My French Broad will always hold a special place in my heart as it was the last knife Ivoryman gave me before he died. Here she is visiting with her Mud Creek cousin, Burl
Thanks Mel! Those Steel Warriors are beauties!
Yes, that's what he told me.....he got it from youCorn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Wed Feb 25, 2026 6:55 pm 'Q' ... that is very special, and to me also. Pretty sure Ivoryman got that one from me.
You jogged the memory, and I got this Wharnie out, acquired from the auction.
The IvoryMan bombs or auction purchased knives I have will always be with me.
Small world

Funny story, I actually gave him that CRKT Folt's Minimalist that you got in the Ivoryman auction
I'm so glad you joined AAPK when you did, Tony, so you could get to know him before he passed away. Although he was mainly a GEC man, once he discovered RoseCraft, thanks to you, he was pretty excited about them. Hence, the French Broad he sent me. He was definitely a man who recognized and appreciated a quality built knife
Another superb showing on the WW Kevin ... you and 'Q' have an endless supply of Beeeeautiful Wharnies!knifeaddict1965 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 25, 2026 9:36 pm Great bunch of Wharnies posted here today!
Love those Wharncliffe Whittlers, msteele.
Great pics of that French Broad Jack & CRKT, Tony.
So many great Wharnies, Q! Your new 1st Run Tequila Sunrise 6207W is Beautiful!
Nice group of Wharncliffe Whittlers, Mel!
Here is a group shot of my Case 54W full size Wharncliffe Trappers.

Of course, I'm sure you can probably guess which one is my favorite it's literally the centerpiece of your 54W group 
A couple more great Wharnies from your beautiful collection, Q!QTCut5 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 25, 2026 11:02 pmYou got all the best ones right there, Kevinknifeaddict1965 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 25, 2026 9:36 pm Here is a group shot of my Case 54W full size Wharncliffe Trappers.
That one on the far left has the Italian Herringbone jigging I was telling you about that was on a Queen #51 I used to have. The bone on your Case 54W is a different color but the jigging looks identical. Do you happen to know what Case called that jigging?
Here's my only 54W, it had OD Green Canvas Micarta but I had BIGHEAD mod it with Jade G-10 scales:
Oh yeahknifeaddict1965 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 12:09 am I think Case refers to that as Crow's Feet Jigging, but I have always called it Italian jigging as well.
BTW... I assume you remember I got that one from the Wharncliffe King of Napo'opo'o.
Crow's Feet...........I thought that one looked awfully familiar 
That's a pretty good run so far, I'd sayDinadan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 5:40 pm By my calculation this is week 33 of Wharncliffe Wednesday. Not a single week has gone by without a set of posts. I guess that is a pretty good indicator of the level of interest in Wharncliffes, at least by a few of us. As of right now, 534 posts: 40635 views.
Let's keep it rolling for week 34.....
But, it is a pretty interesting knife, nevertheless, and it's always nice to see such to compare and contrast Thanks for posting it Appreciate how between you and Mel there are some "true" Wharncliffes being posted in this thread (by which I mean both frame and blade) keeping it real. I did not know that there is a Wharncliff knife frame, I always thought that it is a blade pattern. I get to learn new stuff posting here, so enlighten me. If my wife was still with us she'd say SEE! You DON'T know it all!Dinadan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2026 6:36 pm Q - As usual, those are some beautiful knives you have posted!
Charlie - I do not think that knife can qualify as a Wharncliffe, either frame or blade. But still nice to see. Thanks for posting!
Joe - that old Empire is a really nice survivor!
Here are four Wharncliffes from four companies. I have posted these before, but let's say that I am doing comparative blade etches today.

and great show! Y'all are posting some Beauties today! Thank you, Q.
