Anybody else like wharncliffes? (pic included)

[richard rosvall]

I've always been partial to this blade style, feel they make a great utility knife. This is my latest rendition- O-1 steel, ivory Micarta, red liners, stainless fittings. 5 1/4" oal, 2 1/4" cutting edge.

What do you think?

I think it's a beauty, a real work of art.

The wharncliff is my favorite blade shape. One of the absolute favorite knives in my collection is this one by Michael J. Smith. Hand-rubbed ATS-34 blade, blue anodized titanium liners, gorgeous white pearl handles, stainless bolster, sapphire inlayed in the thumb stud, and great filework inside and outside. Very clean.

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for sharing the pictures, everyone! Keep 'em coming!!

 

[RKnight]

Oh yeah, I like wharncliff's. And I like yours Richard; good steel, shape, and size. And the fluting and leather tie gives it a primitive appeal to the eye, obviously hand made to even the most casual observer. The butt shape is an interesting departure from the more commonly seen shape like the one on Don's piece, and contrasts well with the angle of the fluting.

BTW, nice clean lines on yours Don.

I like wharncliffe's too. Stag, of course

 

[Tom Anderson]

Nice knife, Richard!

This one doesn't have any fancy filework, but I'm kinda proud of it.

Very nice work Richard! like the texture you applied both to the handle and the blade!

And Michael, Chefget, I knew you'd pick up on my delay on posting!

Here is one that I received a while ago from Ed Caffrey, one of his EBK's I recently sharpened it using the sand paper routine that I do on my knives that have a convex edge and WOW did this take a nice edge, slicing through leather and cardboard like butter!
