It's Wharncliffe Wednesday!

[bestgear]

wharncliffe noun
warn-cliff

• a knife blade characterized by a straight cutting edge and a spine that slopes down to meet the edge, creating a sharp point

• It's known for its exceptional control and precision during cuts, especially push cuts and those requiring the tip

• Unlike many blade shapes with a curved "belly," the wharncliffe blade maintains a straight edge from the handle to the tip

• The spine of the blade gradually curves downward, creating a strong and sharp point

• The straight edge and sloping spine create a robust tip that can handle various tasks, from slicing to piercing

• The straight edge allows for controlled and accurate cuts, minimizing the risk of the blade slipping or wandering during a cut

• The design is attributed to Lord Wharncliffe, who sought a strong and precise blade for his personal use and for sailors

Please join me every Wednesday and post a new knife with a wharncliffe blade (and possibly others) for all the world to see!

Here's my oldest Wharnie to add to this new thread:

For most of its life it had a black synthetic handle that advertised a brand of liquor. A few years ago, I traded it to the only other AAPK member in Hawaii, PCWizard. He sent it to glennbad for modification with Mammoth Ivory then turned around and gifted it back to me.

Great idea for a thread, Tom... and Great Wharnnies everyone! Here are three from the archives that Stakeknife stoked up memories of. I noticed this Schatt Ram Horn that currently resides in Q's Wonderful Wharncliffe collection has 1 of 30 on the blade and SK's has 1 of 20. I'll try to get some pics of something new before next Wednesday.

Correction: Just realized SK's Ram Horn Schatt has a different nail nick than the one I have pictured.

Oops. I missed Wednesday, but this is my favorite Wharncliffe. It was built by Cameron House of Salem, OR using a scrap of mammoth ivory brought home from a hunting trip to Alaska.
