CASE vs Geppetto (Seahorses' "little brother"?)

Ok, I don't actually have one, YET, (it's been ordered now), but Tidioute (Great Eastern) recently introduced a new whittler pattern with a wharncliffe. The #57 pattern, known as the Geppetto Whittler looks somewhat like a smaller version of the Seahorse.

I've been wanting a smaller "Seahorse" for a while now. Nothing wrong with a Seahorse, mind you, but the 3.5" size of the Geppetto should fit real well in my pocket.

I had asked around CASE sites if they would consider a "Medium Seahorse" in the 3.5" range, and was told that there were no plans to make one. (They even went as far as locking the Seahorse up, for 3 years, in the CASE vauly.)

I even asked the folks at Smokey Mountain Knife Works if they could modify one of their Sleveboard whittlers with the addition of a wharncliffe, no luck there either.

Cant wait till I can try this one out.

Pics and a working review when mine arrives...

I still love it, Jan. I'll be glad when GE return to production of the wharncliffe variation. Nothing wrong with a clip, but I still prefer the wharnie for carving with.

BTW...where's your basket? Or did the dog eat your homework?
