I see three knives in there that you really don't need... will send my address so they can be properly disposed of.

Dan, love that very top KK, great bone and great look to that main clip blade, do you have a picture with all the blades open?

Thanks Augie. I do have a couple of other pictures.

Those CSC's are gorgeous

The old ones are the best in regards to the secondaries. So dainty and finely ground I say we will never see this type of skill in a modern factory slipjoint again. GEC may hopefully prove me wrong someday....

I had a look at my Wedged 3 blade Whittlers . All have fairly small Secondary Blades .
The Case Seahorse is not Wedged but very well made . No Blade Rubs .
My 1986 Cripple Creek is Wedged and very well made and has No Blade Rubs .

I have no other pics of the wedge , but you can make out that it is Wedged

My 2017 Northfield 13 is Wedged and is 3 Bladed made in 2017 and has No Blade Rubs and is very well made . Old Pics



Terrible pic of the Wedge

If the new 38's are as well made as my above mentioned knives , I will be extremely happy .

Seems everyone enjoys the workmanship required to create these beauties, and owns at least one or two!! Some collections are downright astounding!!
Here is a whittler made for Jim Sargent, by Queen! They found a way to dye pearl!! They called it "Smoked Pearl"! It seems permanent, and looks much nicer than these scans!! Jim's brand was short-lived, but he knew what was worth making!!
Jim was a purveyor of knives, and an author, who passed away three years ago!

Roy was unable to land a whittler when he got GEC to make one for the Oregon Knife Club! Too bad, Roy!! I am enjoying collecting your SFOs!!

Don't see Queens with the smoked pearl very often. Nice

I always enjoy seeing your creations! Great work! I'll buy a couple RR Whittlers if it'll make my attempts look like yours!

This one is really cool Charlie I thought it was abalone at first and then read your post that it is color infused pearl... love it!

Nice group of whistlers, Charlie. I especially like the 98, equal end, big clip and nice secondary blade shapes. Shield and wood cover are excellent as well.

I'd been wondering if those little RRs were split back or 3 spring, nice to know, thanks!

And verry nice work! Although I wouldn't call that whittling, 'round here thats fine woodworking, high end wood carving!!

Some wonderful knives in this thread, both old and newer. Here are the only two splitbacks I have at the moment with a relation. Hopefully I will add a few more in the future, a Case 83 certainly high up on the want list.
