For the whittler or the collector, this is a rare opportunity to buy a Richard Rogers Change Blade Knife. The 3-3/4" handle of green bone with mother-of-pearl inlay will accept any of the four furnished blades. These are four of the most useful blades available to whittlers; a 2-1/4" Spear point, 2-7/8" Clip point, 2-5/8" Spear Point blade and a 2-1/2" Wharncliffe blade. All four blades are ATS-34 at 59-61 Rc. The frame, bolster, latch and latch release are made of stainless tool steel. The four blades latch securely into the handle.
Schrade's program of working with handmade knifemakers to produce limited numbers of knives built to the designer's quality standards makes the knife available at about one-fourth of what it would cost from the maker himself. Whittlers wanting a custom knife for their work should look into this, but quickly as only 500 are being made. Suggested retail is $500.00.
