Wharncliffes

[gooeytek]

I'm a fan of traditional wharncliffes, and I have a GEC Viper and Northwoods Hawthorne Wharnie so far.
Lately I've been looking at the Little Rattler but it's too small.
It's not so much the 2" blade length that I find too small on the Little Rattler, it's the handle length.

Is there a traditional that looks like it, but larger? Like a single-bladed Case Seahorse?

Maybe a Copperhead or Trapper?

The middle one. What's that pattern called? I've seen those and like them a lot, but I haven't come across single-bladed wharnies unless it's a custom.

 

[gooeytek]

Is there a Teardrop pattern with a wide, whittler-type wharncliffe blade? I think that would be what I'm really wanting.

GEC #92 'Eureka Jack'

GEC #53 'Furtaker'

GEC #57 'Halfwhitt'

That's the Teardrop. They usually have a spear blade, I think.

Not that I know of, but someone else might have a suggestion.
Maybe just go for the Seahorse Whittler?

I like that Halfwhitt.

I've thought about just going with the Seahorse, but I can't stand the offset position in the multi-bladed knives. Might just have to get one made.

Etrick (spelling?) pattern? I think photos of them with a Wharncliffe have been shown here ... or are they "strictly" equipped with a lambsfoot blade?
The teardrop might be a good option. I don't know if Case is currently producing the 28 pattern, or if it is "In The Vault".
Mine is 3.5 inches closed. Is that too small?
I believe Rough Ryder currently has a tear drop the same size as the Case in production with a Wharncliffe blade.

Favorite Wharncliffe is the 2020 forum knife from Viper. Ram's horn and wonderful M390 stainless @ 3⅝" closed.

And for size comparison, shown here with the ubiquitous Victorinox Cadet.

3.5" closed length is ok. I much prefer the dimensions of the 47 Viper, closer to 4"

That said, if anyone has a 2020 Forum Knife that they want to let go of...I'm interested

 

[JohnDF]

The GEC #55 Hounds Tooth... it's the reverse of the Little Rattler and the handle is 3-1/2" long.

 

[sceva]

I like my little Pemberton

 

[kamagong]

Are you asking about wharncliffe the blade or wharncliffe the pattern?

 

[gooeytek]

Wharncliffe blade. My ideal would be a 2.5" - 3" Seahorse blade in a teardrop frame. I'm getting ready to render it and have it made

 

[Will Power]

GEC's 82 Possum Skinner gives you a large blade each end. Clip/Wharncliffe.

Look for GEC 13s they have a long Wharncliffe and smaller secondaries

GEC 38 English Whittler

 

[Will Power]

Then have look for one of these, a Queen made SFO and decent quality

what's that called? I like the wider blade.
