Half-Whittler Haven

Apart from the slight recurve on the pen blade, the fit and finish on this Halloween half-whittler is outstanding. Presumably it got a little extra attention being from a special run. I would be willing to pay just a little more for Cases to ensure that they all came this nice and consistent on the dye and fitment every time and not be such a dice roll lately.

"Half-whittler" is a name dreamed up by knife collectors! Maybe in the 1960s to 1990s! They are essentially Pen knives or in slightly larger form, Double-end Jacks, in traditional nomenclature.
It's easy to assume they were named for Whittler-style knives with only one secondary instead of two!! The term "Whittler" is reputed to be a collector-driven term also, referencing the split spring construction.
The English language evolves to suit our needs it seems!
