Re: The whittler page
Beautiful knives Unk and Zach. Has that Aerial been rehandled Unk ? Reason I ask,I have an Aerial farmers jack I had rehandled in ebony because the celluloid started to gas.

Re: The whittler page
Here's an interesting one I bought several years ago because I had the itch and it was cheap (yes, I know. I'm a hypocrite) They called it a Congress Whittler.

Re: The whittler page
Hi Carmillus,
I bought the Aerial off e-bay a few years ago. Typically you see those Aerials in celluloid, but I liked the cocobolo on this one so I bought it. As far as I can tell, the patina - dents, scuffs, etc on the wood and the bar shield look consistent with the age of rest of the knife. The handle material and bar shield looks consistent with the time period - 1913 to early 1950s. I never really considered that it was re-handled, but I guess it could have been. Sometime after I bought this one, I saw an identical ebony one on e-bay, but I didn't win it.
The short answer is I don't know for sure, but my opinion is that I think the handles are original.
I like that little wharncliff - almost a hawkbill - blade Aerial used on some of their whittlers. Schrade later put one on their 44 OT.

Re: The whittler page
Jerry, that is in fact a congress whittler. I started to say it's one of my favorite patterns but have to admit I never met a whittler I didn't like, so ........jerryd6818 wrote:Here's an interesting one I bought several years ago because I had the itch and it was cheap (yes, I know.

Larry - that is a mighty nice group of Case 91s. I really like the second from left with the long pull!
Beautiful bone on that Keystone, Ivoryman. Here is on with a similar main blade.

Thanks for laying them out together side by side in the picture. It's interesting and educational to see the progression in blade grinds.

Carmillus that's the one you bid on. I thought you guys said that the sleeveboard had tapered bback springs so I was sort of surprised to see that the equal end had a spacer.carrmillus wrote:......greg, I really like that Camillus!!!!!.................gsmith7158 wrote:Here are 3 little whittlers I've acquired recently.
