What model Brous is that? Really liking it.

A Wharncliffe blade has a straight cutting edge. A lot of the knives pictured don't. No matter what the manufacturer calls it, without a straight edge it's not a Wharncliffe.

Myself, I'd recommend a Great Eastern Cutlery Wall Street. It's got the blade, it's a really good looking knife, and it's a lockback. Even better, it's a much nicer knife than anything short of a custom, and the price is less than many of those other recommendations. It's a knife you'll actually use and carry long after you realize how silly most of those "tactical" designs are.

True but the Curtiss F3 isn't really a wharncliff either it's more modified sheepsfoot

it's more modified sheepsfoot

Actually it's a modified drop point, and bears more resemblance to a Japanese Santoku blade than a sheepsfoot. The Sheepsfoot also has a straight cutting edge. As does the Lambsfoot.

Spydiechef is a sheepfoot.

ZT 0392WC, my current favorite wharnie.

I have a Kizer Rogue in my pocket right now. You could call it a wharncliffe style blade, but reverse tanto seems more accurate. $85 for s35vn, relatively thick 3" blade, all metal construction but no hot spots, solid lockup. Very satisfied with it.

Wouldn't necessarily agree, you can still Pierce to start a Cut. The Curtiss that OP wanted to replace is no wharnie but a sheepsfoot imo so I think both are fine

Mmmmm maybe it has been mentioned before but probably you could get a Spyderco Centofante 4 for a lot less money than most of the above suggestions. Maybe the Spyderco Delica is on par.

I own a Centofante 3 (my first Spyderco) and I carry it often. Lightweight, thin hollow ground blade and somewhat classy! I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Centofante 4 if I was in the market for a wharncliffe folder.

I hope it helps,

The Emerson PSARK has been around for a long time for good reason, it's a great knife. I'd post a pic of mine but I gave it to my son-in-law.

Emerson Seax is new offering in 2018 if you're ok with Emerson fit and finish on knives for $250.

+1 sexy knife that one.

Not quite a wharnie, but close. I just ordered one myself: https://www.bladehq.com/item--Boker-Plus-CFM-A1-Frame-Lock-Knife--80842

One of my favorites.

What is the knife on top

Thats a zt 0392wc, the wharncliffe blade version of the 0392. There's also a purple and black version of it, which is more commonly available on the secondary market.

Kind of a Wharncliffe on one side, but not a folder.
