Wharncliffe Whittler Tortoise Shell

Here's one that came in over the weekend and my wife says it's for my Birthday but I say it's for now. My birthday is next week! These knives have a very old timey look I think and that's why I had to get one, that and the fact that it's 1 of 8 made!


These are not as long as a Melon Tester, just fit the hand better and the snap is GEC all the way.

I have to admit, I have this thing for pinched nickel bolsters!

From what I've seen of your keep my guess is you got a thing for swedges,long pulls,threaded bolsters,beautiful and unique handle materilas,limited production,fine craftsmanship,etc LOL.......'ol school brother Fine look'n knife. I still see that Abalone cotton sampler of yours you posted a while back in my dreams,stunning knife!!

That is one elegant looking knife. How wide & tall are they? I cannot tell from any pics I have seen.

Yep Earl, that pretty much covers it! Threaded and pinched baby, threaded and pinched!
Annnd, sometimes even slanted bolsters too.

JP, thats a heck of a nice knife! If it's 1 of 8 made, only carry it on Sundays.......... AND DON'T CLEAN YOUR FINGERNAILS DURING THE SERMON!!!!!
