Splitback Whittlers at their Best!

[danno50]

Here a couple of small (3 5/16") I forgot I had.

Here are a few more splitbacks (that I almost gave up posting because of the blasted slow server response!) All three are small humpbacks ... Tuna Valley, Robeson, and Colonel Coon.

Nice looking splitbacks.

Would someone be willing to post a couple of GEC 38 English Whittler and Schrade 804 comparison pics? Thank you!

I know this one isn’t even in the ballpark with the knives posted in this thread, but I thought you might get a chuckle out of it. It’s actually quite well made.

Here is a 2002 Case which was offered to me at the Oregon knife show in that year!
The show was closing, and a Case dealer was trying to clear out some stock. He remembered me picking it up earlier in the show, and walked it over to my table and quoted me a ridiculously low price. Nice pearl, I could not refuse!!

It looks so nice with Nickel liners and wedge!!

Picked up this Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett OVB splitback Congress whittler, pretty full blades.

Beauty, kool shorter spacer than usual. Colours abound in those bones

My only John Primble, a gift from KBA. I haven't pulled this one out in a while. It's in need of a good cleaning.

Four inch Cigar whittler, with an Empire shield, which Schrade accredited as an Empire invention in their advertising!! I love this knife. It's posted elsewhere, but deserves to be here also!!

There is hardly a knife or pattern I don't like, but... Whittlers are definitely in my top 5 favorite patterns.
This wonderful thread from waynorth sure highlights some nice examples.
Here is an old pre-WWII Car-Van whittler which was another name used by the Canton Cutlery Co.
Car-Van was actually the parent company name. A light "Car-Van" etch is visible on the main blade.
