A different Waterville stamp on each blade but not unusual for their knives...
You don't want that old thing with the stamps all cattywompus!
Beautiful knife, Lee. Can't see how they get much better than that.
So good to see you posting, buddy.

Here is my other recent Waterville wharncliffe score (actually I have 3 Waterville wharncliffes - one engraved aluminum, and 2 bone of different sizes). This one is 2 & 7/8" and different bone than the one just above. Different shield as well. No half stops on either blade. The stamps were the same on both blades on this knife - the pen blade had a tiny but very readable stamp and same as master blade pictured below. No doubt Waterville over its long time span of approximately 70 years used different bone - I imagine the sources changed over that time - also jigging was different pending the time frame. Still a solid knife after all these years...

Another beauty Lee! Those curvy wharncliff's really are in a class by themselves. The bone is sweet and most importantly it's a Wateville! I have one Waterville and it's my pride and joy! Your collection of Waterville's is amazing and truly a pleasure to view! Congratts!!

Waterville Whittler - Swell-Center Balloon - 3 & 5/8" closed ... Only lightly sharpened if at all and one can see a few scratches on blades given the angle of the light reflection on the original blade finish which still exists... All blades stamped the same.. Snappy & tight

That is one fine knife, Lee! Earlier today, I was wishing someone would post a Waterville or two, it had been a while.
