John W. Smith Warncliffe folder

[Danbo]

This just in today. Warncliffe folder by John W. Smith with 3.25" blade of 420V, handrubbed finish. Titanium bolsters and lock with very nice ironwood scales. Yes, that is a Gary Graley sheath!

Man, I LOVE J.W.'s stuff! Great knife Danbo and a truly great maker!

Yessirebob, this guy is good! Does anybody know if he makes fixed blades?

Wow, that is a real beauty! Love that wharncliffe blade. That knife just oozes quality.

From what I understand he only makes folders. I could be wrong, but that is what I have read.

An Excellent knife from a great maker, one of the Tops in the business to be sure! Also a good deal from one of the Best Sources for knives on the internet as well, BladeArt, Larry will treat you right.

She was mine for a while, when I received that knife, I expected a shorter blade, a slight mixup on description, was supposed to be 2 7/8" long and came in at 3 1/2", just a tad longer than I like in a wharncliff shape, that is the ONLY reason she was sold, otherwise what a beautiful knife, and that CPM420V steel is an added plus!
Good catch!

I love JW Smith's work, it is truly awesome. His knives have a super smooth action. Love the ironwood. Great catch Danbo!
