Here's one I picked up for $15.00 new at an online auction site; superior walk and talk, fit and finish, and made in China, though there's nothing on the tangs or anywhere else on the knife that says China...it's on the box. For such a paltry sum, how could I resist...

A little reading on this old Robert Klass says it gets lumped into physician's knives (per Levine). It's more of a thin whittler and looks similar the GEC's #89.

Thank you!
Haha, that's clever!Could a baby Dr.'s knife be considered a pediatricians knife?
Yeah I also feel that this would be the perfect pattern for EDC for myself. The thinness makes them light and low profile in the pocket. They have an elegant feel to them that makes them non threatening and suitable in an office environment. Gotta find me one of these.

Does anyone have a comparison pic of a Baby Doc with a Peanut?

Not technically a doctor pattern, but very similar with slim profile and main blade.

There are several patterns that don't garner a great bit of enthusiasm and the Doctor's knife is one of them. It's a shame because it really is a great knife. It was my first favorite and still holds a special place in my heart. Here are a few that have come to live with me over the years.
More later.

And a few more.
And then there's this one. Queen calls it a Doctor knife but I'm having a hard time seeing that. No square end. Long bolster. I would call it more of a "Slim Barlow" BUT.......... They called it a Doctor's knife. Beauty knife, eh?
