Second is a Robeson Mastercraft split backspring whittler, in gorgeous blue jigged bone.
Third is a Case Select toothpick. I believe the handles are Chinese Quince burl wood or Amboynia, but I’m pretty sure it’s Quince. I watch Case Select knives every day on Ebay and have been trying to add more of these to my collection. I like that the pins, liners and bolsters are all nickel silver with no brass.


Sweet whittlers, really like the bloodwood 38 and that Robeson Queen. Nice pair.

I admire the Robeson Mastercraft label. They have impressed me for a while now, and yours is a beauty.

Received these two in the mail today. Two new additions to my Camillus CLone Family.

First, A POWR-KRAFT 84-11 Swell Center Whittler. It is 3-5/8" closed and the same configuration and blades as the Camillus 72. I will post more photos in the Camillus 72 Clone thread.

Next is a Imperial Scout Whittler. It has the Imperial Prov USA tang stamp, and Boy Scouts Shield. It came with the box, unfortunately didn't have the pamphlet with it. I will also post this in the Camillus 72 Clone Thread.

Mine pales in comparison to some other recent arrivals (especially Rustle's Baby Sunfish), but I'm still happy with it. It's a Case Mini Copperhead with smooth natural bone handles/covers.

I also made a quick video of me unboxing it. Since I couldn't figure out how to embed it, a link will have to suffice.

Good looking Mini Copperhead. The Natural bone is in my top three favorite handle colors. You should also post it in the "A Nest Of Copperheads" thread. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70320

The knife was actually "Dan In MI's" Garry, Jerry supplied the video so we wouldn't have to go to YouTube to watch it. Those darn seniors moments again, huh? 8)
