good catch there Michael. I am sure there is another one that would love to come out and play with some wood
I think I may leave this one alone. on closer inspection one of the brass liners buckles when you open the main blade, and the rivets holding the pearl on are loose near the buckling end. I dont want to crack the scales under carving forces. oh well.
I just took a second look and the Linden Whittler is fancier than I said. It has pearl scales and sculpted nickle silver bolsters. Im sure its value is not great so I may just put an edge on the main blade and whittle away.
Michael, Goins' Encyclopedia lists a Linden Knife Co. of Linden, NJ. No dates, tang stamps, or further info given. Blade's Guide to Knives & their Values just gives the same info, only adding that they are in the Medium range as to knife value.
While organizing my knives and noting them in a book, using Levines guide, I found that I have an old whittler among my folders. I never really read the definition before.
Its made by Linden (not Linder) not listed in my old copy of Levines, anyone ever heard of them? I'll habe to take a picture and post it. Not a pretty knife, its got plain metal scales and has been well used.
Michael, let us know how this works out for you?
yup, just like that. So its off to the cheese shop to buy a french knife.
I use a diamond cutoff wheel on a Dremel, and finish it off with a sanding drum, Michael. Opinel will do a fine job...
