No whittling with this one, that curve in the edge would make it bite deep, fast.

All are Ivory. The checkered J Wood ( looks to be another Sheffield other than J Rodgers) and the two Joseph Rodgers. All are made in honor of Joseph Paxton horticulturalist and architect of the 1851 Crystal Palace . I would guess the pattern was commissioned shortly thereafter.

I couldn't fit the three opened and showing their three blades as whittlers, so I scanned their secondary blades separately.
