The Wonderous Wharncliffe

[TLARbb]

Here is my latest Case wharncliffe trapper. I've carried it several days in a row now. I like these knives.

This mini wharncliffe trapper (top) arrived today:

The tiny is certainly tiny (funny how that works), but the mini is a handfull, enough that I'd consider it full-size if I didn't know better. I look forward to using it.

Sithus, I love what you did with that old Case slimline! You completely turned that mess into a winner.

Here are a few of mine; a Case and a GEC. The Case has a damascus blade and is super sweet. The fixed blades I'm working on....still.......the center one will be my first "made" knife and it's a wharnie. I've got a Ohta on order and love to see his work. I'm hoping for a August delivery.

I have a real liking for wharncliffe bladed knives. Here are a few of my collection. Charles. These are the Winchester (black box) swell center.

The Holley is a sweetheart... I'm infatuated with it.

Y'all are bad influences.

Seeing those Case Swaybacks and all the other beautiful Wharncliffes made me give in.

This beauty (or one like it) should be here in a couple days weeks from a shop in Louisiana.

Beautiful knives, Charles, and so grand to see them together like that. Thanks.

How are you liking the sowbelly? I've got the curved regular and love it but I'm balking at the steel...

Good genes in that family.

Man, I was wanting one for some time until I saw I saw 8Cr13MoV....

Why?
It's performance is about equal to that of AUS8. Edge holding isn't much different than 1095. It should hold an edge somewhat better than 12C27.

If the answer lies in the country of origin, don't go there with your response. You won't like the result.

Okay sorry. I wasn't planning on going there, just stating my thought. Apologies if any feathers were ruffled or panties bunched.
