Very nice stag 5-blade. Don't see too many of those.

I carry this whittler pattern a few times a week I love the blade configuration on true Whittlers..I don't care so much for the handle engraving but it's a well built knife and loves pocket time!

You've got a handle (name) why shouldn't the little knife? I also like that pattern.
