Hi everbody.
Well, I just want to thank everyone for making this a pretty cool place to visit, and to learn.
Please feel free to enter your name in the giveaway, if you wish? post a photo of a Traditional slippy...thats why we are here to have a looksee
Ok...please correct me if I am wrong, but I am thinking that this would be a 70's? era BUCK CREEK WHITLER, made in Solingen, Germany.
I think that this is a nice little knife, a solidly built knife, nice even walk and talk-finished by a very respectable snap!
The scales are Yellow Composite, and are see-through, Bolsters are N/S.
On the main clip blade..there is still a faint etch with WHITLER in the center of the fancy design, and underneath in very faint etching..HAND MADE.
Neat shield too! :thumbup:
The three blades are in nice condition, and this is where I fail sometimes...the blades have the oldish patina-although not grey, and its hard to determine whether they are SS or Carbon, I have tried the vinegar trick, but all I have is malt vinegar..if that works the same?...I left a pool of Vinegar on the blade for a wee while with no real effect...this tells me SS.
The knife has NO issues.
I hope you like the knife, and I certainly hope you think its nice enough to slip in your pocket, as I think it is a nicely built knife.
Please forgive the photos, I must leave for a week, and the photos have been rushed, my apologies, as they just dont do the knife justice realy.
I will log in a few times if I get time hopefully while Im away, lets give it till the 15th of this month.
Have fun, and go for it.
Thank you everyone.
