Vintage Whittler Knives
Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
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.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
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.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
I'm adding this CAMILLUS "split spring", whittler pocket knife to this topic.
All blades have the 4 line tang stamp (early 1930's to the mid 1940's).
It measures 3 5/16 inches closed.

Re: Vintage Whittler Knives
Very recently I added this pocket knife to my general pocket knife collection. It's a Cattaraugus 32409, 3 blade, 3 3/8" closed, whittler pocket knife. I gave it a very light cleaning, took some pictures and here it is.
