hey john, thanks, once sharp, edge retension is satisfactory, with occasional ceramic rod to allign the edges. i prefer carbon though.

Great stuff Jonet143.
A beautiful example of what a Case Wharnie can do in the right hands.
You've actually got me thinking of moving up from pencil sharpening.
...just
thinking mind you.

Thats very nice Johnnie. Does making pointy ends on sticks with my pocket knife qualify as whittling?
Like edgewise, I can do a pretty fair job of sharpening pencils too.

I'm afraid sharpening pencils is about my level of expertise as well.
But, I like to make the point real looooooooooooong...just for fun.

professional looking as your work!

I have a few seahorses, not nearly as many as the numerous 'serious' seahorsemen. They sure seem more prone to biting their owners than most other patterns lol.

I got a Case Seahorse Whittler (smooth orange bone they call it) from Lowes a few months ago. I did'nt like the color much but they were clearin out all their Cases on sale near the front door an this was the only Seahors they had. I got it fer $17. I figured it wasnt too bad a deal. I had a $20 bill to my name and after I bought the knife, I forgot what I went to Lowes for, so I got a Mountain Dew and couldn't buy nothin else anyway. I don't whittle with it, its sitll in the box. I do like to whittle on walkin canes a little bit. I'll try to post some pics some time. I'm real good at whittlin on cardboard boxes.
