This one has been my favorite single blade wharncliffe for a good while. It's a nice size and the pocket worn red bone feels so good in the hand or in the pocket. Slim, light, easy to open and use. Not so big as to cause alarm if used in public.

I'd love to own that canvas Viper!! So, I am signing up for this give away. Somebody is going to win a great knife in this one.

Here's another wharncliffe that hangs around my desk:

Congratulations on 4K and thanks so much for the give away. Just because of this give away thread I carried my SBG above as my "knife of the day" which is usually reserved for the blue bone mini copperhead for Sundays.

This is my only knife equipped with a wharncliff blade - it is a blade shape I've yet to explore. I would like to enter the contest; thank you for the opportunity! OH

Excellent GAW sir!!!

Here's an oldy and one I miss, I always miss those that are gone, this was made by Bailey Bradshaw gang under the name of WhiteWing, it sported mammoth ivory scales and a CPM3v blade, ground down quite thin and quite pointy!!!

This knife stuck me, twice!, at the time I got it I was carrying a lot of liner lock knives, so the mid lock was different and for some reason as I moved my left hand towards the blade to close, the point slipped right into the end of my thumb DEEP ! hit bone in fact...a few days later I was showing it to a friend on how sharp it was as went to close it...stuck again in the same spot, man that was getting tender!!!

EDITED to change this to a NOT an entry post, as I caved in and just ordered one of the stag handled Vipers, so good luck to the rest of you guys/gals...

I'm in for a chance at that one.
My favorite of the knives I own is this GEC.

about as close as I can get to this one which would certainly be a grail knife. (picture swiped from someone here on BF)

Wew.... I can´t resist. Thanks for the chance, Brett! I´m in! Congratz on the 4k. I really appreciate your posts.


The knife in the middle of the (older) pic is my Otter Webermesser. I really like the wharnie blade for EDC tasks

Like TLARbb, I am fond of my little pocket worn Swayback Gent. I put a nice edge on it and brought it out Christmas before last to assist with gift opening. A "non-knife" family member was trying to open a present with it and said, "Wow, this knife is a little dull, isn't it....oh wait....I see....you use the straight side!"

Brett, thanks for a very generous and exciting GAW, and count me in---that #47 is sleek!

4K wow well done! What a give-away to mark the occasion too. I'm away from home and have no pics of a wharncliffe on my phone I'm afraid, so first here's a sheepfoot that I love.

It's probably my most carried straight edged blade.
Then just for fun, and because it's on a wish list.

I hope Derek doesn't mind me borrowing the photo from his knivesshipfree website.

Anyway, I'm in!

Ugly knives, but may I play?

 

[Turk88]

This is my favorite in pictures at least, though I certainly don't have one. Actually, I don't have any with a warncliffe blade

 

[Cisco Kid]

My most carried (top) and favorite (bottom) warnies. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I hope it'll bring lots of good karma to you.

 

[Pjake]

My favorite knife I own, John Lloyd Mammoth

Please count me in. Thanks for such a generous giveaway.

 

[sogflash]

Without a doubt it's my GEC #55. The shapes of the blade and handle is beautiful.

Very generous giveaway you have. Someone will be very happy. I'm in.

Brett,
thank you for your generosity, please consider me in.
Wharncliffe blades (and, more generally, straight blades) have come into my life quite recently, thanks to this forum. Traditional folders in southern Europe are usually clip/drop points, and straight blades are quite uncommon here. yet, thanks to a very generous BF member, I had the chance to try this knife:

which helped me discover the qualities of a wharncliffe. I have found that I prefer straight blades for pull cuts, which represent quite a share of my cutting tasks, and that's why I have loved the SBJ since I started carrying it. Even the handle shape looked quite odd to me (as above, traditional knives in this part of the world have handles that curve towards the front, not backwards), but then I got used to it, and now I like it alot, so much that I chose this frame for my first and only custom slipjoint. With my Oeser I had the chance to discover another thing about these knives; the swayback frame is indeed comfortable in pull cuts, but when it comes to front/push cuts, size begins to matter, and lately I have found that even a small difference in frame length can make the difference (my Oeser is almost 3,5" and yet I feel the change from the SBJ). That's why I would be glad to give the GEC #47 a try
Thanks again for the giveaway and for your enthusiasm and contribution to this forum

Please count me in, thanks for the chance! I don't have any wharncliffes yet but I would love to try one out. If I had to pick a favorite it would be this one: (not my knife or pic)

Congrats on 4K!
