All About Pocket Knives

Nice. I love those old classy knives no matter where they come from. ___Dave

Jerry I agree with LB, that Damascus is terrific! I can imagine being blown away by receiving such a gift. Your daughter made a great choice.

Lyle, at 4" that is a big one. Great knife, and sheepcliff does seem very accurate.

Msteele, that knife has wonderful features, with lovely bone, shield and blades. Is the secondary actually a skinny clip blade or has it been sharpened on the blade back? It looks by the placement of the nail nick that it was intentional, which seems an interesting and uncommon arrangement.

Beechtree, I've looked and looked at that blade and still can't make up my mind on whether or not it's original, there aren't any tell tale swedges to give me a clue. I think it is, but can't be sure. I'm just waiting for another example to give me a hint.

Nice knife msteele6 ... I can relate to picking up knives not in your focus, happens on occasion to me as well... I just can't resist a classic looking old knife especially if it is somewhat unique and/or a desirable pattern in good condition... I would have grabbed the same knife you have if I saw it for sale

Msteele - That is a very fine wharncliffe, and it is in great condition for its age. I can certainly see why you had to have it.

Lyle - I really like that Captain's Rooster. From the first time I saw a photo of one of those it really appealed to me. Here is another example of that pattern.

I like 'em too Mel,that knife I posted is not mine,wish it were. Yours is really nice.

This one is,and a true wharncliffe blade. 4'' too

Those are some awesome knives Mel and Lyle ... and both knives sport a real nice etch!!

Two favorite Wharns.

Nice knives I-man

Is that Tidioute a jumbo sleeveboard with a hefty wharncliffe? Sweet!! Must make a nice EDC... and of course the other GEC is no doubt a popular carry by many... may consider one myself ..

Longblade, it was called a "Little Carver" when I got it over a year ago. #26, 3 inch closed, but so tight and stout, very thick stock, wide body so it's mega rock solid and tough. Great snap and action, hefty for so small. Great knives. If I ever see another I'll get it.

Nice pickup Jerry ... nice pocket size too

Has anybody ever seen a jack with a tribal spear master and a wharncliffe secondary blade..... just thinking that would be a cool design and good carry....

Get yourself a S&M File & Wire English Jack like this (kind of expensive and difficult to find) or something similar. Change the profile on the clip blade to Wharncliffe. Here's one where the guy modified the spear blade but you could easily go the opposite way and modify the clip blade.

Thanks Jerry ... looks like a possibility .... I don't know much at all about modern makers and quality... something I will ponder and decide

If ya can't find what you want, make it or have it made.

Whoaaaa Jerry, that modified Wharncliffe on that Jack is incredible, looks factory, and better than what you usually see on secondaries. Fabulous job on the swedge, who does mods for you? Great looking knife now.

Jerry - that modified Jack is fine! The folks over at Queen ought to copy that pattern for a run.

Not my knife. A guy down in Southern Missouri did that for a guy on another forum. Sorry I don't recall either name but I may have it around here someplace. I would think any competent knife mechanic could reprofile that blade.

I actually found an S&M F&W of that model on ebay at a steal and deal price that I was going to have done. But I got to yacking on the phone and missed it. Torqued my jaws something fierce.

Ahhhh ha ha ha ha, been there done that.

Couple more favorite Wharns.
