Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Here are a few old Keen Kutter whittlers I dug out. I'm hoping that my picture taking abilities have improved enough to show these knive's beauty.
The pictures do enlarge.

Oops, looks like I need a little improvement on my photographic technique for pearl.

msteele6, holy smokes, that is a batch of beauties. I realy like the swell centre with the square bolsters and the spear master blade and ebony handles in the first photo.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Thanks for the kind words MB and Danno. Danno, I love that swell center pattern myself, however, a confession, it's not marked Keen Kutter but rather Simmons Hardware.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Here is a Friedmann & Lauterjung 4" closed whittler. The knife is really sleek with the sunk in joints. The crimped bolsters remind me of a big whittler made by Remington. No cracks or chips in the ebony even after all these years and use. Someone took care of this knife for sure.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Here is the one I got
Possibly 1953-1954 according to Schrade catalogs of these years.
Prop wood handles (never understood if it's real wood or what kind of wood)
Great knives in this thread, my favorite is the H Boker gunstock whittler on page 1.
