I thought I would share what I`ve been working on. First up is a Bushcrafter with contoured bloodwood handles.

Next up is a Wharncliff with chestnut dymondwood handles.

Next is a pocket Kephart with lacewood handles, this one is only 4 3/4" OAL.

And last is a Kephart with cocobolo handles.

Freakin Sweeeet!!!!!

That bushcrafter looks amazing. That wharnny is very cool, and the cocobolo looks about as good as it gets on that keppy!!

Nice work John!!!
 
Nice looking knives. Looks like there will be more of your knives in my future. Don't want to load you up with too many at one time. ;)

I still haven't figured out the thought behind a Wharncliff style blade. Looks like a sheepfoot blade on sailing knives used to cut rope. Maybe it's good for shaving/shaping wood.
 
All very nice John, But like the Tony from Texas said; the first and third are my favorite.

I had a chance to photo one of Johns wharnies a few months back in a Hiker's Backup style with black micarta. I have seen that style used for rescue ops cutting animals or people out of seat belts, rope, or leather saddles. It can also be used for cutting carpet and leather in a straight line.
