Hello everyone,

Tackled something a little out of the norm for me with this one.

The design specs of this custom Wharning™are as follows:

  • Full tang, .156" (5/32") thick, modified wharncliffe style blade in CPM154 wearing a combo hand rubbed/stonewashed finish.
  • Left hand chisel grind with a twist: I increased the angle of the flat side of the blade profile, so as to decrease the chisel grind's tendency to steer during a long cut in something like cloth or paper. Looking at the blade, tip on, it appears to be a V grind. Stropped to a zero angle, hair popping convex edge before leaving our shop.
  • Heat treated and Cryo tempered by Paul Farner at Bos HT to 60 HRC.
  • Combination 2x2 twill Carbon Fiber & Black Walnut scales. Walnut has been sealed with 4 coats of Cyanoacrylate and buffed with 3 coats of Minwax finishing wax for protection. Mounted with 2 Ton epoxy and .5" T6 aluminum tubing for a unique look and significant weight savings. Rear tube can be used as a lanyard hole, if so desired.
  • Weighs in at just a hair over 5 ounces, including the sheath (knife itself is just 3.8 ounces!).
  • OAL of 7.25" with a 3.5" cutting edge.
  • Hand filed thumb jimping for a Filipino style grip and finger groove for a secure hold.
  • Shipped with a custom molded Kydex sheath that is set up to fit the Large Tek-Lok system. Tek-Lok NOT INCLUDED with sheath, but can be provided for an additional $15. I can also provide a belt loop for horizontal or vertical belt carry free of charge if you'll provide me with the width and thickness of the belt on which you'll be wearing it.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas! I really appreciate it.

I learned quite a few lessons with this knife, mostly centering around using two different materials for the scales and getting them to marry up as perfectly as I could, but also the changes I made with the blade geometry I normally use.

Lost some sleep over this one, but am really pleased with the final outcome.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
