All About Pocket Knives

Some nice whittlers Greg.

I have just a couple. Here's is one; early SW 836 with all blades stamped. Well used but you can tell it's of fine quality.

I was going through my Whittlers this morning and took some pics. Some of these are probably repeats so you'll have to forgive me for that but I do so like these old girls so here they are.

A few more. One of these is of course not a true whittler but we all know the story on that.

Those are really nice old whittlers, Greg. Worthy of being shown twice in my opinion.

About that last one with the funny blade placement .... you could probably get someone to move that pen down there at the other end
and make it a real whittler.

Thanks Joe! Moving that pen blade is liable to cause an uprising in the 72 faithful.

Thanks Tommy! I didn't realize I had that many till I got them all in one pile, and those are just the old ones.

Greg that's a really nice bunch of my favorite pattern.

Even that last, deformed one! Somebody should take that one and make a nice scout knife out of it.

Thanks Ken! Don't know what it is but there's something really satisfying about an old whittler.

Very nice bunch of old whittlers, Greg. Nothing wrong with a repeat photo, in my opinion, anyway!

Thanks Lee and Mel!

Beautiful old whittlers Greg! You have great taste!! Thanks for letting us view you fantastic knives! Even I recognized that one as a 72. Learned a lot from my knife brethren!! Still so much to learn.

Here is a Friedr. Herder, Abr.Sohn ivory 3 1/4" sleeve board whittler with the crossed keys logo. Very nicely made including milled liners. Likely dates to late 1800's. The seller described the handles as "faux-ivory" but the cracks seen at 2 of the end pins are typical of the real thing and indeed it is faux "faux-ivory".
This is a good example of the excellent pocket knives being made in Solingen in late 1800's to early 1900's. Note quite to the extreme level of Jos. Rodgers or IXL Wostenholm workmanship of that time period, but close.

Lakeside cutlery co. Wanted to post this one here as well.

Nice one jdub!I've had a couple etched Lakesides in the past.A trademark of Montgomery Wards.

Nice knife with super looking bone Jdub ... I thought I had heard that Challenge Cut made Lakeside knives - bone looks to be very similar to Challenge in this case anyway..

I thought they were challenge made as well.

Nice whittler Jdub,I`ve also been told that Lakeside stamped knives were made by Challenge Cutlery.

That master clip is just simply beautiful.
