Fortunately I am unaffected by this particular vice, emphasis on particular. However, I did provide some leather therapy to another lost whittler............. Poor guy, oft times to be seen typing in these very pages.

That stag seahorse Whittler is just gorgeous Gary...I'm calling dibs if it needs a new home

Thanks Chip, have a guy at work that is waiting patiently for the newness to wear off, he is also in love with this one!

Gary, I think your whittler sickness is spreading. Yesterday I picked up two Camillus 72 whittlers, one in SS and the other in carbon. Got them locally; great walk and talk, just gorgeous pieces of Cutlery. Trying to decide which to carry/use.
And to finish out the day, the Case Seahorse Whittler that I had ordered arrived early. Mine is in green bone. Very nice fit and finish.
Decisions, decisions.....

Btw, love that stag whittler. If I’d seen that one I believe I’d have chosen it over the green bone.

Very nice pics! I Have been thinking about picking up a Camillus 72, and an old timer blazer stockman and a buck 112 and a jagdnicker....... to many knives.

As the song goes “It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive...I’m not an addict...maybe that’s a lie”

I only need a Neptune 38 to have the set now! And I have a lead!! Then on to finish those pesky 33s and 57s...is this going to take long? *chuckle*

Pretty awesome collection!

Love looking at the knives in this thread. I am a newbie knife guy. Could you please tell me what characteristics makes a knife a "Whittler". Thanks.

Don't know the song but I bet it wasn't by Hank Williams, lol.
What an awesome collection - just OUTSTANDING!!
Grats and good luck on finding the Neptune 38. Hang in there, I'm sure you'll git 'er dun!

My definition FWIW is pretty simple - one that can be used for the different cuts that whittling objects like a "ball in a cage" calls for.

The Whittler pattern definition I've seen is a large main blade opposite two smaller secondary blades.

The perfect pattern, by the way

[PirateSeulb]

Yeah the definition I am familiar with for the pattern is as WValtakis says

Obviously, the definition that WValtakis is 100% correct.

 

[RayseM]

This one looks very appealing (er, aparing) to me.

My idea of a whittler is the main blade on two springs that split to support the two smaller blades. That wasn't very clear was it?--Search "split back spring whittler"--KV

Thanks for clearing it up for me.
