Hi folks..
I have fell in love with this blade profile from the looks on the Spyderco Centofante 4..

I am wondering if you guys know who else makes this style blade in a folder?

I know of this one and the Kershaw Centofante...
I am sure I could do a search and find more .. but to hear it from you guys makes alot of difference rather than just stumbling onto them in a internet search..


Thank you for any help in this quest.. lol

there's the BM Gravitator.... that's a pretty wild-looking Wharncliffe.
A few AG Russell folders are almost Wharncliffe shaped... slightly raised point = drop point?
 
Benchmade 921 sweet little folder with a wharncliffe blade and a smaller "utility" blade on the other end of the knife.:D
 
Kershaw Leek models
Kershaw Random Task models (if you can find one)
Spyderco Yojimbo
Some of the Spyderco Salt models and Rescue models
 
I like the looks of the Lone Wolf City Knife, and keep telling myself I'm going to get one.
Case also makes a few with wharncliff blades.
 
A.G. Russell sells a special BM 332 that has a modified wharncliff blade. Benchmade also has the BM440 which also has a modified wharncliff blade. I also seem to remember that the Westcliff from William Henry has a modified wharncliff blade.
 
I just remembered that Lone Wolf knives produce a version of the Paul folder with a wharncliff blade.
 
Man thanks guys! Keep em coming if someone can think of any more.. I take it that it's just not me that likes this style blade.. it just seems perfect as a knife, Easy to sharpen, Easy to cut with, scrape with .. heck I dunno even shave with maybe if I can ever learn how to get them that sharp.. :)
 
I don't thing anyone's mentioned CRKT offerings. The Snap Lock models have a blade profile that mimics the Wharncliffe style. I can't say I was real thrilled with the Snap Lock I once owned (couldn't get the blade to cut like I thought it should), but it's kind of a neat design.
 
I am very satisfied with a Kerwshaw Double Cross, one clip-blade and one wharni, also with the Kershaw Mini Task, plain and partially serrated.
And I am also happy with the Lone Wolf "City Knife" with a modified wharnie.
 
I second the BM Gravitator and wish I had a real Snody one. The BM is definatly one of my favorite factory knives and is built like a tank.:thumbup: I'd add the Kershaw Bumps as a recurved Wharny. They have a deep recurve but the last 2 or so inches of the blade is straight with a super sharp tip.:thumbup: Best of both worlds. (I've got a Spec Bump and have one of the green ones on order. I love everything except the clip (too long) on them.)
 
I have grown to love the blade shape. I have been EDCing my BM 440 for the last several weeks. It is a very handly blade shape!
