Here's a shot of Wharncliffe Blues to revive this thread...and, perhaps inspire more Wharncliffe-o-philes to post their treasures. ::tu::

Mine is more of a Sheepcliffe Lansky mod.

Those two are great improvement. Would never get a regular muskrat to have two of the same blade. But that Wharn addition totally changes it up. Wow, really rocks Q. congrats.
Jerry, same. Looooooove the change in that. Improved big time
How long is the Lansky waiting list? Those two might make me take up Muskrat hunting and modding. Looks like an hour or so on the bench grinder might be in the future.

I don't know if this is a true wharncliffe but I like it. I made this from a virtualy worthless Sabre Monarch fixed blade..fits nicely in my front pocket...I need to polish it then sharpen it
.. I might carry it a little...5.5" OAL...

I'm so glad I got a few Lansky1 mods done when I did. ::ds:: :lol:

John...looks like you may have to quit your day job to work exclusively on knife mods...clearly the demand is there (you might even have to start actually charging for your work as well ::uc:: :shock: )

Looks like a genuine Wharncliffe to me. A little fixed blade Wharnie that fits in your pocket sounds just about perfect. ::tu::
Well done, Ryan. ::nod::

Thanks. Wouldn't dream of asking him to do it for free. Or if he's that busy. Maybe I'll just bash it against the bench grinder for a while and see what turns out.

Ryan, that Copperlock is a slick outfit. As Greg said, you better hang on to her but also to that knife. Congratulations.


I've been showing this around in other threads but maybe I can trot it out one more time here. A Christmas gift (I'm assuming) from Colonel26, it showed up on Christmas Eve. How fortuitist. Ain't she a beauty. One more time, thank you Cuz.
