WHALERS
Re: WHALERS
Here are mine. I like that the Desert Ironwood one has a burled look. I think it is kind of unique.

Re: WHALERS

Re: WHALERS
Wow, that looks great Rusty! Where did you get that done?
Re: WHALERS
http://www.engravingextraordinare.com/ I was looking for a while to see about getting scroll work done on a knife and could not decide. I ended up getting two whalers when they first came out and thought OK let's try it. I was more than pleased with the end result.

I ended up with an extra Desert Ironwood #46 Whaler. I mailed it off and 4 months later, I got this gem back. Mammoth Ivory with superb fluted bolsters. Here is a few pictures:

Re: WHALERS
Just happened to check my email at the right time today. Gunstock Jacks had 5 or 6 Whalers that were NOS. I wasn’t fast enough to get an ironwood but did score a muscle bone. Can’t wait to see it and post it.

Re: WHALERS
Looking over this Whaler I noticed a mark on the main blade, looks allot like a Rockwell hardness test mark to me, any thoughts on this ?

I saw one for sale on eBay over the last few weeks and the seller had the same thing on his and that’s what he said it was. I have had 5 of these and can’t remember any of them having that, but they probably did and I just didn’t notice.
Edit: well shut my mouth, in my own picture above there is a divot from a Rockwell place in the same spot.

Re: WHALERS
Mark, I see that...my old eyes overlooked it. It's nice to know they test their blades, wonder what the hardness is ?
