What pattern Tested Whittler is it?

[rigwelder]

Well i stumbled across this auction towards the end, bid and won it! Well the second knife pictured is a Tested whittler, possibly even a Bradford or older. Well my books are in Arkansas and i'm in northeast Pa. Does anybody know the pattern number or got a better picture of one too look at?
Just guessing i'd say shes between 3 3/8 to 3 3/4 inches long. I emailed them,,they didnt know how long but they said the handles had no breaks, blades snapped good and just needed a good cleaning!

Looks like it could be a 45 pattern?

[rigwelder]

Yes it does,,,but its clearly a whittler and not a cattle pattern. Mayby shes older than tested,,,because i doubt if the knife was monkey'd with. They'd of cleaned her up. Anyway its something like a cigar,equal end or cattle style whittler.
I'm hopeing that pointy second blade ends up being a punch blade.

Yes it is a 45 whittler pattern with split back construction. Case did make the 45 in a whittler configuration and it is a RARE bird.

I believe that Sargent's book shows it somewhere.

Thanks Steve,
Would you agree that its probably a Tested? And i blew the picture up and the pointed blade does appear to be a punch,,which would make since in a cattle-whittler.

Probably Tested could be Bradford

Thats what i was thinking. Odds are its a tested. Darn thing even has a bomb shield.
