Vintage Whittler Knives
Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Here are a couple of old horn handled whittlers. The first one is a Sta-Sharp that is marked Sta-Sharp/S.R.& Co. It's the only Sta-Sharp that I've seen that doesn't really look like a Camillus made knife. The second one is an Ulster whittler, quite similar but a 3 5/8" pattern.
Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
That Ulster whittler is real nice looking msteele, fine condition. The horn has a great pattern.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Great looking knives guys!
I went back to my roots and whittlers were my favorite knives. I just picked up two , one from Ray at Sweetwater and one from Mike at Collectors knives
I will post pics of both when they get here.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Thanks Miller bros I picked it up at a yard sale for 12 dollars and I had to put it in my collection cause I had never seen one with that kind of handles I thought that they only used bone in the tested eraMiller Bro`s wrote:That is a real survivor, thanks for posting it

The handles on this one are extraordinary to me.I think natural bone,looks handmade.

Well used . I thought at first covers were ivory,but probably bone.
Both split spring,with tapered shim? Only vintage I think I have.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
msteele6, holy smokes, that is a batch of beauties. I realy like the swell centre with the square bolsters and the spear master blade and ebony handles in the first photo.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Thanks for the kind words MB and Danno. Danno, I love that swell center pattern myself, however, a confession, it's not marked Keen Kutter but rather Simmons Hardware.

Still a beautiful knife and made by the same company.msteele6 wrote:Thanks for the kind words MB and Danno. Danno, I love that swell center pattern myself, however, a confession, it's not marked Keen Kutter but rather Simmons Hardware.
