Wich Wharncliffe folder?

Try the Spyderco Southard - very useful blade . I think this is Spyderco's version of an Insingo blade shape.

I keep telling myself I don't need a Hinderer Wharncliffe...






But I think I might want a Hinderer Wharncliffe...

I love the Southard blade shape (I carry a Southard more days than not) but it has a lot more belly than the Insingo. I generally dislike thick-bladed knives but the sweeping curve and hollow grind make the Southard blade really work well for me in practice. That said, it's a million miles from the "slightly curved wharnie" insingo shape we started with here.

Short on blade length , long on Cool .

I'm not sure what CRK calls that blade, since they never put in on there website, but it's not a wharncliffe(as in your title).

I call it a modified sheepsfoot blade.
A wharncliffe has a straight edge with no belly, and the downward curve of spine starts much farther back than on the Insingo(or a sheepsfoot).

Maybe it's a modified wharnfoot, or a modified sheepscliffe


Some good knives mentioned above[emoji106]

Haha excellent clarification!

Don't forget to add a traditional in the rotation!

Hey Rick! I was more or less a Duke of Wharncliffes never quite got to King status but I was trying!

This is a pretty nice one, albeit on the small side, GEC Geppetto

my fav was this one from Bailey Bradshaw that has long since gone to a new home, but pretty amazing folder, from his WhiteWing series of knives with CPM3v blade and mammoth scales;

But this of course is an aged thread brought back from the dead, so maybe I'll find my knife again,
