A good locking Wharncliffe knife?

[JTR357]

The frame and bolsters are both stainless steel. The engraving on the bolsters actually looks hand done, but I don't know for sure. The scales are real stag.

The blade is 440C.

It's 4" closed and 7" open ( the blade is 3").

The lock is pretty unique , if you look at the picture you can see a little wheel behind the stud. The wheel rides along a groove in the bolster as the blade is opening and then locks into an indentation. The stud slides forward to unlock the blade.

Oh it's got a thumb lock,like kershaw's spec-bump(among others)?

I like it:thumbup:I like it very much

Thanks

Congratulations! One of my favorite knifes regardless of price.

If somebody should read this who hasn’t handled one: the blade is slightly thinner than most Spyderco knifes, which really complements the Wharncliffe design and the handle is very comfortable.

Congrats on getting the Centofante 4. I wish the Yojimbos were still in production. Those are some great knives.
