Anybody else pretty bummed about the style of the main wharncliffe on these? I was so excited about this run of 38's and thought they might choose something long and elegant like they did on the #13 congress, which I think would look excellent. This short, stumpy wharncliffe really doesn't do it for me though.

I am actually excited about the length of the main. It is much better suited for actually whittling at this length for me.

i wouldn’t say I’m bummed, but my preference would always be for a clip on a whittler main. My own personal whittling philosophy is that I prefer a general use knife that I can also use for whittling. That type of knife gets more pocket time, while the others like Case’s Seahorse Whittler tend to get packed for trips and camping, or pocketed when I’m out and about and don’t need much knife but could reduce a stick to shavings.

Clip points are less obtrusive when using secondaries but provide that belly that makes so many general cutting tasks easier.

All this and the recent run of Pocket Carvers really nailed it, so I feel like they could have done a run of Grinling’s again and it would have been a slam dunk.

not that I don’t really want a bloodwood 38...
 
152118B&C? (seen on another thread)

I have looked, but cannot find. What is B&C?


"Thanks" to those who answered. Now I remember.

I like size of the blades myself. I don't know if this is a one or two spring knife. If it's one spring, the main blade would need to be shorter to nest along side the secondary in the narrower blade well. I think.:)
 
Those new Whittler knives are going to be very attractive.
I even like the Badge shield on that frame, seems to fit it better than the frames they've been putting it on.

Okay, you got me thinking about this down the hall picture a bit more. This one is tricky because it looks to point out the obvious, but there's a couple extra not so obvious things in the picture. There's a mirror there.. and an opposite sillouette of the green guy behind the mirror... If you look at the giant 38 in a mirror it's 83. Maybe a run of 83's is coming?

Well duh, an opposite reflection in a mirror would make a 38 look like an 83. o_O
 
I’m not sure where y’all are seeing a mirror in that hallway photo. Is it the bottom of bottle that the Crown Lifter guy is holding?

I had the same thought about the mirror and 38... but can’t remember if someone (jiki?) predicted already a run of 83s? So I figured that idea was placed in my head and not actually deduced by me! :D

There's 2 patterns there... The 38 and dead skunk 85. Could also mean a new pattern release.. 58?
