The Wonderous Wharncliffe

[Peregrin]

Here's my mail opener/apple cutter desk knife, from Kerry Hampton.

 

[Doug Add]

I am fairly new here, but am a big Wharncliffe fan. This is a Case I purchased in the mid '90's from the Parker catalog. It is 3 5/8 long. I also want to let brother & sister Forum members what a great place to hang out this place is. I have seen so many beautiful knives I never knew existed. What a treat.

Welcome Kerry from another Hoosier (born and raised in east Central Indiana). Beautiful Case!

The blue is a user, the yellow just sits around in his box feeling lonely.

Doug,
Thanks for the welcome and the compliment on the Case. How long have you been away from good 'ole Indiana?

 

[rockgolfer]

This one belongs in here. Love this thread.

Rockgolfer, I'm very close to taking the plunge on a wharnie 55 because of you. I think the wharncliffe blade shines best on the 55 and the 62 frames. Great photo! :thumbup:

Very sleek indeed!

Be nice to see some more Seahorses here, one of the few CASE patterns I don't have, they're never cheap to buy.

Thanks, Will

Britton Custom Sway Back with engraving done by Small.

I think I have gushed about this one before. That is just too nice. If you are ever looking for a new home for it, let me know.

Here is the Wharnie in my current rotation.

nice curves on that 55.

 

[rockgolfer]

Have to agree with ya on that one csisland :thumbup:

Here are 3 made for me by Jim Dunlap (Oklahoma Maker) using the Bose Gent's knife pattern. Bottom is Westinghouse micarta, middle is Mammoth and top is Ebony. Ebony piece was made on my second request, others made on my first, so there are some subtle differences.

My first Wharncliffe, on it's way from Brent, he calls it the Workhorse.

 

[blades&grace]

Yeah Don that will be in the mail Tuesday. I call my wooden shadow patterns, with no shields, "workhorses" because they're affordable and durable and folks should not be afraid to use them.

 

[chuko]

Brent what is the length closed of your workhorse?

[blades&grace]

3.5" Charles its the ever popular bose w/t frame. Just no bells or whistles.

 

[chuko]

Thanks. Sending you a PM.
