Wharncliffe Knives
Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Giraffe bone dog leg jack with a wharncliffe* blade...what's not to like about that? Sweet Northwoods Fayette Jack, Ivoryman.
That's a hard act to follow, but here's my orange bone Case 07W group photo.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Thanks Q. Beautiful pallet of colors yourself on those Mini Ts. Great hues of orange. That's a good looking photo. I'm into orange right now due to the Giraffe bone siren song. Can't stop looking at it.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Thanks, PCW. I honestly don't know the exact number of wharnies I own, but it's fewer than you might think, at least as a percentage of my entire collection. Of approx. 300 or so knives, I would guess about 1/3 - 1/2 are wharnies...so, only around 100 - 150...not that many, really. But, I do tend to prioritize a wharncliffe blade when considering new acquisitions, and as far as that goes, there's no end in sight; bankruptcy or death are about the only two things that could stop me from buying more knives (both of which are constantly looming on the horizon).PCwizard wrote:QT Every time I look you pull out another Wharncliffe or 2...3 .

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Thanks, Bill...that's probably the best way to meet either end (death or bankruptcy)...in style!BWT wrote:Beautiful knife Q, at least you will go to bankruptcy in style!!!
Even better, be fortunate to have friends who gift you the knives you desire, as was the case with this custom Wharncliffe Copperlock I received for my birthday last month. That has the double benefit of 1) not costing me any money so I stay out of bankruptcy (for a bit longer), and 2) giving me a reason not to die (for a bit longer) because I want to stick around and enjoy this beautiful knife. Win-Win!

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
I may have posted these before but I didn't feel like wading through 29 pages so here they are:
1st is a small pearl knife with a curved secondary coping blade stamped G&J Allen Celebrated Cutlery. Carved pearl handles with pique work(small silver pins inset into handle)which dates it to ca 1840-1850.
2nd is an Empire Knife Co. Winsted CT with ebony handles.
Last is an unusual multiblade with engraved metal handles and what appear to be cyphers and English broad arrow stamps. What is unusual about this one is that where the spine of the blades meet the back springs each one is cut at a different angle and they fit very smoothly together.

When bankruptcy hits you will have the nicest knives of any one living under the bridge. I may come to visit you in hobo town just to see your knives.QTCut5 wrote:One step closer to bankruptcy with this Schatt & Morgan #22 Factory Sample (1 of 1) Smooth Red Bone Wharncliffe Small Coke Bottle.

If my habit continues at its current rate, that may be sooner than you think.

Copperheads & Swaybacks & Mini Trappers...Oh my!
I've really grown fond of the Swayback Gent 1117 pattern lately. It's just a perfect size pocket knife with a single Wharncliffe blade--right up my alley (the alley that runs under the bridge, most likely!)
