The Half Whittler '08WH is a two-bladed version of the Whittler '08 pattern with a clip point master blade on one end and a pen blade on the other. The Whittler pattern has been around for nearly 80 years, and they've put a lot of wood chips on the floor. This version comes with Tru-Sharp stainless steel blades and rugged Rogers Corn Cob Jig Antique Bone covers.
Blades: Per the established Half Whittler pattern, this folder features a full-size clip point at one end and a compact pen blade at the other. Both blades are made from bright polished Tru-Sharp stainless steel with shallow hollow grinds and nail nick openers. The blades open smoothly from the closed position with a solid snap from the back spring keeping the blade secure and ready to use.
Handle: Antique bone handle covers offer an attractive rustic style with Rogers Corn Cob Jig texture for added traction. They are attached to brass liners with brass pins in the traditional style. The scales are bordered by polished nickel silver bolsters and adorned with the Case Bow Tie shield.
Case Tru-Sharp: Case Tru-Sharp is another name for 420HC, a stainless steel that provides excellent rust resistance, ease of re-sharpening and moderate edge retention while being exceptionally tough for a stainless steel. With appropriate heat treatment it is said to preform similarly to VG-10 in wear resistance.
