It`s obvious Robeson Cutlery Co. liked Whittler knives, quite a selection Charlie
They also proudly display a whittler on their knife box label as I posted earlier.

Thanks, everyone. I didn't mean to overload the thread, but MB asked for vintage whittlers.
That beautiful stag whittler of Slim's is marked "Peter Hendrichs".
Interestingly, I used to work with an elderly anesthesiologist named Peter Hendrichs. I decided I was going to find him a knife with his name on it and searched Ebay every day for over a year and nothing ever appeared.
However, I think if I'd found a stag whittler like that one, Dr. Pete would never have gotten it.

Dimitri, what marque is that swell-center, balloon-ended ebony handled knife?
And that etched Empire always amazes me.
K7K posted a surprising array of knives, as usual.
"SlimPickins", your collection does not live up to your name. Premium knives, all. I especially like that stag Hendrichs. Is it as long as it appears?

It is not a whittler

It is a 4-blade pen knife, but the handles are grooved Pearl

Here is one I need help with. My jeweler says the handles are solid 10 carat gold. When did they stop making split back spring whittlers?

That is not a true split back spring whitler.
It would be one main spring split in two for the secondary blades to ride on.
An attractive knife none the less, especially with the 10K gold!
