Comment by John Bamford on February 14, 2015 at 2:12: $65 for the cheaper version sounds pretty good to me , I can't see the need for the more expensive ones , it will have to go on the list.

The list is getting a bit long though , always more knives than money seems to be a cosmic truth.

Comment by John Bamford on February 14, 2015 at 2:07: That looks just perfect for whittling , I remember seeing them around a few years ago. Didn't know they were D2 , I would think that would be ideal if you can handle the sharpening.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 14, 2015 at 1:32: I googled "oar carver", to find out what it said, and found half a dozen links to knives in the photo gallery, here at iKC. Thought that was cool.

Comment by Ron Cooper on February 13, 2015 at 22:00: Cool knife, Miss Jan!

What's the closed length on that puppy? And, what does the writin' on that shield say? I clicked on "View Full Size" and all that did was flip the pic upside down.

Another thing about this knife that's really drawing me to it is that it's a canoe pattern. I'm not terribly drawn to more traditional patterns, but there are some exceptions, the canoe being a huge one (they just feel good to use, & then there's the Minnesota outdoorsman in me, canoes are just essential!).

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 13, 2015 at 21:22: Wonder if someone will have one at the Charlott Woodcarvers show, next weekend.
Love those...http://www.goestores.com/storename/stadtlandercarvings/ViewDept-272...

Comment by Bob Robinson on February 13, 2015 at 21:21: Great information Jan. I have never seen one but like it a lot. I really like the scales and the canoe frame.The sheath is awesome also.

Comment by Jan Carter on February 13, 2015 at 20:50: The Oar Carver knives were designed by Ross Oar and are manufactured in the USA by Queen Cutlery.

Oar Carvers come in the following varieties: Fixed Blade, Double Bladed Folding Pocket Knife, and Single Bladed Locking Pocket Knife.

The Double Bladed Folding Pocket Knife comes in two styles: the Version I which has two 1 3/4 inch long blades and the Version II which has one detail blade, 1 3/16 inch long, and one 1 3/4 inch long blade. All blades are made from D2 tool steel (high carbon, high chromium), which has excellent edge holding properties and all knives are custom made for woodcarving.
