I love the design of the Case seahorse whittler. I have read here that for a user, case may not be the top choice. Dose anybody else make the pattern? Also, I have seen a small coping blade that has been called a scribe or carpenter's blade. Any info on this? Which is it? what special properties does it have?
--thanks, Joe
 
The seahorse is more traditionally referred to as a Wharncliffe Whittler.

For that style of knife, you may want to look at Bulldog Brand....they make it in several sizes. Primarily forged carbon steel but they do make some stainless steel knives.

No other manufacturer that I know of offers it as a standard product. Queen has made some on contract under the Case Classics name and the Winchester name, but these are short runs, harder to find and more expensive.

I have seen the coping blade also called a scribe or whittling/carpenters blade. Its only distinction is the sharp beveled point, used for fine carving or to mark a line across a piece of wood.
 
I agree about the Bulldogs. Good knives for sure. The Bulldog Christmas catalog just came today and there are a lot of good deals on the wharncliffe whittlers. Some in pearl and elephant ivory too. There are 3 sizes to choose from. The largest is about 4 1/8' closed.

awww... i like case...
i think they're good users. although, sometimes you get a bad seed (can happen with anything that's produced in a factory...).
peace.
