Larry that 6391 is a beauty!

Old Cutler a great showing!

What a great show of knives, everyone.
It is a real pleasure to see all of these.

Here' s a little whittler with no stamps whatsoever. A great, solid knife. 3 1/4".

[gsmith7158]

Very nice joe!

Joe,

[FRJ]

Here is a knife stamped Tidioute PA, and poorly stamped in my opinion, but I have seen few Tidioute stamps.
This is one of the things in knife collecting/accumulating that frustrates me. I don't trust this knife.
It's just too shiny and new looking and I don't trust the stamp at all.
But what a knife. It's very well made and has strong springs and
the blades have smooth action and no wobble at all. It's built like a tank. 3 3/4".
It's roundish with big bolsters and a nice swell center. Nice smooth bone covers which add a lot of weight because of their roundness.
Actually the smooth bone is another reason I don't trust this knife. Who would make a knife this nice and then make a fraud out of it?
Any way, (I hope I don't get billed for a therapy session) I have set this knife aside but I believe I will sharpen it and carry it now.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you, Greg and Larry.

Larry, that Case is quite fine.

Lloyd, that is a very fine Miller Bros.

OLDE CUTLER, that is a great show of knives.

[LongBlade]

All great old whittlers Lloyd, Larry, Olde Cutler and Joe ... All are so nice but my eye keeps floating back to that Miller Bros Lloyd - that is a nice example in all ways ... she's a real beauty!!

Here are a few of mine-

H&B New Britain CONN - 2 1/2"

Thomaston Knife Co - 3"

Challenge Cut Co - 3"

[FRJ]

Those are beauties, lee.
Nice clean old knives in great condition.

Your're right, Lloyds Miller Bros. is really special.

Nice Lee.

[LongBlade]

Thanks Roger ..

[Twhite]

Wicked Whittlers guys. I really like those with the MOP.

[jlw257]

Lee, awesome

[JohnR]

Man, you guys are posting some beauties, great whittlers!

A couple I have, the Challenge has been shown but I'm not sure about the Catt, the Catt is not a split spring and is an unusual gunstock whittler, apparently not very common.

[OLDE CUTLER]

Thank you gentlemen. I pick up a whittler when I can.

[peanut740]

Nice additions John.

[LongBlade]

Thanks Joe (somehow I missed your reply above Roger ), Larry, Twhite and John ...

John - as I said before that Challenge is SWEET ..

[JAMESC41001]

Great knives John. Rodger the Thomaston is something special.

[Twhite]

Just got this IXL in the mail today. Factory edge still and great walk and talk. The MOP just shines.

[Mumbleypeg]

More fantastic old whittlers! John that Catt gunstock whittler is indeed a true gem.

Lloyd, You've done it again, waking up a wonderful old thread. Greg, Lee, Lloyd, Larry, Joe & John a fine show of whittlers. Keith the large Remington stag is one of the holly grail of whittlers. A real beauty.
