Re: Wharncliffe Delica interest
The Wharncliffe blade is a significant upgrade to the Delica in any steel. I like the stainless variants for EDC and K390 for use as task knives.


Re: Wharncliffe Delica interest
the only time i've carried my whanrcliffe delica and wished i had a blade with belly was when i had to scrape stickers from a flat surface. whanrcliffe blades are horrible for that task, but i haven't had issues with them for anything else.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

It was my calendar submission this year. I am a huge fan!
Used it to poke holes in steel jar lids for a caterpillar habitat yesterday. Stropped back to shaving sharp

Re: Wharncliffe Delica interest
It's one of my favorite knives.
Re: Wharncliffe Delica interest
I feel I should kick myself for not buying a K390 wharnie when they were available and now I can’t find one anywhere. Stupid me…

This really faked me out. I saw a link and before I could read the comment my brain was thinking K390 Delica was available againmikey177 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 08, 2025 9:54 amIf you're okay with the next bigger size, KSF has the K390 Endela wharnie in stock.

Re: Wharncliffe Delica interest
I like both the Delica and Endela wharnies. In fact the longer Endela fits my hand better and the increased blade thickness is almost imperceptible.
I filed off the awkward finger scallop point on both, right where my middle finger lands.
