Little 863 whittler
This little bugger showed up on Ebay. The little clip blade was heavily scratched and it has a few rustmarks. Apart from that it doesn´t look like it has been used very much. I didn´t have a swell-center in my collection up to now so this is a nice addition.

Excellent find Skipper. Are you going to carry it or does it just go into the pile?

Re: Little 863 whittler
@Grant: Great collection! Someone said Schrades are addicive, I guess he was right as I now want more of those Whittlers!
@Jerry: All those US patterns and brands are a bit hard to get here in Germany so I am a bit reluctant to use my precious finds. It´s a bit embarrassing but I keep EDC´ing a chinese made Sowbelly for several month meanwhile...
