Let's talk Northwoods

Oh man that is just awesome!!! Ok so how hard to find and how much? What steel is it? (I know nothing about Northwoods!) Any other whittler patterns out there?

A more in-depth look at the NW Dogleg Whittler, if you're curious. Some interesting details on the construction and the backspring arrangement, as well as general Northwoods history during the Shirley era.


And here's a better pic of what the backspring actually looks like:

I Love the splitback pattern. I have two 38s that are my favorite carving knives! Now I REALLY want a Northwoods whittler!!!!

What a great video on Northwoods history. I’ve seen other episodes of their anthology but this one really caught my attention. Thanks for sharing and showing off your whittler!
