Just Finished a small Wharncliff Blade (pic)

Bruce Evans · May 30, 2001

Here is a picture of one that I just finished this last week.
It has a 3 inch blade of forged 5160-Nickel Silver guard-and a 3 1/4 inch handle of Waterbuffalo Horn and nickel silver pins

Hope you like it.
I can do something other than Bowies

Looks like there's some filework we can't see, but I like it a lot. You see a lot of wharncliffes apparently made because they're simple, so you don't always see nice touches like your grip there. Looks like it took some work to get the palmswell right.

Thanks for the kind words here everybody.
Yes it does have a vine fileworked spine,And it was not that easy for me to grind this little knife,I guess that is because I have been so used to grinding big blades lately plus it felt like I was grindingthe wrong side of the blade all the time.
Here is a picture of the filework.

Sorry about the pictures not being real clear.I don't know what I did to mess up,Oh well I'm a knifemaker not a photographer anyway

We'll forgive the bad pics Bruce. Especially since they're shots of another gorgeous knife!

I like it a lot, Bruce! The addition of those pins really dresses up a knife that's already a beauty.

I guess I should say you see a lot of wharncliffes done because people say they're simple....

Really cool filework.

Bruce Evans · May 31, 2001

I guess that if I was to start grinding more of them they might start getting easier....
But I don't see that happening veryu soon unless I get a bunch of orders for them.
