Three Versatile Carbon Steel Blades

The American Workman Seahorse Whittler features three traditional carbon steel blades designed for a variety of cutting and detail-oriented tasks.

• Wharncliffe Blade: The distinctive primary blade features a straight cutting edge and downward-curving spine, making it especially useful for controlled cuts and precision work.

• Coping Blade: A compact, straight-edged blade traditionally associated with whittling and controlled detail work.

Case carbon steel is appreciated by traditional knife enthusiasts for its cutting performance and ease of sharpening.

Carbon Steel Care: Carbon steel can develop a natural patina with use. Clean and dry the blades after use and apply a light coat of oil periodically to help prevent corrosion.
