I have a huge soft spot for Boxers. I grew up with them, they are such wonderful companions. Sadly my most recent on, Allie, passed on a couple years ago from heart disease. She was just over a year old too.

Beautiful Ironwood on that 25.

I scooped up another Case 31 and figured I would put the two I have now together in a photo for Wooden Wednesday.

Thanks Dylan. Boxers really do make great additions to the family. This one has the greatest temperament you could look for. Woody is my grandson's pal. He's not going to be happy next week when my grandson returns to school.
Nice pair of 11031SH Case's. Real workhorses.

That's a good question. I am no expert on Case knives. In fact, this is the one pattern that they have done that I really, really like. However, I do believe the Whaler is something different. I've seen them with end caps and bails but perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can chime in.

I was told these are Case 11031SH or 31 Regular Jack.

Jack, the Whalers are a bit bigger, they're stainless vs CV Steel, and have bails. Those are regular Sheeps.

Thanks for the clarification, Bob. I didn't know about the steel difference.

much obliged for the info Bob, ive been deceived by some examples on the bay recently

The 31 I just picked up, the older of the two in the photo, was actually advertised as a Whaler, so I can certainly understand your confusion.
 
There ya go Mark. That shows some of the differences between the two. I see the 11031SH which is what Dylan posted, often erroneously called Whalers quite a lot. Especially on the auction site.

Same here, Bob. Any time you see a walnut handle and sheepsfoot blade its usually referred to as a Whaler. Actually, I prefer the 11031.:thumbsup:

Congrats on your additional wooden sheepsfoot Case, Dylan!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Such simple, yet elegant, knives! :cool:

Here is a Whaler. It is Cases 99 pattern. Bigger than the 31.

Thanks for the photo, Mark. 99 or 31, they're both extremely appealing "simple working knives" IMHO!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

Speaking of simple, here's a wood-handled knife assigned to kitchen duty this week. Probably an example that, compared to the Cases, is simple, yet INelegant, but I still like it a lot! ;):thumbsup:
