Excited to receive this Case Brothers Seahorse Whittler in ATS-34.

The Seahorse Whittler (a Case trademark; referred to as a Wharncliffe Whittler or English Whitter by others) is an interesting pattern.  The first time I ever saw one, I remember thinking it was incredibly ugly.  Holding this one in hand, I begin to appreciate the utility of the pattern, at least as a dedicated whittling knife.  It also has a couple of features that I really like to see in any traditional knife, including no exposed sharp corners when the knife is closed and a blade that can be pinched open.

Besides not being a fan of wharncliffe main blades in general, the blades on this pattern are just small.  Even the main blade only measures about 2.3”, in spite of the knife being 4” closed.  Not a problem for a dedicated whittler, but not necessarily ideal for a general use pocketknife.  A lot of knives boast main blades around 2.5” at only 3.25” closed, or alternatively, knives that are about 4” closed often have at least one blade that is 3.3” or longer.

W&T and F&F on this example are very good.    It came to me as a used knife, and though the blades look pristine, it has no box and a crack in one of the scales, so it is going in the user pile.

 :like: Congrats.  A single blade or 2 blade would also be pretty great.  I guess then it wouldn't be a whittler  :facepalm:.

Though I wasn’t initially familiar with the maker, I was pumped to score what appears to be a sowbelly stockman handmade by one Mark Entwistle.

Other than the “Entwistle” maker’s mark on the main clip blade, there are no other markings anywhere on the knife, but the CoA indicates ATS-34.

Fit and finish are excellent.  All blades open and close cleanly, though the pull is on the lighter side (nothing wrong with that IMO).

Case is trying their hand it at again.

I figured that when they started using S35VN on the Kinzua and Marilla when they were introduced, they would do a traditional folder in the steel.

Handles are burnt amber jig bone. The MSRP is $142, but the street price is under $100 at $95.

I'm hoping they do some in Magnacut as well, seeing as an SMKW special run uses that steel.

I’m glad to see this.  I’ve long thought Case was missing the boat by not offering some of their traditional patterns in higher end steels as part of their regular lineup at a reasonable premium to their standard SS and CV.  Hopefully they continue adding patterns to the lineup.

I wonder if it was a limitation of equipment? As in their nick-cutting equipment couldn't handle S35VN, so they just cut them out when the blades were laser-cut/blanked?

Anyway, the cutouts remind me of some off-shore made knife (i.e. Frost), or Swiza (which also aren't that great).

Very nice Case is offering trads with premium steels.  I'm not liking the cutouts either.  Maybe this is something they'll continue  :think:.

The e-mail that Shepherd Hills sent me claimed the holes were for easy opening. Not sure if Case awlso made that claim. Based solely on my experience with my Bear & Son 109, it could be a dubious claim.

Fair enough but even with my short nails and thick fingers I've not had issues with nail nicks.  Those cutouts IMO uglifies the blades.
