Comment by Jan Carter on February 22, 2015 at 12:25: good catch there Michael. I am sure there is another one that would love to come out and play with some wood

Comment by Michael Squier on February 22, 2015 at 11:25: 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.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 21, 2015 at 18:15: Don't neglect the secondaries, Michael. Be good detail blades.

Comment by Michael Squier on February 21, 2015 at 11:21: Thanks John, Linden NJ, that makes sence. the blade is marked Germany so they must have just been an importer.

Comment by Michael Squier on February 21, 2015 at 10:38: 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.

In Memoriam Comment by John McCain on February 21, 2015 at 9:48: 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.

Comment by Michael Squier on February 21, 2015 at 8:42: 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.

Comment by Jan Carter on February 16, 2015 at 17:40: Michael, let us know how this works out for you?

Comment by Michael Squier on February 16, 2015 at 17:12: yup, just like that. So its off to the cheese shop to buy a french knife.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 16, 2015 at 10:23: I use a diamond cutoff wheel on a Dremel, and finish it off with a sanding drum, Michael. Opinel will do a fine job...
