Post um if you got um

I guess I will start this out with a No.18 SleeveBoard Whittler. Brown Bone, Split Spring, ATS-34 Blades.

the backside

This is the pattern I would like to know more about, the “43” Whittler, No.20. Here one is in Red Bone, Split Spring, D-2 Blades & a Double Bomb Shield. This is an older knife, notice how far the pins are away from the bolster.



Does anyone know why its called the "43" Whittler?

in the closed position.

Here is a Half Whittler in the “43” frame by Reese, except with a large wharncliffe blade. A.G. Russell Bone, ATS-34 Blades & a Federal Shield.

the backside

No.21, Rodgers Whittler

5 blade

in the close position...sort of

in a Shadow Pattern

Thanks Dwight...I have no background to speak of on all the Case Pattern Numerology. Too many to deal with and that's not throwing in all those dots.

No.36 Congress Whittler by Reese

Closed

The Last Catalog Whittler. No. 45...NorthField Whittler

One More of those

Next up...un-catalog'd Whiitlers

Anglo Saxon Whittler...or Cigar Whiittler



There is that Case number Dwight

one by Reese

This Whittler has some strange 2nd cut pressed stag. I believe the material came from England...then went back to England...which is good




(or is it Delrin?)

This is another Case Pattern Whittler - 6380

one by Reese

I cant really say what this is called
I refer to it a a Ballon SwellCenter Whittler


Cloud Shield and Elephant Ivory

And Last, but by no means Least, the LockBack Whittler

Those are all pretty amazing. Has Tony or Reese ever made the Case 83 pattern?

They could have Mike...maybe he/they will pipe in here to answer your question

I recieved an email shortly after ending my blitz today from a very nice man with some information that I really enjoyed....here it is

First the 43 Whittler

"Mr. Hughes is absolutely correct in that it being an older Case pattern. There is a more modern version of the "43" pattern which is an entirely different knife I know nothing about. The pattern Tony and Reese made is the old, original 43 pattern from around the turn of the century (second to last turn). It was made in the version you displayed in red bone as well as a version like it except in place of your clip point was the large wharncliff shown on the half whittler Reese made."

Below is another variation on this pattern

The Anglo Saxon Whittler

"As far as the pressed stag on the Anglo Saxon whittler goes, it's not very attractive,  but fairly correct to the original knife on which both Case, Tony, and Reese patterned their knives. Here are a few scans of an original IXL Anglo Saxon Knife from around 1900 or so which exhibits that same tight grained stag that so many English knives from that time period did.

It's about the only place you'll see it other than on that Bose knife you posted. I'm guessing someone across the pond wanted to get one hafted with as original scale material as possible as was available. There certainly isn't any of that stuff around these parts. Maybe the original was a pressed version as well. There are a lot of older English knives with similar "stag " on their sides, just no modern ones."

Below is a nice example of old "pressed stag"

You can see some of the older (up to about 1895 or so) Sheffield "exhibition" quality knives with truly drop-dead stag - and much of this has a super-fine patterning. I speculate that it came from a sub-species or isolated population of sambar deer that were long gone by 1900 or so.

Here is a knife from the J Greenhough Sheffield exhibition knives collection:
This is the sort of thing I think they were trying to recapture.

One can only scroll down quietly with their mouth agape. Wow.

Any Whittler would work well for carving wood Juan.

I'm breathless. Thank you so very much.
