Ok guys,
This is a bladeshape I have never considered before. I have recently had experience with a whittler frame and wharncliffe and I like it. I have considered the Northwoods Whillamette Whittler but I'm not crazy about the covers that are currently offered. GEC can be frustrating to try and get into because most of the patterns I like are sold out. So although the Chapman has an odd blade set to me it has several things going for it; readily available, micarta scales, & a single backspring.
So for you guys that own a hawkbill or 38 Chapman what do you think of it?
