KNIFE MODIFICATION ~ Redux

From time to time there comes an inner creative urge to the Wood Bee Carver to tinker again with making Other Knives for personal use utilizing rescued pocket knife blades. The process includes reshaping the blades into experimental shapes to enhance the Whittle-Carving experience as well as shaping the handles. Here is the latest results […]

3 CLOWNS

The three clowns of this carving project are a repeat performance of previously carved clowns of similar appearance. Each is carved from a six inch tall by an inch and half square block of basswood and finished with artist oil paint thinned with boiled linseed oil. Two of the clowns are based upon a similar […]

Comment by Ron Cooper on October 23, 2012 at 2:03: Do any of you own a "Courthouse Whittler?" And if you do, how do you like it for whittlin'? I've only seen pictures of them but for some reason feel the need to own one. I would love to hear some thoughts about them. Anyone?

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on December 11, 2011 at 15:39: I just missed a great Fight'n Rooster whittler on Ebay...so sad.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on December 7, 2011 at 18:52: The more whittler patterns I see, the more I want to collect them.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on December 7, 2011 at 12:47: I mean those that have whittler as part of their name.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on December 7, 2011 at 10:21: The only problem with this is that a whittler needs to only have two major distinctions, 1 - the main blade is at opposite ends with the secondary blades, and 2 - the main blade falls in between the secondaries when closed.

The big task is to try to find all different blade variations, frame styles and backspring configurations.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on December 7, 2011 at 10:08: Ivan, anyone that knows of some of the patterns can list them. I recently learned of the Ballroom Whittler. A favorite of mine that is seldom seen is the Cotton Sampler Whittler.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on November 27, 2011 at 16:08: Someone in this group that is knowledgable in the whittler pattern could list all the different whittler patterns might get some fire going in this group.

Comment by Jan Carter on October 11, 2011 at 18:42: Ken,

I do love your whittlers and this is no exception. Great Work

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 5, 2011 at 9:51: Bout missed this one. Locking Wharnie. Great work, Ken.

KnifeMaker Comment by Ken Erickson on April 29, 2011 at 8:44: And here is a matching pair of whittlers, one in ivory and one in bone. These are like the Case #80 pattern.
