Re: Wharncliffe Knives
This is a cheapie, found it at a stock feed store in a country town, no maker or country of origin but was only $15US, so i thought what the heck. I tru-oiled the covers and had to straighten the blade edge on a stone, had a slight curve in it. I am in no way comparing it to some of the fine cutlery being posted, but it is a nice little EDC work knife, and i now have it razor sharp, and it keeps an edge a lot better than some of the lot more expensive knives i have.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
$15 well spent.
Re: Wharncliffe Knives
This one is a Victorinox; but, more importantly, it's a single blade Wharncliffe, which is my all-time favorite style.
Hard to go wrong at $18.50. The seller had 3 and I was tempted to buy all of them. But, I'm trying to teach The Monkey some restraint and discipline (also there are a few others I'm hoping to get with my ever dwindling funds ).

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
~Q~ You probably already know that's the Gardner pattern. I have black, yellow and red. They're so sharp they'll cut you just looking at them. I also have the Day Packer (shown below). The only difference is the shape of the blade. Love 'em and I would carry one but I'm committed to another knife.
Oops. I messed up. This is the Gardner pattern (shown below in black). I don't know what the one you have is called.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Well, FWIW, you're not the only one, jerryd.
At one time I had documentation that explained that the Wharncliffe version of the single Sheepfoot "Gardner/Horticulturist" knife was never actually given an official name by Victorinox. But I sent my only copy of that document to Greg Smith (gsmith) along with a black handled Wharncliffe version (with emblem on handle like yours). As best I can recall, it was the ONLY Victorinox model that did not get a name. Apparently, no one knows why.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Nice find cudgee! It looks great, it's sharp, it holds an edge & it didn't cost too much. That checks all the boxes of a great EDC in my book. Congrats Buddy!

I second that motion.
Here's one of the "New Queens" made in China (SMKW). I must admit that I was hesitant to take the risk after my experience with the SMKW China Mini-Trapper fiasco. But, I decided that for $16.75 I could afford to gamble on it and, truth be told, I'm very glad I did because this China-Queen Amber Sawcut Bone Wharncliffe is actually very well made; certainly comparable to (possibly even slightly better than) any Rough Ryder I've owned. I have no complaints and, in fact, I quite like it...a lot! (Closed Length = 3½")
