I don't think I have shown this one here. It is a Hammer Brand, which I picked up for a buck because one of the original shell handles was gone and the other one damaged. So I did a "conversion" on it by making new brass liners, new brass bolsters, and rehandling with ironwood. These old Hammers will take a wicked sharp edge.

This 4" Wostenholm has a rugged and handsome look, if I do say so myself.

I would wait at least a week. That way you could enjoy the whittler at least a week cause a contract will be put out on you if you snap off two blades. ::skeptic::

I picked up this 3 and 3/8 inch Ulster cattle knife at a recent flea market for a fiver. Bone handled, no shield, steel liners and bolsters.

The people at flea markets here pretty much only are familiar with Case or Buck knives. Anything else like this Ulster are "off brands" to them.
