I am a little short on funds this month, otherwise I wouldn't be posting this. This one is special. A one-of-a-kind model from David, so I will let his own words do the work.
So named for its unusually (ridiculously?) long wharncliffe blade, this was a one-off in AEB-L, featuring some elements common in my other designs, notably a neutral and minimalistic handle, and aggressive blade to handle angle for increased cutting leverage. The shape of this knife represents a foundation upon which I will almost certainly build more knives of various styles. Just imagine the knife below with a bit of a pinky hook added onto the handle, or some belly on the blade, or with slight changes in proportions. This is how many of my designs come about, being modified versions of my own previous designs, or pieces influenced by designs from other makers. When you think about it, Wharndiculous is basically a Prevail with a slightly longer wharncliffe blade, and no kick, hump, or pinky hook.
Truly a magnificent knife, but I haven't used it in over six months, so it is only fair that I send it on to it's new home. I have to insist that whoever buys this takes good care of it, even though the AEB-L takes care of itself.
Specs
Steel: .118" AEB-L, 59-60 RC
Geometry: Full flatvex, ~.020" behind the edge
Overall Length: 9 1/16"
Cutting Edge Length: 4 9/16" (!)
Weight: 3.2 oz
Handle: black and green layered canvas Micarta, blue G10 pins
Comes with a kydex sheathe
