Share a Whittler Pic

I sold this Hen for real short money. I guess thats how it goes on the bay. Polished bolsters and inside the springs. A real beaut.

Does two 1/2 Whittlers make a whole whittler?

Neeman, I'd argue that they aren't whittlers at all (despite being fine knives).

Blues, I really love that ivory KE whittler of yours. An no wonder, my most loved and pocket worn knife is an early-90's Marble's that looks alot like it.
I bought this one new, and put alot of miles on it.

Thanks. Ken deserves all the credit...though I did have the foresight to send him a 6380 to use as a template. I like your Marble's. Nice knife for sure. :thumbup:
 
Reposting trying a different method of photo. Having photobucket issues.

Well, After viewing all the great knives I feel sorta plain to show the Buck Whittlers.

Buck created the 310 "Whittler" by taking the already in production 309 and adding a coping blade sized to the 309 and adding a third spring. It is not just a 305 coping blade stuck in the knife. They started in 1992 as a exclusive offer by SMKWs. They were first placed in the Buck catalogs in 1998 and went thru 2000. They keep popping up as special offers with various sellers even very recently. You sometimes see them in a special sliding top wooden box.

The plain 310 is pictured on the left. The coping blade was added to make it a 'whittler' form as it was thought that was a favorite blade shape of wood carvers. The really nice variation is a LE in brown jigged bone, offered for 1997 and 98. The regular knife,bolt and hammer escutcheon replaced with a LE medallion. 300

Recently I was talking to my buddy Mike Robuck about asking one of our favorite knifemakers to consider making a custom version of this fine Case Congress pattern which makes a very fine pocket carry. Although it may not be a typical whittler pattern, it sure lends itself to the sport, imho.

Wow! Some real beauties in this thread! Unfortunately, a lot of the pics have disappeared, but I still spent a good long while ogling the ones that are still showing up.

And I just dug out my old Camillus Official Boy Scout Whittler to see how it was made, only to find that it's not even really a whittler pattern! The coping blade is on the same end as the master blade, and no split spring. I noticed the paper in the box also called the small clip blade a pen blade. I guess a manufacturer (or merchant, or in this case, the BSA) can call a pattern anything they want.

Schrade Tennessee and Kentucky Commemorative whittlers

Steve: Schrade, Ulster, and Camillus all made the swell center "stockman/whittler" hybrid with the coping blade up by the main clip. It was originally an old "63" Schrade pattern I believe. They called it a "balloon" in this 1954 catalog.
