All About Pocket Knives

Gary, I can't help but drool uncontrollably every time I see your group of Rigid wharnies. Fine looking knives, indeed.

I just can't ever seem to get enough wharnies to satisfy the hunger; as soon as I get a new one, I begin looking for just one more.

Here's my little collection of Case 1549WL Wharncliffe Copperlocks.

Wow Q, those two in stag are incredible, gorgeous stag, cool lanyard fob too, and an ivory to boot. Fabulous line-up. Great to see, thanks for posting.

QT.....Thanks, I just got the second 4 inch. There very hard to find anymore. If I see another one I try to get it for you.

Love those Copper lock Wharnies you have, Do you have the Case "Purple Haze" Copper lock Wharnie. I found this one around December 2016.

Right On, Brah...Mahalo. I wouldn't mind having one like your 3.25" shown at the bottom of the photo...that one's my favorite; I really like the frame pattern on that one.

I had a Purple Haze Copperlock but I sent it to glennbad for modification...it now has genuine elephant ivory scales which I gotta admit, I like quite a bit better. Glenn also rehandled a 31549WL CV (yellow Delrin) Copperlock in dark gnarly stag for me (barehead). Both glennbad mods are in my photo.

Thank, it's been around a bit. One of the small blades have been broken off but it's still a good user. Stag is nice.thanks again.

One more to add to the ever-growing pile...

Here is a Case Copperlock with a wharncliffe blade.

Hey, Texas Jerry. What's the closed length on that little beauty?

In love with the Northwoods Willamette Whittler Greg sent to me.

All super looking wharncliffes - Gary, Jdub, Jerry, JerryD and Q ... can never get enough of that pattern ....

I have one of those Willamette (raspberries !) Whittlers, 3 7/8":

What is that Roland? Mastodon ivory handles?

The handles are mammoth ivory. Although mastodons went extinct around the same time as mammoths ( ~ 12,000 years ago) as far as i know mastodon ivory is not often found whereas mammoth is coming out of thawing permafrost regularly.

Jerryd, it is the larger Copperlock at 4 1/4". The pattern number is 61549WL where the "W" signifies Wharncliffe and the "L" signifies Lockback. I've not carried this particular knife, but have a few of the copperlocks that I do put into my pocket on occasion and they are a pleasant size (for me) to carry. I prefer the 4 1/4 (549 pattern) to the 3 5/8 (749 pattern).

Your Northwoods Willamette whittler sure is pretty!

Jerry, thanks for the info on the Copperlock and the compliment on the Northwoods Willamette. Greg sure set me up with that one.

Roland where have you been hiding that one. Wow that is a good looking knife. What else are you hiding from us?

"What else are you hiding from us?"
Well, i do have a couple more Northwoods with Wharncliffe or Wharncliffe-like blades. The pen knife & whittler have true Wharncliffe blades.

If the Norfolk and the Norfolk Whittler have "true" Wharncliffe blades, I'm curious what you would call the blade profile on the top two knives (bottom two in the group photo): the Fremont Jack & Broadway Jack?

~Q~

That's a fine gaggle of geese you have there Roland.


~Q~ don't you remember? They're sheepcliffs. A Sheepfoot went out, got all drunked up and went home with a Wharncliffe. Nine months later, Sheepcliffe.

Ah...silly me...I got it all backwards...thought they had a Wharnfoot.
