The Wonderous Whittler

[Gevonovich]

Those are beautiful, Lloyd! That balloon whittler takes the cake!


Schrade Walden 804 ... I love this knife and have been carrying/using it the past couple of months.

Awesome 804 Al !! The bone is as good as it gets. Good to hear your carrying it as it certainly deserves the love

Splendid! The Schrade 804 in peach seed jigged bone is the epitome of a beautiful whittler and you've got a great example. Congratulations!

892309 #04 Golden Rod Smooth Bone: I got this one at the end of May but never got around to taking and posting pics (along with quite a few other knives). This is joining my 892309 #03 Primitive Bone and my 891212 Smooth Calico Bone #02. I never meant to start collecting the 89 series, but I have a hard time passing them up. (I am not sure if these all are truly whittlers as opposed to melon testers or riverboat gamblers - but what the heck!)

What a smashing acquisition and addition to the stable I love that trio. The #89 has that perfect synchronicity of unusual and function !

Thanks Gevonovich!

Kind of an older thread but I've enjoyed looking back through it as I love whittlers.
Clark Bros Kansas City MO probably made by or on Northfield machinery by Northfield cutlers from what I understand. Probably one of favorite knives in my collection.

Man o man what a treat !!! Lovely knife is so many ways...wow...just superb. I wonder if Clark Bros has any relation to Curtain & Clark?

That's a great & growing group of 89's Vaporstang. Very nice. I have one of those Second Cut Jigged Stags as well. Don't see a lot of that type of cover.

Case Classic XX = Blue Grass = Queen

 

[AlwaysTomboy]

Ooo, whittlers! I'm partial to these with the equal end serpentine handles. Comfy in hand and appeals to my preference for symmetry.

"Gloryiousness" absolutely describes that red bone my friend, and try as I may, I could not find "Gloryiousness" in Websters anywhere and it just proves to me that they have never seen these wonderful bone covers before

and i know you know...with all your flavors..that last one you showed I'm giddy. My first 'real' red bone. There was a discussion some years back as the" the era of 'real' red bone ???
Do you remember that discussion...I can't find it?

Neat knife!! !940s to 1950s is my guess!!
