I'm not familiar with that brand but that is sure some good looking jigged bone

A keeper there for sure Jdub.

Is this a true split-back knife? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3885425876

Hopefully, someday. Thanks for the pic Tom.

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.

Schrade, GEC, Queen.

The Schrade is a heart-stopper, I-man.

Very Nice Ivoryman!

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.

[Ivoryman]

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.

Beautiful scales on that Schrade! Love the patina of the blades.

[Ivoryman]

Thanks doglegg and papa bones, appreciate it.

This is one of my favorite Schrade knives, their 1989 issue 85th Anniversary whittler. Sterling and Sambar. What's not to like?

[oldpocketknives]

Wow, love the stag on that Schrade! Nice warm colors.

Thanks for the comments! The way Schrade toasted their sambar knives make it one of my personal favorite handle choices and I'm always on the hunt for more knives with them.

Here's another Schrade 804-type whittler made for Mountain Whittlers Knife Club. One of the first Schrade "Heritage" series whittlers produced. Their Heritage series were first introduced in 1983 and usually had the year on the shield. These knives with their 1982 blade etch would mark them as one of the first uses of the new Heritage 8041 tang-stamps. These red bone handles look pretty good too with nickel silver bolsters.

Very Nice!!

Time to resurrect this thread. I thought I had more whittlers in my collection. To my surprise I only have these. I sell a lot a whittlers in my store, seems like they move just about as fast as any pattern of knife.
I recently picked up the Joel Chamblin in the middle with the gold pins. It’s called a Gentleman’s Pen Knife, but to me it looks like a half whittler, so I am including it in these photo’s. I think my favorite whittler is the “fiddle back” pattern or as some call it the split backspring whittler. Again, I only have two, the Rigid by Canal Street and the Robeson. For being one of my favorites, I sure am lite on whittlers.

[Ivoryman]

Great #$!@^&) group. Wow, what some lookers.


Here are a GEC 38 for the 2018 OKCA show knife, a Northwoods GEC 38 Willamette whittler, and 2014 Case Seahorse.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Thanks Ivoryman. I like that line up of yours too. The Willamette whittler is pretty sweet. I hope to get one of those and a Grindling someday. Maybe when the prices come back to earth on them.

[Dinadan]

AI agree that it is time to bring this thread back to life, SSK. Nice whittlers that you have! I would not count on the GEC prices ever coming back to earth.

Three beautiful knives, Ivoryman.

Here are four of my whittlers. Hibbert Spencer and Bartlett top left, Frank Buster top right, Coles bottom right, Bulldog bottom left.
