I talked to Jim and he said you must own a Spiney Oyster (only 39 made) Seahorse in order to be wear a cape. Got one? And if so, can you sew? :)
A group for the collector and user of the CASE Seahorse Whittler and other Wharncliffe Whittler styles.
Other Whittler collectors are welcomed and encouraged to join in.

- Hi Bob,
Sorry to take so long to get back to you about the possibility of you doing a custom Seahorse Whittler for my grandson. The Flaming Edge Grevillea that you did is one of my favorites, but I haven't seen one that you did that I didn't like. If you would prefer to use a particular kind of scales, I'm sure that we could work it out.
Thanks,
frankplant

- Bob,
I sent off an email to you; as you suggested. Looking forward to hearing back from you about doing a special horsie for my grandson.....and don't worry about commenting to yourself. When you start answering yourself; that's the time to be concerned!
Thanks,
frank

- Hi Frank,
As you can see, I haven't been to iKC much lately (forgive me Scott!), but have a BUNCH of great friends here. Personally, my Seahorse collection isn't big at all, but it does have some nice ones in it. I am a huge Case fan though. My preferred model to collect is the 83 pattern Whittler but, if I see one I like, I don't let little things like model number hold me back.
I've got to warn you that I'm not particually fast on my knife work, but would be glad to do one for your Grandson (as a Grandparent myself, how can I refuse?). Give it some thought as to what handle material might have special meaning or appeal to you and the lad and give me a shout at pickle@cinci.rr.com and we'll work something out.

- Hi Bob,
I saw your workmanship on the Seahorse Whittlers. I'm fairly new at collecting Case knives with my 11 year old grandson.. J.J. encouraged me to buy a Seahorse, and I got hooked...have 12 at present. I'd love to have you do a special one for my grandson.
Regards,
frankp

Just in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by. Hope all is well and you are having a good summer. I can't wait for cooler temps. It's hot down in here in Alabama :)
