it's so tight, and stiff, that I can't even get it open with my fingernails. I'll post pictures of them, and maybe the good folks of this Forum can tell me where to find information on classing knife types. Thanks, for sharing this long true tale.

Nice Justin. Here is one I picked up. Not I haven't been carrying mine like you do.
Re: Got Whittlers ?
Wow Kieth that thing is really nice. Great score.
Re: Got Whittlers ?

Re: Got Whittlers ?
Keith, WOW!!! Your Remington whittler is off the charts nice. Beautiful bone and very crisp, clear etch. Outstanding!
Re: Got Whittlers ?
Thanks Jerry. I appreciate the complement
Re: Got Whittlers ?
The knife had factory edges on it when I got it. Just had been stored incorrectly, as the blades had minor rust spots all over. I have since sharpened it. The rust on it now is from being carried. The knife had never been used or carried best i could tell. I have a weakness for the 80 pattern.espn77 wrote:Thanks. Your 80 looks to have very nice full blades.
Re: Got Whittlers ?
If your going to have a weakness that's a pretty good one to be weak with. I like it.
Re: Got Whittlers ?
Nice to see this thread brought back to life after being dormant for six years. Many fine knives posted here. I will add this Schrade made Craftsman 9488. One of my favorite patterns!

Espn - Thanks. That Remington of yours is beautiful: I can see why you do not carry it! I particularly like the shield on it, I have one older knife with that shield but it seems to be kind of unusual.

Re: Got Whittlers ?
Dang Greg, even being used that knife is way cool.
Re: Got Whittlers ?
I agree that Electric is a cool knife, Greg. I always like the little thumbnail cutouts. Extremely good condition for the age!
Here is a Schrade 836, or more correctly, the remains of one, with the shield that I like. I keep looking for a decent specimen, but they are hard to find. Folks must have used these knives up.
