Vintage Whittler Knives

[Duffer]

Thought I would wake this thread back up with this stag handled HSB & Co. 3.75 inch Whittler.

[doglegg]

Wow Duffer, that is a wake up call indeed. Age of that old beauty?

[Dinadan]

Great old HSB, Lloyd. I really like the main blade with the long pull and the swedge and the overall shape! This thread deserved a wake up call.

[luckydog64]

Nice stag Duffer wonder what company made that knife? Here is an old catt pen whittler.

[Duffer]

Thanks doglegg, Mel and luckydog for your nice comments on my stag Whittler! I would like to know approximately the date or era of production. I think it is certanly pre WWII and probably post WWI. I think probable makers would be Schrade, Walden, Empire or Ulster? Thanks again

Nice Catt luckydog! The Indian trail or worm groove jigged bone handles are wonderful

[KAW]

Lloyd... glad you had an opportunity to bump up the thread... this is one of my favorite patterns & always enjoy seeing some new activity... those stag handles show all the clues of being someone's favorite EDC for a pretty long time... and who could blame them...

luckydog64... I really like the color of the bone on that catt... very knice!

[LongBlade]

Nice big ol HSB Whittler Lloyd ... not often you see a clip blade on a whittler!!

LD64 - nice Catt ... their knives had some of the nicest bone !!!

Great thread with great knives. Here is a R7766 whittler, Remington did all they could do to this knife. Stag handles, crimped bolsters, milled liners and 4 1/2 inches long. Even in its condition it's one of my favorites. In 1928, $24 a dozen.

[doglegg]

Great ole knife ESPN, and all the embellishments.

[peanut740]

Nice stag Keith.

Keith, Great Knife I’ll take a dozen at that price

[LongBlade]

Keith - Beautiful stag whittler ... that stag is awesome is awesome but the knife is nice all the way around !!

[Twhite]

Here are my whittlers 2 Western, 1 IXL and 1-1/2 Cattaraugus. The half is just waiting on me to rehandle back to the intended MOP.

Great wakeup call, Lloyd, lovely stag! And very nice follow ups luckydog64, espn77 and Twhite!

[Dinadan]

Beautiful stag on that Remington, Espn. Very nice knife all around.

That pen looks good, Luckydog. Great to find one that old in that good of shape.

Cool old stuff there, Twhite. We need a photo when you get that whittler back together.

Here's an oldie but a goody I picked up not long ago. Case Bros. Little Valley N.Y.

[jlw257]

Greg, very nice

[FRJ]

A beautiful whittler there, Greg.
It's nice to know that great knives of that era are still around and that yours is in a safe place.

[LongBlade]

Great ol’ whittler Greg .. not only because it is a Case Bros but that pattern of whittler which I understand is called a “balloon whittler” is also rare... in fact same pattern of Empire whittler you got from me ... I always knew this pattern was different but only recently saw another of the same pattern where I learned how rare they are to find in any condition ...

[gsmith7158]

Thanks fellas! These old whittlers are one of my favorite patterns. It's always very satisfying to find one in good condition.

[Duffer]

Thanks Dan for your nice comment on my stag HSB Whittler!

Keith, that stag handled Remington Whittler is beautiful and I can clearly see why it is a favorite of yours Nice Whittler additions to the thread twhite Greg that Swell Center ballon Whittler is just fantastic—what a prize!!

Speaking of ballon Whittlers here is one of mine. A Miller Brothers (1863-1926 per Goins) Swell Center ballon Whittler with Ivory handles. 3.25 inches closed.

[BWT]
