wharcliff blade with jigged rams horn

[jasperdog032469]

this was my first attempt at a wharncliff. It has jigged rams horn with 5/32" mosaic pins and a brass lanyard hole. Steel is 440c 1/8" bar stock. It was ground on an 8 inch wheel.








any comments or critiques are welcome.

It looks good. I love the wharncliffe blade style, though I do have one gripe about it. If the blade is even with the handle, chopping anything is really tough. Not like this knife was made for chopping carrots or something, but have a slightly higher handle/lower blade would be cool. Looks like this knife would have a good grip.

thanks riz. I'll give that a try. I always liked the looks of them also, and it does fit nice in the hand.
