Re: The whittler page
Nice one. Great color and condition. Doesn't look at least 20 years old either. Thanks for the spring shot, nice to see that wedge in there and the flush everything.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 2:18 pm Gorgeous Geo, Very nice.
I went beyond my usual preferences and picked up a Schrade whittler. Such a well made knife. Compares easily to Schatt and Morgan.
Thanks tvic, missed your post until I had already posted this one, but added thanks for you anyway.

Re: The whittler page
Can someone define a whittler for a new guy?

Re: The whittler page
Hmmm, that's a good one. I don't know the precise definition, but usually 3 blade pattern, various styles, and two springs or three or a split spring. The secondary blades, or small blades, usually work on one or the other spring. The main works off both. I suggest going through this thread and others for whittlers and just see all the configurations. That will give you a pretty good idea. And you can google it, there you can get definitions and probably diagrams or examples

Re: The whittler page
Thanks Ivory, that's actually what led me to the question. So many different styles under the same title. I'm still trying to learn what differentiates a Trapper from a whittler from a stockman from a cattle knife. Thought I had a Barlow figured until I saw the Boker with no bolster. I'm lost but enjoying the journey.

Re: The whittler page
I could be very wrong here...but as I understand it, a cattle knife has an equal end frame, and a stockman is serpentine.RedRaiderRick wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 2:03 am I'm still trying to learn what differentiates a Trapper from a whittler from a stockman from a cattle knife.
As for creating a signature (bear in mind that I browse AAPK on a phone): tap your user name, go to "user control panel," and then go to "profile." You'll see an option to edit your signature.
Good to hear you're enjoying the journey. It's a heck of a lot of fun, isn't it?

Re: The whittler page
Beautiful pair chickenman, I like a good Case Classic. You have some above average stag and love that honey brown bone. Nice pair, thanks for putting something up on the old thread.
Here's the two I had one me today and the Schrade Cut Co whittler is one of my faves from Schrade.

Re: The whittler page
I think I read somewhere that a true Whittler has a coping blade. Hope this helps!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: The whittler page
This is my only Whittler with three springs. It makes the knife fatter & heavier than a "split-backspring" Whittler, but there's no need to crink any blade.
