Half-whittler, half-trapper, half congress, etc. Years ago a knife manufacturer (Case) took a pattern they produced as a whittler and sold it with only two blades (pattern # 6208 1/2 – i.e. an ordinary penknife). To make it sound desireable they called it a “half-whittler.” (Whittlers are defined as having three blades. Likewise, a trapper with only one blade is an ordinary jack knife. Congress pattern knives can have any number of blades starting with one. Ergo, these half-designations are bogus, but online sellers love them.)
