also could you explain 'sleeveboard'

To my understanding a sleeveboard is an ironing board used in laundries for sleeves. Narrow at one end tapering to broad at the other and resembling the handle of a sleeveboard knife.
 
Here's a sleeveboard knife, a whittler as it happens (not my knife). Note how it's larger at one end.
If you take it, and bend it into a lazy "S" shape you get a serpentine sleeveboard, or a dogleg.

P.S. still hoping for a CV or 1095 Seahorse!

When are they going to figure that out!!

Hi,

My sentiments exactly! I so want a Seahorse in CV. Come on Case! Pretty, pretty please?

That's a fine looking knife, Charlie. Anyone would be proud to own it!
 
Off the subject but, dammit Charlie, I missed you not being at Blade:grumpy:. I gave your Schrade-Boned Beauties a ride to Atlanta thinking you would be there but....oh well. Much as I hate to I will mail them as previously planned but I'm goin to be as nervous as a long-tailed dog in a room full of rockin chairs. :p

Anywho, you have the best stuff and that whittler in the OP is right up there with the bestest. :thumbup::cool:

I missed being there and seeing everyone Kerry! Sorry I didn't get the word out, but I was solidly booked to go until a couple of days before departure. Sounds like I missed a roaring good time!
Gus, Case would sell a million 1095 whittlers! Whatever are they waiting for??

S&M in their pamphlets call these Dogleg whittlers
They have the tapered wedge that denotes true whittlers.

S&M 18th Series Whittler

Also
Queen call their #51 (Mini-Trapper frame with a pen as a second blade) Dogleg Jack.
Are these 'correct' names?

i am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the dogleg whittler thay i bought on ebay!! yay!!
 
The Seahorse in the OP is magnificent! I've been looking for one just like that for a while now. Actually, I've been looking for any Seahorse that I really liked for a while now. All the ones I've handled have had some little quirk or another that has prevented me from buying it. It is a lovely pattern, I love the beefy master blades. I have been told that it is the thickness of the master blade that has kept Case from making a 1095 version. They don't have a stock of 1095 in that thickness, or it's outside of their HT protocol, or something like that.

Case is putting that pattern "in the vault" at the end of the year, so these are going to get more and more scarce. I need to find a good one sometime soon.
 
Here's what I call a dogleg - tho it ain't no whittler.

Main blade on the small end (waynorth) but also the other bolster tweaked away (reversed?)

I'm pretty sure they are incorrectly calling that a "dogleg whittler" but I'm pretty sure you could whittle a dog's leg with one if you wanted to. :p

And this is a "dogleg jack" and I'm positive I've never seen a dog with a flat so why would you ever need a jack. ;)
