The whittler pattern has been a very popular pattern among customers and collectors for a long time. The whittler features three blades: a large primary blade, often a clip or spear point, and two smaller secondary blades, such as a pen blade and a coping or pen blade. This configuration allows for precision in various tasks, from detailed carving to general cutting needs.
The first whittlers were made in Sheffield, England well over 200 years ago and typically featured genuine stag or mother of pearl handles. Eventually these knives made it to America and were produced by early New England makers such as Empire, Holley Mfg Co and Miller Brothers. Later on in the 20th century big companies such as Remington, Case, Schrade Cut Co all featured whittlers in their catalogs. To this day, whittlers fetch a premium and their many different sizes, handle shapes and handle materials make them fun to collect.
