Hello

As a broad definition a such a blade is one with a straight edge.
Hope this can help you.

A wharncliffe is kind of like a pointy sheepsfoot blade....Like the CRK&T neck p.e.c.k.

Nice Kelly!

jchubb,
To me, the Wharncliffe/sheepsfoot is one of the handiest blade shapes there is.

It's my favorite shape. Pointy and a long cutting edge.

Kelly, love that knife. I'm a big fan of Wharcliffes. Here's a picture of one of my favorites.

Stag handled by W.D. Pease. Gary will be along soon with his Sheephorn one. Nice to carry with the "swinger" sheath.

Win and Bo - very nice knives! I think for the vast majority of my daily tasks - opening mail and boxes, slicing open food wrappers, cutting out newspaper/magazine articles, etc. - the wharncliff is the perfect blade. It's also one of the most elegant blade shapes there is IMO.

Jonathan:

Wharncliffe's have a straight edge and tapering point. (Sheepsfoot blades are more blunt at the tip.)

Here's a picture of one of my Wharncliffes', called the Sandpiper:

JC- the Kershaw miniTASK has the wharncliffe blade shape. Nice knife for the money, plus you can find it left-handed.
