Congratulations Sarah!!! Can't wait to see more pics and impressions! I have one in Appaloosa Brown Jigged Bone coming any day because I really liked the pattern, and have only one Tree Brand. For all you do here, I can't think of a more deserving winner!

Enjoy!

(Thanks.)

I've only recently become fascinated with Whittlers, but already know I like Bokers. The beer-barrel wood has always piqued my curiosity as well. Add in the knife's provenance, and... I'm really looking forward to having this one here.

Tyler, I responded to your PM almost before I finished reading it (heh). Let me know if you didn't receive it.

Congratulations, Sarah. There is much to recommend a whittler like that one. I'm sure you will like it and possibly want more...

The Boker Whittler arrived today, along with a surprise gift from Tyler:

Thanks, Tyler-- your handiwork makes an already great gift even more special. :)

This is a super-fine knife. The serpentine handle combines with the blade spine profiles to render it comfortable no matter which blade is being used.

Clip, pen, coping-- fantastic selection:

The Beer Barrel covers feel smoother than they appear (no "catches" anywhere), with their interesting texture making for a good grip. :thumbup:

(Does anyone know what type of wood beer barrels are typically made from, that this might be? Oak?)

Whittler construction: this knife has the double-springs-supporting-the-main-blade that defines it as a whittler. Yet, unlike others I've seen, there is no wedge separating the springs near the secondary blades (there's a wedge between the blades, but not the springs). The knife still widens out slightly at the double-bladed end, but remains nicely streamlined. The tapers at each bolster are a nice touch.

I'm thrilled that you like it Sarah! It was only appropriate to throw in a carving with a whittler
 
Tyler,
thank you for your generosity, and congrats to Sarah for her lucky win.
The "extra" looks awesome too :p
As for the Boker, I do believe that it's oak. I really wish Boker offered more patterns with this handle material :rolleyes:

Fausto
:cool:
 
Very cool!
Congrats, Sarah!

Tyler, the GA was generous to a fault and the carving is really impressive.
 
Congratulations, that really is a beauty. I'm jealous!
(and man, that is one cute kitten)
 
I'm in, sorry no picture I'm still trying to figure out how to do this whole picture thing. I guess I need to set up a photobucket account
 
Congrats Sarah! That knife looks like a great user, and the whittled old man face is a terrific bonus!
 
Great GA, Tyler! A very nice gesture. And congratz to your whittling skills, Sir.

Thanks Sarah, for the great pics ... of the knife, the kitten and the whittling sculpture you got. :)

Have a nice day everyone!
 
Congrats, Pertinux! And a floating-headed-sad-beardy-man to boot. That thing is wayyy cool. t.sous, you got some serious skill, man!
