I wonder if Lord Wharncliffe had any idea of the ripple effect his invention would have on knife collectors two centuries later?

Here's my latest Wharncliffe addition: A.G. Russell Stag Swayback Jack made in Maniago, Italy, using M390 steel.

Most of the ones I see have dagger blades. The Wharncliffe is MUCH more practical!

Didn't I see somewhere that you had some trouble with that one?

Yes, jerryd, that is correct...the opening/closing action is not smooth and snappy...it walks with a limp and doesn't have much to say, i.e., slow walk & no talk.

I'm trying to fix the issues; but, in the meantime, it's pretty much just eye-candy.

Speaking of "eye-candy" (although these two are definitely more than just lookers)

Schrade+ USA 175 (modified by muskrat man):
T.A. Davison Buffalo Horn Swayback

Wow Q, that Schrade and the TA Davidson are beauties. Love the white bone and the buffalo horn. Fabulous pair. Congrats.

All outstanding knives Q! Especially those last two!

Mahalo, Ivoryman & Tom (my fellow Wharncliffe junkies )

Here's another recent acquisition that I picked up in a trade with knifeaddict1965. (I should mention that this 6107(W) was not actually part of the agreed upon trade deal, but an unexpected add-on by a fellow collector who clearly understands my Wharncliffe addiction all too well. )

2021 Case 6149W Burnt Cream Barnboard Jigged Bone Wharncliffe Copperhead

Fresh out of the oven and still warm. Great knife Q.

Yes, indeed, Floyd...Thank you...and believe it or not, it smells almost as good as fresh out-of-the-oven bread...I love the smell of oil on a new knife (although the smell of "burnt cream" no so much)

Here's a Case/Zippo 6107(W) Mini Trapper fresh out of Lansky1's famous Wharncliffe mod shop.

Modified Wharncliffe on a Lone Wolf Loveless Mammoth Ivory "City Knife"
"Scagel Cut" Wharncliffe on a K'roo Custom Stag Sleeveboard

Great looking additions Q! I especially like that Lansky1 mod.

Mahalo, Tom. I love all my Lansky1 Mini-T mods--but he's also done a few other interesting and unique Muskrat mods for me that I also love...his work is impeccable, high-quality, factory-looking (actually even better than factory; closer to "custom"). The best word I can think of to describe his Wharncliffe mods is "precision". Essentially, what he does is turn run-of-the-mill factory production knives into semi-custom, one-of-a-kind knives.

Very nice knives you have posted here, QT.

Here are four wharncliffe body knives which also have wharncliffe blades.

Lovely quartet Mel
