Livesay wharncliff or Tanto

[Brandon -B-]

I am going to purchase a Newt Livesay neck knife but am not sure wether to get the Woo (Tanto) or Celt (wharncliffe). it will be used probably as a utility knife but of course one day I might be required to use it for self defense. May I have your opinoins on the two blade shapes.

uh anyone have an opinion?? hello? anyone

My all time favorite knife shape.

I'm with the Magician. Wharncliffes are my favorite, great utility blade shape.

Wharncliffe. A tanto MAY be a better 'tactical' blade shape, but you wouldn't know when the time came because you quit carrying your Woo due to it's inability to perform utility functions very well.

 

[fudo]

The Woo is primarily designed as a weapon. The Celt is a better utility knife, and the "Little Pecker" is even better.

I'm with fudo. Of the two you mentioned, I'd go with the celt. But if I were buying, I'd go with the little pecker.
