Last week I showed a Case 207W that I had glennbad modify with Stag because I thought Case had never made a two-blade Stag Mini Trapper. Not too long after Glenn did that mod for me I discovered that Case did in fact make a 5207W. I don't know how many were made, but in all my years collecting 07Ws, I have seen only three come up for sale. Although it didn't come cheap ($200 ), I immediately bought the first one I saw and was glad I did because the other two sold for even more At the time, I felt that was an outrageous amount to pay for a Mini-T, even one with beautiful raindrop Damascus like this one has. But, nowadays as I look at the direction knife prices are heading, I am starting to think maybe I got a bargain. Funny how that works.

I wonder what Ol' Job Case would think of the prices his company's knives were selling for today?

A couple more Case Classics and a very small Al Mar that I guess you could call a less defined wharncliffe.

[chickenman62]

That is some very nice Damascus Q.

That one is a looker. Love the Damascus and the stag.

Very fine group of Copperheads, Kevin, and a beautiful Muskrat, John.

Nice Winchester, Redrider.

Q, that raindrop Damascus and stag Case is about as good as a knife can get.

Chickenman, those two Case Classics are perfect.

I am so going to lower the bar with my knife for today. Here is another of my Steel Warriors.

Hey Mel - that Steel Warrior gets the award for most "unique" sides - I really like the texture & outside the box appeal of that one

Not a lowering of the bar at all, Mel. When I saw your Steel Warrior Wharncliffe Whittler, I thought the handle might be Impala Jigged Bone; it certainly looks like it to me

[robpa]

I probly have others but this is my favorite warnie

Gentlemen, ya'll are giving me Wharnecliffe fever ... Only way to get over it is to buy some! ALL!

Tony, I'm pretty sure you have at least one Wharnie in your pile that you could post....maybe even two

I can see why that one would be a favorite!

Thanks for the kind words about my knife, John and Q. The jigging is called Impala, but I am pretty sure that the actual material is something along the lines of Pakkawood. Here is a close up of another of my knives of the same pattern where you can really see the material.

Great Wharnie show all! Thanks for all the comments and great pics. Good to see so many great shots after a lower turnout last week.
Posting another one of my favorite Northwoods Wharnies (Giraffe Bone Fayette Jack) from Ivoryman's wonderful collection.

Well 'Q', I am a day late and a few Wharnies short after digging a bit, but here are a few Wharnecliffes I have. Still looking for next week....
Think you will recognize one of them ... some may call it a spear point, but it is in Wharnie territory ... Many thanks again for that one!
Still have the fever though ... this topic is contagious!!

[QTCut5]

Al Mar that I guess you could call a less defined wharncliffe.

some may call it a spear point, but it is in Wharnie territory

Some folks may disagree, but I have seen both of those (Al Mar & Parker) called "modified Wharncliffe" same as the Lone Wolf Loveless City Knife

[robpa]

Id call em more pen than wharn b ut they are worth the look for sure.

Merry Christmas Eve fellow Wharnie Lovers! I'm gonna kick off Wharncliffe Wednesday Week #24 with a Case/Bose Collaboration Abalone Norfolk & Wharncliffe Trapper.
