Advantages of Warncliffe Blade

[dondford]

They are my favorite for EDC. This one is a slightly modified Warnie that I carry every day. Mike

Mike:
This knife looks familiar ;>)
I have really enjoyed my City Knife.

I usually hang out in the Traditional forum, but I heard about this thread and thought I had something to add.

Here's Eddie White's latest creation, and my latest knife:

6-3/4" overall, 3-3/4" handle of sheephorn, 3" blade of 440C.

This is his first Wharncliff, on my request. I highly recommend him. www.Shadowknives.com.

I love Wharncliffs! Started with the Case Seahorse Whittler, and I haven't looked back.

This is a new model I will have at the Blade show. It is a self lock.

Warrencliffe blades really are usefull for everyday. You don't get the edge slipage that sometimes occurs with curved edges, and the tip is so easy to use. I like a modified warrencliffe with just a slight curve to the edge. About like an upside down drop point.

Bailey,

That is really nice. Looks like your table will be one of my early stops again this year.

 

[Bailey Bradshaw]

It will be great to see you and your wife again!!

Forgive the ignorant question here, but when you guys are talking about an edge with a slight curve, are you talking about a edge curving upward towards the spine or downward away from the spine. I think it's the latter, but just want to be sure.

Chris, I like to think as away from the spine as curve (or belly), and towards the spine as re-curve.

I really like wharncliffe blades, they are so useful for so many things. Here are a couple of mine, I'd like to have more:

The first one is a BRK&T TUSK. The second is a custom by Ray Laconico.

Here's a picture of one of my favorites. The very talented team of Jody & Pat Muller, Muller Forge.

I'd like to add the Bark River OMF knife as an excellent example of the "slightly-modified" wharncliffe style. Just the right hint of a belly on the point.
