Not my pic, but it's the only one I have at this point, and the only traditional wharnie I have. Mine is my recently acquired 2-blade Joel Chamblin Trapper on the bottom. :thumbup:

Here are a few of my favorite ones.

I've never cared for Wharncliffes with a long, straight spine that runs parallel to the edge before abruptly curving down to meet the point like a narrow sheepsfoot; too boxy. I like 'em to have a continuous flowing curve from tang to point.

I believe GEC's Wharncliffe blades are as you describe Rick -- "long straight spine that runs parallel to the edge before abruptly curving down to meet the point"

Very nice Ohta knives by the way.

My favorites are (sorry no pictures, I am at work) Scagel Fruitport, Case Swayback and my 2009 Forum Barlow. For years I thought they were pretty useless, Now they are amoung my favorites. Steven

My favorite Wharncliffe bladed knife that I own is this GEC Furtaker Trapper in antique amber bone.

I hope Bastid won't mind me posting my favorite of his (or anyone else's!), by Ryu Kawamura.

Ed what's that I've never seen it before?! I bet .025 seconds after you snapped off that pic it was back in your pocket :thumbup:

I agree, for the most part, though IMO, GEC's #62 Wharncliffe profile is a big improvement aesthetically over some of their earlier efforts, particularly in the swedge department.

Very nice Ohta knives by the way.

Thanks, Ed.

Nathan, I find it hard to believe you haven't seen that before. I do really like the knife; it is my favorite small pocket knife pattern. Just in case you weren't funnin me, it is a Case mini copperhead in amber bone. - Ed J

Ed I was just kiddin but I have to say I enjoy seeing the knife every time. It's a classic and the bone on yours is just perfect. I picked up this little Queen a while back to try out the pattern but I gotta say I still like yours better than mine...knife envy is a terrible thing

Awesome knives in this thread. I'm particularly envious of the Ohtas, as I've been chasing one for over a year.

Here is a pic of my most used warnie (top) next to my favorite one (bottom).


I have a kind of love/hate relationship with warnies: cosmetically, its my favorite blade shape, but I find a blade with some belly much more useful. Nonetheless, I carry this blade type often. Here are some of the ones that I have:

I don't care for single blade knives with a standard wharncliffe blade...(though I'm fine with a modified wharncliffe or "zulu")...but I like 'em plenty when they're paired with a clip blade:

Couldn't have said it better myself, and that Coats has been my favorite Warncliffe blade since you first posted it here.

What's that one at the very bottom?

Why thank you, Stu. It was a fun project with Ken Coats and it came out wonderfully well (if I do say so myself.) :thumbup:

There's actually a very slight upsweep (belly) at the tip of the "modified" wharncliffe.

I believe it's one of the new ones from AG Russell, the dogleg I think.

Yes, that's it.
