Here is a Winchester USA from 96 if I remember correctly.
Produced under license by Blue Grass Cutlery.
Slightly longer 'more pointy' blade than Case 55wh,

A very nice comparison picture of two big names in knives.
Rod Neep's website got me going again and when he showed the comparison picture of the seahorse and the original Rodgers Wharncliffe, well, I just had to have a seahorse too so I ordered a 2003 from Shepherd Hills, (also recommended by Rod.)

I now have about eight knives on order. I'm starting to scare myself.
Will post pictures when they arrive.

I even went on the Rodgers website but they don't seem to make Wharncliffes again.
So far I am resisting a very affordable Bulldog Wharncliffe in genuine ivory on Collector Knives, but Hukk's pictures are not helping at all.

Thanks to Rod Neep for that cool website.

I posted these once before, but here are a couple case classic wharncliff's. one is a regular production w/ mastadon ivory and the other is a 1 of 1 pre-prodution prototype.notice the shorter, slightly different blade. ps, you all have some really nice knives in this thread.

Wharncliffs have to be one of my favorites (I think I say that about all patterns.)

You all have some really nice ones there guys!

I've posted these in the "Classics" forum before, but now that we have a dedicated Wharncliffs forum going, here they are again.

Three Mastodon protos, and three pearl protos.

enjoy.......................

Really Nice! I'd have to say these are a favorite of mine also. But you guys that know me, know that the Barlow are my favorite. Super looking Warncliffes, thanks for posting.

Nice Johnnie!

Is that bone handle material?

This one is by a guy named Al Warren, he does great work! Here is a link to his website.

Thanks Sunburst

I met Al at the Oregon show three years ago, real nice guy. I asked him if I could spend a couple of days at his shop to try to learn the basics, he without hesitation said come on down. He lives about two hours from me, I still haven't made it! I think I have to many hobbies already.

Just a thought ; I hope you do not store the bone with the Celluloids.!!!

Not in the same case right...

No, they only come out for cleaning and photos.

Edgewise · Post by **Edgewise** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 4:12 pm

Gmusic, are all those from Case?
I love the width of those blades. I don't think I've seen any wider.

Well, better late than never, my first wharncliffe, Bulldog stag 5th gen.
Thanks to Rod Neep and the guys on this thread for the inspiration, and Collector Knives for carrying such an affordable beauty.

I have a Bulldog Whittler, Thor model 4 1/8 inch with second cut stag coming. I got it DIRT CHEAP on ebay for $38.66 which I think is a steal for this in a carbon steel model. Should be here by Wednesday.

I'll say!!!

Can't wait to see a picture.
What's second cut? Is it better than first cut? Is mine second cut?
If sometimes I make an inexperienced comment on a new knife pirchase, I trust you guys to put me right and not to pull any punches. O.K?
I can take it

.... maybe

..........

Edited: Would you believe, I just Googled second cut and they sent me right back to AAPK? Way to go AAPK!

Try this link, we had a discussion about secound cut stag. Keep in mind that Bulldog can dye the second cut to look like Red Stag (I have a proto that never went into production of this) or to look like REAL STAG. There is a winterbottom stag in that link, but they can dye it brown. The one I bought looks exactly like yours. Here are some samples, you can see how second cut can be jigged and dyed, but I like real second cut.

Look at Charlie's second cut stag, that is quite nice, what Bulldog uses could more correctly be called bone stag.
Although mine looks like stag, my intent is to rehandle it with someting else.
