I really like the looks of the Wharncliff blade. So my question is simple, who makes a good production Wharncliff with around a 3 inch blade?

Any info would be much appreciated

You didn't specify folder or fixed blade... I don't have any fixed blade wharncliffes but I really like my Winchester whittler (model 39097), the blade is only about 2 1/2" long though. Check out this and some other nice slipjoints at Bluegrass Cutlery
 
Folder?
Slipjoint?
Locking System?
Fixed?

Klotzli makes quite a few patterns - folding with liner lock. They are generally designed for light to medium duty use.\

I have been carrying a Klotzli Sailor (distributed by Boker) for about a month now. A very excellent knife. However, it is a wharncliff with a belly, so not a true wharncliff.

Columbia River (CRKT) Mirage and Grey Ghost (discontinued) are also wharncliff.

Spyderco is coming out with one relatively soon (Kiwi) but it is a bit short for your needs. They also have another project in the works, the Yojimbo, which will be a folding wharnie, but more towards the MBC range.

Kershaw Ken Onion Mini Task (discontinued) - but it has the damn Speedsafe system, :barf:

Lots of slipjoint manufacturer's make that pattern, but not too many in the 3 inch range.

Benchmade claims to have lots of wharnie shapes, but they are really drop points.

That is a start.
 
I to have always liked the look of the Wharncliff blade Case makes several knives with the Wharncliff Blade. For example the New Mini-Silver Script series has one called a Sea Horse Whittler with a Wharncliff, Pen and coping blade. (follow this link for the page with this knife on it http://www.newgraham.com/small_si.htm )

The above knife also comes in the Mother-of-Pearl handle ( http://www.newgraham.com/motherpe.htm )

There is also the Yellow handle Wharncliff Copperlock ( http://www.newgraham.com/yellow.htm )

Sorry, I didn't carify, a folder with some sort of lock. Blade size around three inches. :)
thanks
 
Benchmade is coming out with a wharncliffe in about a month or two called the 921 Double Vision. You can find it on their website.
