Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Canoe looks like it was made for a cliffe blade. That's a beauty. Great stag, great blade, great bolsters. Wow. Nice one. And maybe it goes up in value since it's so rare, and they aren't making Queens anymore? Congrats.

I'm sure I've posted this yellow composition Case 3107W CV Wharncliffe Mini Trapper before, but since I just gave it a forced patina facelift, it gets another stroll down the catwalk.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Since we're doing re-runs, I think this Case 5355 Seahorse Whittler deserves another whirl around the dance floor.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
I just have to say one thing a wharncliffe blade can't do.
Scrape gum and tape up from the floor. It takes a blade with belly.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
How often do you have that problem with gum on the floor? Bet I could get the gum off the floor with my Wharncliffe using the spine or laying the blade flat against the floor and getting under it. It's not what you have, it's how you use it.Just Plain Dave wrote:I just have to say one thing a wharncliffe blade can't do.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
If it's a Wharncliffe in a folder you can't get it down flat. Most scrapers like that razor blade one are utter crap these days. I like using a spey blade on the gum and such.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
I have to agree with Dave on that one. I love wharncliffe blades, and have a couple that I carry. They are great for pealing apples, opening mail, whittling ... most tasks. But if you need to cut up some fish for bait or slice queen olives and cheese, then a clip point with a belly works a lot better. Not saying the wharncliffe cannot do the job, but it is not ideal in my opinion.Just Plain Dave wrote:I just have to say one thing a wharncliffe blade can't do.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
No problem getting wharncliffe blades flat enough to scrape a floor, knife blades bend. I don't know how flat you can or cannot get yours, but I know how flat I can get them, I don't scrape gum off floors with my pocket knives either. There's always a scraper, chissel or putty knife around, but if that's what you do, all power to you, scrape away, and if you scrape gum around on your floors regularly, maybe a wharncliffe blade isn't the issue. Might be people who can't find or don't know how to use trash cans. But hey, I definitely could be wrong.Just Plain Dave wrote:If it's a Wharncliffe in a folder you can't get it down flat.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Here's my newest wharncliffe: S&M Whiskey Catilena Bone #99 Executive Jack (perfect for removing the bubble gum stuck to the underside of the table in the executive board room!)
~Q~
PS In case you were wondering if I misspelled "Catilena", I got the spelling from the photo of the Schatt & Morgan product catalog page shown on C. Risner's website: Traditionalpocketknives.com. Apparently, it's not the traditional spelling, "Catalina."

I think I may have enough wharnies in my Schatt pile alone to scrape all the gum off a public school playground!

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Thanks TJ, and AMEN. I wasn't a Barlow fan at all until I saw that very knife. Then when I got it I became a Barlow fanatic. One of my favorite patterns, styles, bolsters etc. There is nothing not to like on that one. Great knife by itself, but the bone and blade and N on the bolster just slew me. Still recovering. Thanks for the comment and hope you try one out and see for yourself what the fuss is about. I wasn't smart enough to get it until I got it. Then the light bulb went on. Here's the saw cut twin. Happy viewing all.
