Re: Got Whittlers ?
Thanks Johnnie and Keith, I figured I'd keep this one as a collectible. Since it's the same knife as the #48 Queen whittler, I can always buy a honey aged amber bone whittler with D2 steel as a user, as if I NEED another user
! Whenever I buy a new knife, my better half always has the same comment..."Don't you have a knife like that already?!" and the ever popular..."How many knives do you NEED?" I never do answer her

Re: Got Whittlers ?
Glad you like that swell center Don! Beauty of an NYK, Mark! Great thread.
(I forgot I showed the Case knives before, so I edited this thread for these Schatts
)
Here's a picture I scanned a while ago, of three S & Ms.
The two larger ones are sturdy knives with a nice large grip.
The top and bottom are handled in old winterbottom bone, and the middle one has buffalo horn, with a pearl shield.

Re: Got Whittlers ?
One more; this is a little guy!
An unusual pattern, this was likely made for Shapleigh Hardware, by the Empire Knife Co. It is of full whittler construction, with a wedged backspring, and very sturdy despite being a hair under 3" long!
This is the only one I've seen with this profile.

Re: Got Whittlers ?
Here's a smaller version of the serpentine whittler. The pic doesn't show the small blades well. I'll have to dig it out and scan it again.
A nice color in the peachseed jigged bone.

Re: Got Whittlers ?
Here's a rare one, another Schrade. 4" long, it's a lengthy but slim knife. This one came from a display board and is mint!

Re: Got Whittlers ?
I 've got several Robeson whittlers. I've just shown one in the Sherwood thread.
If I show them all, I'll be at the computer for quite a while. They are all in KNIFE GALLERY V on my website.
But, Bernard Levine has stated in every edition of his Knife Guide that there is no such thing as a gunstock whittler, other than the Orange Blossum that was made by many different makers.
Well, Robeson made two of which I am aware. One was a real whittler pattern, working man's knife. It's 3 3/8" long with nice brown bone, worm-grooved handles. The other was a little 2 1/2" fob knife, but constructed in a true whittler configuration.
