The Bulldog Wharncliffe Whittlers were made in 2002 and 2003, and come in three sizes.

3-7/8" 2-5/8" 1-5/8"

Blades:

  • Wharncliffe
  • Pen
  • Coping

All blades have a "match strike" nail nick on the larger 4-1/8" knifes, and there are plain nail nicks on the other two knives.

There are two types of frosted blade etching:

  • Double Doghead
  • Seductress

Note that the etch of the upper right scroll is slightly different on the small knives. (Photo below)
