First pic is what it was like when I got it (factory grinds were awful - rounded over the point on the sheepsfoot and coping blades and the spey grind was an atrocity near the tip). Before you scroll all the way down to the last picture - see if you can see what's the real oddity with the blades before I give it away with the last picture (hint, it's not the addition of the coping blade) ...

Here's after I cleaned up the grinds & tweaked the spey (kinda like how that one came out) ...

The really weird part of this knife is ....

wait for it ...



ready ?



The clip blade is from a muskrat, not a stockman - only thing I can think of is that blade substitution was done to give better access to the nail nick on the coping blade (here's a comparison between the whittman and a standard 47 stockman) --->

I have gotten to know this farmer in Ohio, who is not only great to deal with, but he also has some really nice knives. (Thanks Roger)
I will post pics of any of these which haven't previously been posted. Don"t want to duplicate any, I know you guys get bored enough as it is, looking at knife pictures all day

C'mon Ike, we don't care if they have been posted somewhere before, they are new to you, so let us see them again! Anything from Roger is worth looking at again.

“Got these today”, is that all you are going to say about that group of knives? Wow! Nice haul.

The seller had more than one to sell so I was a little trepidatious about buying it without seeing the handles but the Mark side turned out alright and the Pile side is acceptable.
