Very nice bunch of old whittlers, Greg. Nothing wrong with a repeat photo, in my opinion, anyway!

Here is a Friedr. Herder, Abr.Sohn ivory 3 1/4" sleeve board whittler with the crossed keys logo. Very nicely made including milled liners. Likely dates to late 1800's. The seller described the handles as "faux-ivory" but the cracks seen at 2 of the end pins are typical of the real thing and indeed it is faux "faux-ivory".
This is a good example of the excellent pocket knives being made in Solingen in late 1800's to early 1900's. Note quite to the extreme level of Jos. Rodgers or IXL Wostenholm workmanship of that time period, but close.

Nice knife with super looking bone Jdub ::tu:: ::tu:: ... I thought I had heard that Challenge Cut made Lakeside knives - bone looks to be very similar to Challenge in this case anyway..

Thanks guys!! The Master blade indeed is very nicely done. The swedge on both sides are even, and where they place the nail Nick is in the perfect location. Great old knife for sure.

Beautiful knife all around Justin. 3 7/8”?

Here is a very well made vintage equal end whittler. 3 3/8", secondary blades marked: "IXL/George/Wostenholm/Celebrated/Cutlery" The master blade has the same marking except the top line "IXL" is absent. This marking dates 1850-1890. Secondaries have half stops and all snaps are crisp and there is zero play anywhere. In the picture of knife spine note how slender and tightly fit the tapered center divider is. Very skilled workmanship and all done with hand tools.
About 150 years old, used and still works as well as one day one. I think it's remarkable.

I was very happy to find this one, it has a few issue's but overall pretty nice. Blades are snappy and tight, stag is nice, at 4 1/2" it's a handfull.

Haven't found a pic of this blade configuration on a Remington 7756 though. Anyway I'm... :D
