Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
I posted this S&M on another thread long ago. It is the most vintage whittler I have. I believe it is just shy of 40 years.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Nice knives everyone! Hopefully more pictures will follow.
RDKnives: Thanks, I'm glad you liked them.
MRB: Thank you. Boker also made that same style knife in pearl, though I don't have one. What brand is the one you have in pearl?

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
It`s obvious Robeson Cutlery Co. liked Whittler knives, quite a selection Charlie
They also proudly display a whittler on their knife box label as I posted earlier.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Thanks, everyone. I didn't mean to overload the thread, but MB asked for vintage whittlers.
That beautiful stag whittler of Slim's is marked "Peter Hendrichs".
Interestingly, I used to work with an elderly anesthesiologist named Peter Hendrichs. I decided I was going to find him a knife with his name on it and searched Ebay every day for over a year and nothing ever appeared.
However, I think if I'd found a stag whittler like that one, Dr. Pete would never have gotten it.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Dimitri, what marque is that swell-center, balloon-ended ebony handled knife?
And that etched Empire always amazes me.
K7K posted a surprising array of knives, as usual.
"SlimPickins", your collection does not live up to your name. Premium knives, all. I especially like that stag Hendrichs. Is it as long as it appears?

It is not a whittler It is a 4-blade pen knife, but the handles are grooved Pearlthegreedygulo wrote:MRB: Thank you. Boker also made that same style knife in pearl, though I don't have one. What brand is the one you have in pearl?
