Help me design a knife!

[Easyrider]

Wharncliff C is the one for me!

 

[3wolves]

I'm gonna go against the grain and vote for recurve A. A recurve will increase the length of the cutting edge in such a short blade,

 

[Quiet Storm]

Back to the top...thanks for the input so far! We currently have a draw between Wharncliffe A and C.

 

[Gutshot]

It doesn't look like anyone else agrees with me, but drop point b.

 

[kozak6]

Yeah, drop point b.

Not that it appears to matter .

 

[The Mastiff]

Drop point B IMO seems the most utilitarian, and the easiest to care for and sharpen with the best grip. C is second choice and would be acceptable also. The Wharncliff is more specialized, the recurve more difficult to care for and limited in certain situations as is the wharncliff. Joe

 

[Geraldo Leão]

Warhncliff C.
In a 1 inch blade any curves will be a waste. The handle could be a little up set or at least horizontal, to help the blade orientation and positioning.

I like Wharncliffe A the best, or Drop-point A. For a 1 Inch blade, the Recurve is just too small, and Handle shape seems to offer the best grip, for EDC I mean.

 

[KeithAM]

Wharncliffe A. :thumbup:
