I think the larger whittlers were called a "carpenter's Whittler" The thing with whittlers is they have so many different sub categories. Split back, Spline back, humpback, etc. As for the small blades on the Seahorse: If Case had made the Seahorse with a split back, they could get larger secondary blades on the knife. As it is, larger secondary blades would probably create significant blade rub and possible even have the blades crossing or not closing all the way because the channel would be too tight. They really should add a center spline and get some more functional small blades on the knife. Also, I've heard from a representative of Winchester knives, that Utica came out with the tapered spacer on whittlers. According to the rep, when the the two back springs get wider its a "split back", if the knife has a tapered spacer between the back springs its a "spline back." The spline back was supposed to be an improvement on the split back. Supposedly it lessened the chance of the springs breaking. I don't know how much of the last part is true. But it was the sales pitch. Most people (including me, often have called both versions as a split back.) Fun video. You're so correct. No good, no bad, just different versions. We all have our personal preferences.

Cool idea! I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome knife and history

Good video with some good information! You did a great job!

Good stuff buddy! Thanks for sharing this!

I love to see some mods and experimentation! I'll be looking for the next video.

That dremel drill press is an absolute game changer! I dont regret buying it at all. Great video brother!

Great new format! makes me think of all those essays from English class--compare and contrast to reach a deeper understanding

Looks like a fun learning experience. I have found that generally when something looks easy, it really isn't. Keep us updated on your progress. Take care and have a great blessed weekend.

Of corse you need to put some kond of spacer in there to male you don't mess up the pins.

I think something that looks good and is easy to do is hammer it with a bullpen hammer.

Shrade Walden is my pick of the 3

Fun video, appreciate the comparison of the different knives. Have a great blessed day and stay warm.

a cool Cattaraugus Wrench Knife W-1 just sold on ebay..

9:50 Cat sighting,

I have a Case Seahorse whittler in Damascus. The main blade is substantial, but the two smaller blades seem very fragile. There is no play and knife is well built, but the two secondary blades are very thin.

6:04 The main blade is substantial.

Appreciate the up close comparison of the 3 brands...Like a little more robust blade in my slipjoints...looking forward to other vids in this series....Have a great weekend.....

3:32 I like the Case Seahorse whittler pattern.

That’s a fine looking case! The cars are superb!

I really like my green barnboard whittler from Case. Easy to find right now! I personally like the smaller blades, if only because I think the finer whittling tasks would be better served with a thinner, less tall blade.

Gerade so älteres, poliertes Modell für einen schmalen Kurs bei Ebay geschossen!🎉😛

RR tortoise is excellent, of course so are the Tidioute models.

I know there are too many blade types to cover in one video, but just as an afterthought, I remembered the fleam blade. 🩸 🫣 thanks again. 😊

An excellent blade ramble, Rasputin. Very enjoyable. Thanks much.

Very nice job! Good info and nice knives!

Very interesting! Enjoyed checking this out my friend!

Must have been fresh haircut day. 💁‍♂️😅. Very nice peanuts and good information to go with them. Two of my favourite WWII planes. Have a great day!

So my favorite clip on a Case stockman I always heard and called a Turkish or also referred as California. Your Turkish eliminated that so is it California or modified clip? Or something else?

Awesome pieces of history! Cheers, buddy!

Beautiful pair of knives and planes. My late uncle was a WWII pilot and to remember him I got a tattoo of his plane. ❤

Sweet looking knives. Awesome P51 and Corsair. The tv show Baa Baa Black Sheep helped to make that plane popular.

Thanks for showing us the collection! For the Victorinox parcel hook, they’re more for carrying parcels than for opening them. With a parcel hook you can turn a piece of string into a comfortable way to carry something awkward (pile of firewood, stack of books, etc.). It’s also great for anything with thin, uncomfortable handles (grocery bags, buckets, etc.)

That John Primble knife was likely made about a mile and a half from me here in Louisville Louis-ville Belknap and John Primble hardware closed up in 1985 .

I subscribe to it, too. Always enjoyable. But, I like the info from good ol’ Rasputin, too👍

Oh and lots of 👍🏻Mike....

Enjoyable history and cool way to tell what the handle material is. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

Great jam Mike!

Same taste in jams...🤘🏼

Those are soo cool Mike! Wow! I'd love to have a 200 year old knife in my collection. I think the oldest knife in my collection is only 35 years old, just a young lady. But I do have one of the oldest things on the face of the planet. Much older than 200........ Can you guess? Hint: it's made of metal as well..

The pins look like brass to me, not nickel silver.

Awesome history and the knife is very special. The Terror was an excellent series on Netflix by the way. Agree wholeheartedly Sir

Great video. Thank you so very much for the history. Very informative and interesting how many companies were merging and changing names around and during this time in history. It seems so meticulous to investigate and analyze a specific time period for the knife. Also thank you for the mention of the black light to distinguish ivory,and bone.

Cool video 😊

Knife wars in the woods! Wow! Some great history here Michael! Love the diamond shield!! Whats old is new again! Thanks for sharing!

Another good one, the history is fun.
