Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
I like them all and especially the Keen Cutter. Whittlers are a great pattern.

How about a Cattaraugus 32649 whittler with a punch blade? The round shield means it has a punch blade.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
I already posted this knife in the vintage MOP thread but thought it belonged here as well because the pattern is commonly referred to as a 5 blade whittler.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Nice Ones everybody. I need to get pictures of the last few whittlers I've added to the collection after i get them cleaned up. This is the most interesting one in a long time.
A small Brooks & Crooks wharncliffe whittler. It has some damage, nail nick broken out and a hairline crack in the pearl and pepper spots but is unused.

Great one MB, the images are so clear. The marching scene is a fantastic one to captured in that old Celluloid.
Also, IH that is really fine. The finish on the secondary blades is beautiful to see close up, thanks.
Greedy, that five blade is stunning

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Here are a couple of old horn handled whittlers. The first one is a Sta-Sharp that is marked Sta-Sharp/S.R.& Co. It's the only Sta-Sharp that I've seen that doesn't really look like a Camillus made knife. The second one is an Ulster whittler, quite similar but a 3 5/8" pattern.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Great looking knives guys!
I went back to my roots and whittlers were my favorite knives. I just picked up two , one from Ray at Sweetwater and one from Mike at Collectors knives
I will post pics of both when they get here.

Well used . I thought at first covers were ivory,but probably bone.
Both split spring,with tapered shim? Only vintage I think I have.
