I've been doing some repairs for the last few days and have been looking at a few threads on old Remington knives and old knives in general. The 301 is a great knife, I really like it, but I hardly ever use the castration blade. And then I came across a few old whittlers, like this one

And I thought, 3 separate springs are basically cool, you can easily make something like a Whittler - move the large blade to the center and place 2 sheepsfoots on the sides on the other side, just need to make a notch for the nail on the other side

I've seen two-blade versions of the 301 on the forum but not this configuration, has anyone done this yet?

The Buck model 310 Whittler follows that pattern though a bit smaller than the 301.
I have a question, why does it matter? What is the advantage of this configuration?

Gorgeous! Thank you =) I didn't even know this model existed

I don't know about the advantages, but if the whittler has such a configuration and it has been established for several centuries, then it definitely makes sense. Perhaps modern people don't cut with them enough to understand this sence. Think maybe I should try asking the question to the whittlers collectors, maybe they know the answer
