The Wonderous Wharncliffe

Thanks Al.

 

I only have two.
GEC Northfield Un-X-LD 610211 Green Briar jigged bone
Case TB61028 DAM Mediterranean Blue Teardrop. (born 10/07/15 according to the box)

 

Good grief.... I think that fully 60% of my knife collection has some kind of wharncliffe on it, either primary, or secondary..
I prefer my wharn's to be on the shorter, more blunt side, rather than long and sleek. Something about like this imported swayback..

 

My beloved GEC Viper -- old no.34, from 2014 -- is my only traditional Wharncliffe. It's a great utility cutter, and the blade shape perfectly complements the Swayback handle.

 

Seeing the guys post their #55's in the Tidioute thread has me wanting to post my Northfield.

 

I really like the Wharncliffe, and think this Case version is especially well-designed, and useful!!

 

One of the coolest knives I've seen.

 

Thank you so much.
I searched long and hard for that knife.
In the end, a generous forum member sold it to me a at a very reasonable price.

 

Technically, that would be a "herd" of seahorses....

I really like that Case Brothers at the bottom...great bone handles

 

My all time favorite EDC work knife..... That is until I lost it at work. Someone got a nice free knife that day

 

John, I am partial to the NF 55 as well! My most loved and used wharnie/GEC

 

Oh no...If I keep looking at this thread...its gonna be trouble for me.
Tons and tons of beautiful wharncliffe’s here.

 

I'd post a picture of my beloved old Case swayback gent, but I am ashamed to expose myself after carelessly rounding off the tip on the sharpmaker - instead here's a picture of my old reliable Case Mini Copperhead and a new addition - the GEC 62 Congress -- the Case really packs a lot of blade comparatively!

 

My first venture into G10 ... has a real nice tactile feel to it, seems lighter too --->

 

Maybe not the best photo, but a couple of darn nice knives!

 

Wow! Just Wow!

 

Two really great knives right there.
Your #55 and mine are practically twins, except yours has the Liner Lock.
