The Centofante Wharncliffe is another blade I am considering for purchase. Has anyone any good/bad experiences with this blade?

My only concern is that the blade seems a bit thin at 2mm.
 
All the better to slice with. :D

I'm not sure why people get hung up on thick blades. These things aren't crowbars, they are cutting tools. Thin blades cut better than thick ones. I'd like to see that 2mm blade with a full flat grind myself. That would make it worth my while :D
 
Never understood Wharcliffe style blades. Just picked up a Cento 4 to see what all the fuss was about. When I think about it, I guess it's because I thought I might have to skin a deer on the way to work someday. Since that hasn't happened yet, I thought I'd give the Wharny a look. What exactly are the benefits of this type of blade shape? The more I think about it, I imagine it quite suited for piercing plastic and cardboard which would make it better for everyday use. The fact that it's a C4 made the decision even easier.
 
Awesome knife out of all my other knives this Cento 4 waved and sharpened on an Edge Pro is my EDC that VG-10 holds an incredible edge. I use it when I go fishing to scale and gut my trout, I also use it in my auto detailing business cutting 1/4 inch thick plastic that holds my chemicals its the best bang for buck EDC knife IMO.

Very much the same jobs my mini manix is used for!
 
I have the Centofante 3, with the spearpoint blade. Carry it every day.
No problem at all with 2mm blade thickness. Great for light-to-medium cutting. Not flimsy at all.
