Nice RRR, Tony....and fabulous photo as well. Although excellent photography is par for the course for you, your professional, magazine-worthy photos add a touch of class to the forum and set a high standard for the rest of us to aspire to. Many ::tu::

A spectacular pair of Tony Bose Collaboration Abalones followed by a festive pair of Christmas colored Lansky1 Ratcliffe mods....wow, you guys sure know how to set the Christmas Eve tone and supercharge the holiday spirit ::woot::

In keeping with Kevin and John's two Case knife Christmas theme, my submission for this Christmas Eve WW (week #24 on the 24th!) is this pair of Crimson & Kentucky Bluegrass 6107W Mini Trappers (Oh no! not more 07Ws---they're like houseguests who refuse to leave this thread :lol: )

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to one and all ::groove::

Hey Tony - would you be so kind as to tell me the name of that RR pattern ? I looked all over eBay and found TONS of wharncliffe knives RR makes that I was unaware of - some really innovative patterns (they made this huge "rhino" wharncliffe that is a take on an elephant toe that looks neat) ... couldn't find yours though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335769740760?_ ... R6j-o4vqZg

As usual, nice 07w's Q - dig the crimson one especially ::tu::

John, this RRR is called a Hedgehog if I remember correctly. SMKW or eBay would be the best places to find it. I am not sure and will check with my supplier, but the pattern may be discontinued. Get back to you soon.

Thanks 'Q' ... the photo is an old one from my store listings. Sadly, I think these Hedgehogs are now discontinued. They are a really good knife ... still using the one I got from you. ::handshake::

Thanks Tony for the intel on that pattern ... was shocked to see that the RR "Reserve" line uses D2 tool steel in some their blades now ... I hate to use the term legitimize, but if it's real D2, the new RR's have stepped it up .

Nice pair of Abalone knives, Kevin. Real beauties!

Very Christmas Case knives, Lansky!

Corn Creek, that is a tough looking Rough Rider.

Q, that is a fine pair of Mini Trappers.

My submission this week is also a Case Mini Trapper, my very first of that pattern. Brand new, A Christmas present from me to me.

And a very fine self-gift it is, too, Mel ::tu:: Although, I will point out that what you have there is actually a Tiny Trapper pattern #154 which is smaller than a Mini Trapper pattern #07 and the smallest of Case's Trapper patterns. I'm not sure of the exact length of a Case 154 Tiny Trapper, but I expect size-wise it will fit in perfectly with your extensive Peanut collection :)

Great Ratcliffes, John! ::tu::
Cool Hedgehog, Tony! ::tu::
We can never see too many of your beautiful Mini-Ts, Q, and these are another great pair. ::tu::
Great little Tiny Trapper, Mel! ::tu::
After seeing all the Christmas colors posted, my OCD wouldn't allow me to not post some reds & greens as well. ::facepalm::
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas. ::handshake::

Thank you, Q. As you probably figured out, I am not too knowledgeable about Case patterns.

Those are four nice Case knives, Kevin.

Tom, that GEC is perfect.

Merry Christmas, Fellows!

Kicking off Wharncliffe Wednesday with a group shot of some Stag Seahorse Whittlers.
Hope everyone has a Safe & Happy New Year!

That's a mighty impressive pile-o-seahorses ya got there, Kevin. That Green Stag definitely is not one that's seen very often....pretty rare indeed 8) ::tu::


This 2016 Case Blue Sparkle Kirinite Swayback Gent seems like an appropriate New Year's Eve Wharnie to ring in the new year ::nod::

HAPPY NEW YEAR ::ds:: May all your wildest Wharncliffe wishes be fulfilled in 2026 ::woot::

Kevin, those are eleven(!) beautiful Seahorse knives.

Q - that Sparkle Swayback is a fine selection for New Year's Eve.

I am going to change things up a bit with an old Craftsman. It started its existence with two clip blades, but both were tipped when I got hold of it. So now it is a Sheepsfoot and a Wharncliffe.

Great Wharnies, fellas! ::tu::
Appreciate your replies Q & Mel. ::handshake:: I really like the Green Stag Seahorse, Q, but wish the Stag had more of a greenish tint like a few others I have seen from this series.
Getting ready to head out for New Years Eve festivities, so I figured I would post another shot of a couple of Easy Open Stag Wharncliffe Copperheads on my way out.
Happy New Year Everyone! ::ds::

Great shot of those beautiful Swaybacks dancing the night away. That Ivory Mod and Deep Canyon Chestnut are Fantastic! ::tu::
Our New Years Eve celebrating has calmed significantly the past few years as well. We get together with friends at one of our houses and are usually home and ready for bed well before the ball drops.

Very good knives for a Wednesday, Chickenman.

Kevin and Q, nice knives in your second postings. Those knives were a beautiful way to end the year 2025. It seems like it was a bit slow this week, maybe because of New Year's Eve.

If I count correctly, this week we had:

Case__________17
Bulldog________1
Schrade________1
Winchester_____1

This is week 25, and we have not skipped a week. I think that is a pretty good indication of the popularity of Wharncliffes with some of us.
