I'm not a fan of Wharncliffe blades for general carry, but I can deal with it.

I've been carrying a P'Kal of late, a roughly Wharncliffe style of blade, and I see that I do a lot of cutting with that nice, thin tip.

That tip is going to wear and if I do any prying I know the tip is more likely to snap off.

The thin tip is nice for precision cutting, though. I keep a Wharncliffe bladed knife in my whittling kit for just such a reason.

If your sharpening skills aren't all that great, a Wharncliffe blade is often easier to sharpen, since they are simply a straight cutting edge..

i carry a small wharcliff pikal all the time and it's been great for EDC.

The urban comes with a leaf shaped blade.

I like a wharncliffe for edc but if I have my main folder as a hawkbill or wharncliffe I make sure and carry a swiss army knife.

I prefer a UKPK. I love it when my blade says made in the USA. I also prefer the S30V over the vg-10
