I've always preferred the beefier sheepsfoot blade of a stockman than the coping blade of a whittler in a medium frame knife, but have managed to keep a couple really exceptional ones ... a 6380 and a 6347 Select. THe tapered backspring and resulting thin feel of whittlers is a big advantage for me ...

Here is the most slender Whittler i have, a 3 1/4" silver Mappin & Webb Trustworthy from early 1900's. Mappin & Webb was in the same league as Jos. Rodgers during the Sheffield era. The Hallmarks show: sterling silver, from Sheffield in 1909. V. neat knife.

I picked up this unusual MOP whittler for a few bucks over the weekend at a local antique mall. Tang stamp is "J. Pritzlaff Hdwco. Milwaukee". The layout is traditional whittler with three blades, plus it has an additional file blade/tool on the back, lobster style. The MOP has a damaged area, but it is still a usuable knife. Is the tool for fingernail maintenance?

Old Cutler, I'm not an Oyster guy, but isn't that a tool to use on those shellfish? Just assumed, you know what that can mean.

It clearly appears to have two back springs separated by a wedge-shaped spacer. So it’s a conventional construction for a “whittler” pattern, and what has become generally called “split backspring”. However to me anyway, a “true split backspring” means it is made from a single spring, having a wedge divider splitting it on only one end. The other end remains one undivided piece.

That’s what I thought Ken but I know the thought varies. Appreciate the responses.

Ivoryman, that GEC looks stout! I’ve start whittling a bit, but the only real whittler pattern i have is a little Schrade Cut Co.

And I don’t want to tear it up so I save it for the detail work and use a Camillus electricians knife for the initial shaping.

Thanks Tony, Tom, BForce. Appreciate it. Wow, never had a "heart stopper" before, that's some praise. Thanks
BForce that's no slouch yourself, beautiful bones and all. Yeaaaaaaaaaah. Can see why you wouldn't want to mess it up. Me neither.
Thanks for the comments and happy viewing.
