I've got these two knives. They are called Warren Whittlers I think. They were made by Schrade I think and sold in pairs I have no idea if they are still in production or when they were made. If you can find some they work really well and hold a razor edge. Sorry photos won't show up.

Dan, those Warren Whittlers with the box set & paperwork are going for +$175 on FleaBay today. They were a limited edition (I believe around 2000 sets) made in the early 80's. Really nice knives - but pricey. Decent steel ATS-34 (almost positive).

Hey there,
I saw those knives on Ebay as well. The knives in those sets have a plackard on the handle. Mine don't. I think these may be older or perhaps were just packaged differently. The history on them is that I inherited them from an old carver who in turn inherited them from another old carver. They cut nice though!

Take care,
Dan

I don't use pocket knives for "serious" whittling. I do use an Old Timer 330T for doing twig chickens and the like, Sharpens well and keeps an edge. Unfortunately I think they have gone out of business. I have seen some MIC (made in China) and they don't sharpen nearly as well.
