Re: Wharncliffe Knives
This Copperhead has been seen elsewhere, but I'll post it here, too. I like a Wharncliffe blade!

Don't know why they call it a Hedgehog, but they picked a good looking equal end cigar pattern.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Saw this little (2½" closed) Made-in-Japan United Cutlery UC426 Wharncliffe half-whittler and just couldn't resist buying it even though it's a full inch shorter than my preferred size. I love the Scagel-style open pull, but the size renders this knife pretty much useless to me for all practical purposes. It's fine for the Wharncliffe collection, though. If it had a lanyard hole it would make a good keychain knife.
For size comparison: here it is next to a 3½" Case 6107W Wharncliffe Mini Trapper:

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
With so few offerings sometimes you have search for hidden Wharncliff blades and release them.
Really nice old knives guys.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Can't decide if this Winchester Trademark Swell End Jack has a Wharncliffe or Sheepfoot blade.
What do you guys think?
It does have a bright & busy handle, of that I have no doubts.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Several years back, I took to calling that one a "sheepcliffe". "Sheepfoot" is probably the most accurate. Giving consideration to the taper of the blade, you can't rule out "lambfoot".
You decide.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Yep...according to that chart, mine looks more similar to a "real lamb foot" profile......in fact, now that I think about it, I used to have a Red/Yellow checkered knife just like this Blue/Silver Winchester but it had "Real Lamb Foot" etched on the blade.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
I like it "Q" handles and all. I agree with Jerry, Lambsfoot!

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Here's a little (3" closed) Zenith brand Wharncliffe jack made in Germany with shadow pattern French ivory (celluloid?) covers. No half stop; excellent snap. I'm guessing the date of manufacture to be approximately mid 1900s (1950-1970).
