Question re: S&M Wildcat Driller

[rbmcmjr]

I've been contemplating buying one of these. From what I have been able to determine, the springs are set up like a whittler: split for the small blades and combined for the main. Does anyone have a picture of one of these that they would share?

I'm assuming you're looking at the File and Wire series:

Here is a link for that piece at Cumberland (a great place to do business): http://www.cumberlandknifeworks.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=file_wire&keywords=&next=3

This is a fine knife; very solid with the main blade working off both springs.

One comment: Be prepared to spend some time with your favorite sharpener to get the edge where you want it. I sort of like that; the blade is in "neutral" condition allowing you to personalize the edge.

I went on to buy the English Jack, based on the Wildcat.

Best regards.

Berzerker, Bill's shop is where I am looking, but he has no shots of the angle in question.

Sunburst, Picture links are down?

That should fix the problem..

Thanks. Does the main blade nest between the two secondaries?

See if this gives you a better idea on the blade configuration Rick.
