Wow!!
 
Today I changed after Church to a UH small stockman and a Walden Serpentine 895 Stockman.

Before Church I carried the same small stockman and a Case CV Large Stockman!

Impressive variety in your stag choices, Stuart!! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup: Is that Kutmaster unusual in using a pen to replace the sheep foot, rather than the spey, blade? The Kissing Cranes whittler has a shape I've not seen before, with the "notch" along the backspring just behind the pivot for the main blade. :confused:

Thanks, GT. I don't think the clip/spey/pen is too unusual, though it may not be very common. Levine shows a couple of knives with that configuration that he calls junior stock knives. I don't think you'd find them on cattle knives, which are the real workers (or so I understand). Yes, that notch is unusual to me, too. I could find nothing about ti is the sparse background information that I saw on the selection of the Kissing Crane whittler for the 1980 museum knife. It does not appear to be a common whittler pattern, even for Robert Klass. One online seller called it a swell end, but that's not quite it; several others refer to it as a humpback, which is a bit closer.

I have to ask, deltaboy, was it a revelation at church that sparked the change over? Or just for the fun of it?
