Small/Medium Traditional Knife?

I love the 6208 splitback half whittler, it's been in my pocket every day this month.

That's a beautiful knife! I love the splitback.

The 6208 is a half whittler. It has a single back spring with a blade on each end. Those blades have a tangs of equal thickness.

A "split back" is a knife with one thicker tang blade on one end and two slim blades on the other.

Each of the thin blades use a single spring. Those springs come together and work as a single spring on the larger blade.

With the spacer, it appears that a single spring is split.

Well, i guess I was wrong about what a splitback is.
The 6208 is just a half whittler with a spring for each blade then.
Nice knife there btw.
