A few Blade Show teaser pics

Rob Orlando · May 21, 2014

Rick has ground a handful of custom Bowies so far......

Here is the first look at the 3" wharncliffe blade, we'll be debuting both customs and productions at the show.

Holy crap!!!! Wow! Thanks for the teasers Rob.

Here I sit ...... breathing into a paper bag (again) staring wide eyed at my computer screen making faint mewing sounds.
Probably quite frightening to those who may encounter the sight, I must remember to lock the door.

Thanks Rob.

Great teasers! I love the little wharnie custom blades. They look so pointy! The awesomeness of those bowies goes without saying...

Holy Shi+!!!!

I'd love to have any one from the top photo and a production 3" Wharnie is a must-own.

Every day brings mixed outlook on my Blade attendance. These photos are a mixed bag of emotions for me.

LOVE that dark bronze!

I'll also add that a custom 3" hand-ground hollow-ground Wharnie is gonna be the cat's azz for a poking/slicing EDC.

There seems to be one wharnie without a swedge. Will there be two different custom wharnie blade styles....with and without swedge?

Nice anticipation post. Can't wait for more pictures.

They all have swedges, it's the angle of the picture causing that.

Thanks for the pics Rob! Very excited for the show :thumbup:

The two bowies on the far right look shorter - also due to camera angle or are they actually shorter (i.e. 3")?

No, they are all 3.5" (just perspective and placement).

Nice!

Rog, thanks Rich - I almost got excited but thought better of it

Some of those customs would make such nice good users

Damn I can't wait for Blade

Fully understand. I got to watch as Rick ground one of those Bowies, it is an amazing thing to watch how steady and smoothly he grinds these blades free hand (no rests or guides). I could never tell which one though because he is so damned consistent you couldn't possibly tell them apart.

When you got it, you got it. I'm continually amazed at how perfectly straight and even the grinds are, that they're done freehand is mind boggling to me.

I guess if it were easy, we'd all be making them
