While patiently waiting for the 38 English Whittlers from GEC I found this Queen 48 at a dealers site. It is a wonderful little knife a 5 pull and snappy. The D2 steel is sharp, we will have to see if it needs touched up for actual whittling but no rush. The spots on the blade are from a little rain sprinkle here. F&F seem to be in order, I think it will be a winner.

I like the wharncliffe on the Utica better than a spear
Thanks Mike

Or not buying them when we had the chance... I received an offer to buy a Kryptonite Grinling like that one at normal cost, and turned it down because I thought, "I don't need a whittling knife." As Homer says... "DOH!"

Case "Seahorse" whittlers are pretty true to the Wharncliffe pattern.
Many scoff at them, because of the ubiquitous steel in the blades!
But the pattern/shape is quite useful - nice long grippable handle, and useful blade shapes both Primary and Secondaries!
I'm no pro whittler, but I used one for for a year and found it quite useful and sharpen-able!!
The second one down in this picture is a "Seahorse". As you can see, they have no wedge, but they do have a "split", or paired, spring.

I've got this user #38 that I love so much.

You people are absolutely horrible. I bought one. My first spilt back. A Winchester from '89. My first Winchester black box. Good lord. Gorgeous. Pictures on the morrow.

Here is a Russell Whittler. I assume it's a pretty recent production and was made by Boker, but I'm not completely sure.

 

[Jiki]

Sharp enough to whittle.

 

[Cooter Brown]

It was a stormy day, so only some poor pictures inside today. But here's my first splitback and my first Winchester BB. A great looking and well put together knife! Terrific jigging. It's super pretty right now, but this will probably become a user--very few of my knives aren't.

I bought this case whittler of the big auction site. It was basically mint. I was so excited that I opened it walking back from the mailbox to my house and.....DROPPED it on the sidewalk, knicking the bolster!!!

Still a great Whittler.
