My little Wharncliffe EDC belt knife....
Gets used every day, for cutting food, grabbing splinters, opening boxes and everything in between..!

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Saw this little (2½" closed) Made-in-Japan United Cutlery UC426 Wharncliffe half-whittler and just couldn't resist buying it even though it's a full inch shorter than my preferred size. I love the Scagel-style open pull, but the size renders this knife pretty much useless to me for all practical purposes. It's fine for the Wharncliffe collection, though. If it had a lanyard hole it would make a good keychain knife.
For size comparison: here it is next to a 3½" Case 6107W Wharncliffe Mini Trapper:

With so few offerings sometimes you have search for hidden Wharncliff blades and release them.
Really nice old knives guys.- Papa Bones

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Can't decide if this Winchester Trademark Swell End Jack has a Wharncliffe or Sheepfoot blade. What do you guys think?
It does have a bright & busy handle, of that I have no doubts.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Several years back, I took to calling that one a "sheepcliffe". "Sheepfoot" is probably the most accurate. Giving consideration to the taper of the blade, you can't rule out "lambfoot". You decide.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Yep...according to that chart, mine looks more similar to a "real lamb foot" profile......in fact, now that I think about it, I used to have a Red/Yellow checkered knife just like this Blue/Silver Winchester but it had "Real Lamb Foot" etched on the blade.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Here's a little (3" closed) Zenith brand Wharncliffe jack made in Germany with shadow pattern French ivory (celluloid?) covers. No half stop; excellent snap. I'm guessing the date of manufacture to be approximately mid 1900s (1950-1970).

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Ooh, I like that. Did it start life with the Ram's Horn covers or were they a custom touch?

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
This is how it came straight from the factory. Even though the post 2006 DFC stamped S&M knives are hit or miss on the fit and finish, the Daniels Family did manage to produce some cosmetically very highly attractive handles using a variety of materials. The color and texture of the ram horn on this Swayback Jack rival the beauty of some Mammoth Bark, IMO.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 10:33 am Ooh, I like that.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Mahalo, JP & jerryd...I appreciate the positive feedback (clearly, you have excellent taste!)
Not all my Wharnies are dressed up with fancy handles like ram horn...for example, this Spyderco Kiwi 4 that I got expressly for EDC, which is clad in basic black G-10 covers. Nevertheless, it has a certain ergonomic artistry and balance that makes it feel perfect in the hand. And, of course, that sleek VG-10 Wharncliffe blade ...should suffice for opening some mail or breaking down some cardboard boxes...you know, normal EDC stuff.
