All About Pocket Knives

I redid the pics for it, hopefully they look better... #46 ebony wood 5th anniversary.
What a lucky find!

I took a few pictures for a friend.............

Wow! now your speaking my language Boggs!
Those are shined up to perfection, not to mention great pics!

Awesome collection Jim; those are VERY nice!

boggs very impressive---HiPower

I asked them at the factory if they would be making more whalers...I think his name was Chris ,he said they are a very hard blade to grind. Thats why they haven't been making them. I love them.So far I have collected12 Elephants , Whalers and Sunfishes ,mostly GEC's. I'd trade all 28 mint Case knives I have for 6 mint Whalers. When I learn how to take good pics I'll post some pics here.

Love the Whalers! They have become my favorite pattern.
Lets see those whalers!

Is that Snakewood Caddyman? I really like the knife!

Are the blades on that Roughneck thick or thin?

The main blade is thick and the small clip blade is about half the thickness of the main blade.

I also love the whalers! Wish I had been collecting back in the day, man there were some really cool ones produced!

For sure! I’d like one of those jig bone. Those were sweet!

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

Woof...at this rate I guess I'm never gonna be able to afford another Whaler!

ya, I started to rationalize ... well, if I went to the rendezvous, by the time I paid for plane fair, hotel, means to get around, food and build that into the cost of the knife I'm really not paying that.....wait, I can't get this right now, thats $450 for a knife... ya almost got me...lol.

46 Muscle Bone.

Wow, that looks great Rusty! Where did you get that done?

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:

Larry that looks fabulous! Congrats on one beautiful knife!

Here's my honkin piece of hardware.

Hey Joe, I love it !
