I've made several of these and everyone that has one loves it! I also made one for myself and one for my woman. One thing in common with them is that no one uses the sheath, because it's to big to wear around camp or when out hiking. Most often they are strapped to a pack. My woman has a big thick rubber band to keep the belt loop out of the way and she just carries it around. So this is not a sheath, it is a blade holder. Hand stitched, tooled and wet formed 8-9 oz leather. If you want a belt loop added, let me know and I'll add it for you.

OK, onto the knife.
Ground from 3/16" 1095 and heat treated in my digital kiln with clay to a hardness of 60. I do 4 thermal cycles to refine the grain, because I feel it adds greatly to edge retension and the activity in the hamon.
OAL of 14&1/4"
8&3/4" tip to scale
2&3/4" at the widest point
The handle is black/metal flake/pearl composite held on with epoxy, 1/8" stainless tubing and pins and a 1/4" piece of stainless tubing for a lanyard.

I am asking $350 shipped ConUS for this and my paypal is bmoody123456 at gmail

Questions and comments are welcomed and thanks for looking!

Ground from 3/16" 1095 and heat treated in my digital kiln to Rc61. I do four grain refining cycles for a better hamon and better edge retention.
OAL 8&1/4"
3&3/4" cutting edge
1&1/4" wide
Black over turquoise hemp is epoxied.
Kydex sheath retains well, draws easy and is drilled for a tecklock, but the paracord works great for multiple carry options!

Price for the Wharncliffe is $150 shipped ConUS to my PayPal bmoody123456 at gmail .com

Questions and comments are always welcome and thanks for looking! I'll stop talking now!

I can't believe these are still around. These are freaking sweet at great prices. If the wharncliffe is available next week it'll be all mine!
