Nice whittlers guys!

Here are two NYKC whittler pattern folders I have recently acquired. The swell center (tuxedo) Whittler has tortoise shell handles and is most likely pre 1900. The Wharncliffe whittler is most probably post 1900. The Wharncliffe is 3 inches closed and is Hammer Brand marked and the swell center is 2 & 7/8 inches closed and is NON Hammer Brand marked.

Good ones, Lloyd. I think the tuxedo pattern is greatly under appreciated by many in the knife collecting universe. Nice! ::tu::

Beautiful old Schrade, Ivoryman. Very nicely photographed!

Two very nice old whittlers, Duffer. Great patina! The jigging on the wharncliffe is kind of unusual.

Thanks Mel! I don’t think my camera focused properly on the Wharncliffe handles as they are kind of distorted or slightly out of focus. It is the usual early NYKC pick bone jigging.

This is kind of a fancy whittler. Three back springs, pinched grooved slanted bolsters, punch blade and etched.

A very recent arrival. This is a CAMILLUS 60, 3 blade, 3 1/8" closed, milled liners, "split spring" whittler pocket knife. It needed very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.
