All About Pocket Knives

What happened to the Whaler pattern knife?
Don't they make it any longer?
I don't see any for sale at the dealer's sites and rarely see one on eBay.

Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

There are two for sale in member stores on this site.

I am ready to see more NF Whalers with EO.

...i have one for sale, if anyone's interested!!!...mib...#462111.antique yellow bone!!.... ......

looks like the whalers took a back seat to the lumberjacks & the roughnecks. i have a decent amount of all these biggies but still see lots of l.j.s. & r.n.s on dealer sites & wonder why collectors seem not hot on these patterns. the toenails have large followings but maybe that is the max size collectors desire. one of those knife mysteries that only history can answer.--HiPower

Carrmillus, Let me know your asking $ BH

Well Looks Like I'm adding another fish to the pond Bonehead

whalers are certainly a different pattern--notice in addition to different master blade the much larger bolsters of the bone & stag whalers. one of those you wonder of what happened just as the stock whitts & the toothpicks. my guess they did'nt sell well.--HiPower

A very nice collection Hi Power.

Nice line up Dennis

Heres my fav. Whaler... Buffalo Horn

Earl,

Those shields are far and few.... But the proper one for a knife that size. I wish I owned a whaler with that shield. I have a few Sunfish with it, but not the Whaler Nice Piece BH

stunning knife earl & i wish i had your photo skill.--HiPower

Snakewood and cocobolo wood.

Nice Big Boys... Wood Guy,

One of my few favorite patterns! Nice Set, and very unique BH

Thanks bonehead I appreciate it! I missed the boat on these when they first came out so it was tricky to acquire them.

I redid the pics for it, hopefully they look better... #46 ebony wood 5th anniversary.
What a lucky find!

I took a few pictures for a friend.............

Wow! now your speaking my language Boggs!
Those are shined up to perfection, not to mention great pics!

Awesome collection Jim; those are VERY nice!

boggs very impressive---HiPower

I asked them at the factory if they would be making more whalers...I think his name was Chris ,he said they are a very hard blade to grind. Thats why they haven't been making them. I love them.So far I have collected12 Elephants , Whalers and Sunfishes ,mostly GEC's. I'd trade all 28 mint Case knives I have for 6 mint Whalers. When I learn how to take good pics I'll post some pics here.

Love the Whalers! They have become my favorite pattern.
Lets see those whalers!

Is that Snakewood Caddyman? I really like the knife!
