Nope! That Copperlock is saweeet though! I don't think anything needs to be said about the Seahorse. Much respect there.

Both knives I bought have the same frame, but one has two blades and the other is a single. You know where I've been buying most of my slip joints, so that's damn near a dead giveaway.

Yeah, that narrows it down to one pattern in particular. On the two blade version what bone did you go with?

2xTap

I will refrain from mentioning the color for fear of more upset. $:-\$ What scales are those on the Copperlock?

That right there told me what color you got! And I think you got the last one he had too.

That Wharnie Copperlock is done in Leopard Skin Bone.

Then I might have the color you chose wrong, is it from the 2005 run or 2007?

You have the color right. I wanted the '05, but it was sold out before I bought the '07. I'm usually one for more subdued colors, so this one will be shocker. I do like the shield on the '07 better though.

Ok I think I must say outta this sub forum. March 30th is my last day at my job. The company I work for lost there contract with the coal mine and so 42 of us are without jobs as of the 30th. Now I want a damn seahorse. I must leave, turn off my PC and never return.

Very sorry to hear that Ash. I hope things start looking up and you can hang around. You'll be missed around here.

I'm staying but you guys make me want things I know I cant have.

I was figuring you'd opt for the '05 with it's more caramel hue......the '07 definitely pops. And I'm with you on the shield, the '07 has a better look.

I find the whole of MTO is like that

Ash tough break

, I hope something turns up soon

I got this Aussie made slippie the other day , it is a Whittingslowe 41 Stockman's knife.
Whittingslowe went bust in the late 1950's so this old girl is in pretty good nick.

I love that the knife's pins are not brass a nice contrast

Nice ~~Douk Douk~~ pocket knife, Matt.

It'd be nice to see a modern knife made to similar appearance because it looks to be a nice little pattern and style.

Whittingslowe is not a very well known knife making company as it was established in the 1920's & it folded in the 1950's. It was based in South Australia my adopted home state.I have seen a paint scrapper & a pee shelling devise made by Whittingslowe

.I think the item they made most of was military issue clasp knives in the BAK style. The knives were issued too Aussie , Commonwealth & US service men during WWII.They also made utility/fighting knife;

I have seen these for sale on US Ebay so I reckon they got issued to US soldiers.These knives go for quite a bit.
Their Commando knife is quite well sort after & goes for even more than the utility knife;

All the info I have gotten on Whittingslowe has come from here ---->http://military-knives.110mb.com/whittingslowe.html
The site owner, John was happy for me to post links to his site.

Cool history of Whittingslowe.

It looks like you got a great example of the 41 there MM. The blades appear to be nearly full and the frame is in excellent condition!

David · **Reply #1074 on:** March 29, 2011, 06:35:18 PM

Wharnies!

I hope to get some better natural light pics of these later. I highly recommend Case's Antique Second Cut Bone, BTW. That's what the single-blade trapper at the top of the pic is wearing. It makes for an excellent gent's knife.

Very nice trio of Wharnies. And that Orange Bone does pop! Just something about Wharncliffes and slipjoints, they just go so well together. Nice snags bud!

Look forward to your natural light pics.

Thanks man. Honestly, I'm not likely to keep the orange trapper. The color of the bone is not really my taste, and I don't really like the profile of the clip blade. IMO, they didn't leave the blade full enough, it's not very deep from spine to edge at any point along the blade. I've never been a big fan of trappers because I don't think I'd use the long spey much. The wharncliffe is very nice, just not nice enough to change my mind about that particular trapper. Maybe I'll try a full-size wharnie trapper next time.

What can I say, I'm more of a jack or whittler kinda guy. The single-blade trapper is

in person though. Nearly as

as the swayback.
