The Wonderous Whittler

[blademan 13]

I reckon Jamie never met a pearl handled whittler he didn't like neither !!! Outstanding knives ! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

You just may have me there, Primble! They are my Kryptonite.... Just wish I could get them to pose like you do!

AL and Jamie

I sure am glad you two never met a whittler you didn't like because it sure is a treat to see each one you have collected!!:thumbup:

JSCHENK and Glenn

Thank you so much for the look at your beauties:thumbup::thumbup:

This thread went dormant too long, so Thank you all!

Thanks, Gev. Much appreciated. My pictures really don't do them justice

Top to bottom - Remington, Winchester, Schrade Cut Co, Keen Kutter

Jamie : The Sabre Clip blades on the Remington & Schrade really look nice !!!!! Are they very functional on a Whittler , or have you ever tried them ???

And here's an Eye Brand I did for someone, I really liked how it came out.

Harry, can't say as though I have ever tried these but I would suppose there may be a benefit in blade stiffness going to a sabre grind. There were a lot of cutleries making sabre ground whittlers, Camillus and Schrade some of the most well known, so there must have been a reason behind it. I really like the combination of an aggressive blade paired with MOP covers on a whittler. Heck, I even have an old Remington sabre ground whittler with a blood groove Ah, the roaring twenties... .

There are a couple of those sabre ground whittlers now, great knives, Glenn! One of my grails would be a bone covered 804 :thumbup:

Hey guys, if the primary task of the knife is cutting wood the sabre or scandi grind is an advantage because you rest the whole bevel on the work and you can begin the cut in a very controlled manner. With a flat or hollow ground blade you have to balance the spine to the proper angle of attack for the bevel to bite the wood with much greater risk of going too deep and ruin something.
Hope it helps
Keep showing those beauties please

Nice couple of 804 Glenn, the bone looks great.

Picked up this New York Knife Co Whittler at the Keystone Blade Association Knife Show a couple weeks ago in Lewisburg, PA. Each of the smaller blades are marked "New York Knife Co Walden" and the main blade has the "Hammer Brand" stamp. It's my first Whittler, and I just love this thing. Bought it as shown. I tuned up the edges and dropped it into my pocket. I believe the scales are ebony. There are some great looking knives in this thread. I've got an idea, this won't be my last Whittler.

Nice Whittler - what is the closed length of it ? :thumbup:

 

[Why Waltz]

Thanks, Primble! It's 3 1/8 inch closed.

Thanks, Primble! It's 3 1/8 inch closed.

I thought it was a small whittler by the badge shape - thank you.

How would you rate your Seahorse whittlers to your GEC 38? I know they're stainless, etc. but blade pull, fit and finish, split back spring, etc? I love whittler patterns but they're unfortunately slim pickens!

 

[JSCHENK]

My three favorites.

The 38's are a split back design where the seahorse is a double backspring (parallel). Botha are well made. The 38's seem more consistent. The seahorse like all cases can vary on terms of slight gaps ect. But I love the short stout Wharncliffe on the seahorse, only wish it was carbon.

The Damascus Seahorses are a nice CV alternative. They cut very aggressively, and can remove material quickly with that large, wedge shaped wharnie.
