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.

All Beauties John.

Three faves

3 fabulous favs.

My little Wharncliffe EDC belt knife....
Gets used every day, for cutting food, grabbing splinters, opening boxes and everything in between..!

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:

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

Really nice old knives guys.

Turned out well!!

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.

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.

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.

I like it "Q" handles and all. I agree with Jerry, Lambsfoot!

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).
