Kerry, what's the closed length of those beauties?

3.5" :D

Thanks for all the oohs and ahhs folks...much appreciated. Tony deserves all the kudos for being such a patient tutor and sharer of knowlege. The only thing he gets for it is the satisfaction of passing it on. That and the fact that I can be somewhat entertaining in the shop when things don't go so well with whatever current knife I'm working on. :p

The NKCA is planning on auctioning them off. When we find out the details we'll pass the information on to you folks somehow.

Tony has a long standing reputation of supporting knifedom in many ways. He credits many of the old guard NKCA members with adding to his cutlery education and this pair of knives will be going to that organization to help support their fund raising efforts.

These knives are based on the Bose Wharncliffe Trapper frame made into two, single-blade knives. The blades and springs are 154CM, hafted in Case Chestnut Bone, and finished out with 410SS rat tail bolsters and bullock shields. The clip knife was made by Tony and the Wharncliffe knife was made by some other guy :D

Kerry, just how much were you sweating trying to make your knife a perfect match to Tony's? :D
 
Terrible Terre Haute Hampton strikes again! Great work, Tony and "other guy."

Simply magnificent. I bet Dolly Parton wishes she had a pair that nice. ;)
 
That's quite a pair! One for each front pocket ....

Knowing that I couldn't do that helped take some of the pressure off but I still tried and took a few measurements (bolster length, shield position, what size file for the rat tail, etc.) Still, it was a bit nerve racking. :eek:
 
Here's a little somethin else to feast on for your 4th of July weekend. ENJOY!

That Wharncliffe Trapper is a real honey! Great stag and flawless execution. You can't ask for anything more then that. Someone is gonna be incredibly happy with that

Is that stag or is that stag? :eek::thumbup:

I understand that Tony and Reese are partial to that pattern. ;):cool:
 
Everyone,
I just cannot believe the beauty of the knives shown in this thread, I started saving a few photo's to quote them and comment on them..but I would have to start another 100 page or so thread :(
Thank you for showing your fantastic knives, I only hope I can work my way up to owning such awesome knives.
Thanks again to all those members who have taken the time to post photos of your great knives. :thumbup:

It could be the all time greatest pattern to come from the Works!!
Wilfred Works that is; I've carried one for quite a while now, and it is indeed hard to beat for every day usefulness! And that doesn't include the inherent beauty of its form-follows-function design! That beauty can make your day like a magic talisman!
Mine has some Old Factory Bone on it, which I hope to carry for many years to come!
I must admit, the stag is tempting though; VERY tempting!!
