Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Some nice whittlers Greg.
I have just a couple. Here's is one; early SW 836 with all blades stamped. Well used but you can tell it's of fine quality.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
I was going through my Whittlers this morning and took some pics. Some of these are probably repeats so you'll have to forgive me for that but I do so like these old girls so here they are.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
A few more. One of these is of course not a true whittler but we all know the story on that.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Those are really nice old whittlers, Greg. Worthy of being shown twice in my opinion.
About that last one with the funny blade placement .... you could probably get someone to move that pen down there at the other end
and make it a real whittler.

Thanks Joe! Moving that pen blade is liable to cause an uprising in the 72 faithful.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Greg that's a really nice bunch of my favorite pattern.
Even that last, deformed one! Somebody should take that one and make a nice scout knife out of it.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
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.

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