Hi All, Here’s a sweet little EDC Wharncliffe in 80CRV2 for your consideration. Hope you like it!
Dimensions - .135” x 6 5/8” OAL and 1 7/16” tall – 2 3/4” from tip to scales – Hand sanded to P1200 grit. It was near sharp before sharpening. My wharncliffes have a very low belly towards the tip, I can't seem to appreciate dead straight edges.
The scales are dyed and stabilized Jacaranda and stabilized Japanese Privet. There’s not much online about Privet in woodworking but it is very hard and I did find a reference that “The wood is hard and tough and makes good arrow shafts”. It’s been sanded to1200 grit and features “yellowjacket” G10 liners with homemade copper/brass/aluminum mosaic pins. The small knots visible on the upper butt are filled with superglue. It’s finished with multiple coats of Danish oil then buffed with carnauba wax.
The handle feels great in my average size hand (about 4” from thumb web to the butt of my palm so may not fit those with really big hands). Sheath is a snug fit with great retention yet easy to deploy.
This is a very affordable knife at only $135 to your door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.
Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.
