Im loving the wharncliffe blade design in my Spyderco PPT and am on a wait list for the terzuola/strider production model folder. What other folders out there have a great wharncliffe design blade? I most definetly plan on gettin the Yojimbo 2 as well!
 
One of my favorites is the Case Sea Horse Whittler. The other 2 blades make it a very useful knife.

The Kershaw Centofante would be so much better if it was bigger, like at least a 3" blade.
 
I would look into the Benchmade 440 Opportunist. It has a great wharncliff blade and it is a liner lock with very smooth operation. The blade steel is s30V. Takes a very good edge. It is a nice looking light weight knife.

Thanks, Timberweasel.

The A.G. Russell Curved Jacks handle heavy work without a hint of strain; these things are stout. Great value, too, IMO.
 
A few years ago I scored this hand made custom E.V. Chavar folder (don't know the model) with single titanium liner on the lock side, G10 scales, and a wharncliffe damascus blade.
I read somewhere he uses Master Bladesmith Daryl Myer Damascus. Beautiful wharncliffe, but I can't get myself to use/carry it, even though its not mint.
I bid on a group of "fantasy" knives with a Gerber Presentation Mark I dagger. This was in it. Won the lot for only 40 bucks!
Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

PS
ya cant go wrong with a Case sway back chestnut bone in CV. This little guy cost me $20 more than the Gerber Mark and custom Chavar above.
