The only one I have currently is this one based on the Case "80" pattern in ivory and CPM-154 by Ken Erickson:

beautiful fellows, this pattern is hard to make & certainly one of the most attractive.

I used to own this "Rodgers" whittler by Reese Bose in buffalo horn and ATS-34 (but I traded it for another knife by Reese):

Sigh.....

It makes me want to toss mine in the shoe box and carry my old Buck folder.

What an absolutely gorgeous set of knives you guys have posted. That first Bose is a jaw dropper..... what a piece of craftsmanship!

I don't know that I would ever whittle with it... I would probably be to busy admiring it.

Campbell,

That is one of the classiest knives I have ever seen. Pride of ownership must run deep with that one!

Mike Robuck was the original owner of this knife, and took the pic, as far as I know.

Man, every one of those is so drool-worthy. Thanks for the great pics. :thumbup:

Thanks, James. Considering all the beautiful knives displayed that's saying something and I'm sure it will make Ken beam.

You may want to see if you can find a Case 6380 pattern online at one of the auction sites. I sent Ken one of mine to use as the template for this knife.
It is a wonderful pattern and iirc, Schrade made one very similar called the Carpenter's Knife (or similar).

Good luck and let us know how you make out. :thumbup:

Thanks everyone for posting the fantastic whittlers. This one is especially stunning in my opinion.

Campbell, please tell me about this one. As drool worthy as these all are, this one really grabbed my attention.

One of my favorite patterns and I would imagine a split backspring is a difficult challenge for makers. Here are some well executed ones in my collection.

Starting off with one by Bailey Bradshaw that most have seen:
