If I understand correctly you have a Chokwe in your pocket...clovisc wrote:all of you wharnie junkies are going to seriously enjoy the Chokwe Folder. :D It's been in my pocket since it arrived a couple weeks ago, and feels like a natural extension of my body... :D
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Is it out??
War is mostly waiting.
Nice pic of the knife in my pocket :) That's the classic wharnie shape I love - no curves at all to the edge with a beautiful curving point to the tip. I know a larger Urban (Caly?) with a lock would be swell. I think, still that we need a large and smaller Salt wharnie - PE and SE - I love PE, but a SE wharnie would :eek: :eek: outperform my Tasman for cardboard.Axlis wrote:Heres a token pic to get things started, long live the wharn!

:Di can say conclusively, however, that it will blow you wharncliffe fans away. :D
totally amazing, large folding EDC knife... with extremely interesting looks, and some way cool history.

Same as the small ones pretty much, plus the added benefit of an excellent SD shape (hope I NEVER have to find that out).roguesoul wrote:Short edge wharncliffes are fine but I was unable to put longer edge wharnies to good use. I would like to have an Atlantic Salt in plain edge though. At what tasks will a 4" or so length wharncliffe blade excel?

The Chokwe is really pretty much a "California clip" blade, not a wharncliffe. Not to dis you or the knife - it is beautiful and I love that blade shape - so useful, but I think true Wharncliffes have a top sloping curve to them and a perfectly flat edge. Still, I can see how you would see wharncliffe fans as liking the Chokwe, if that is or isn't what you're saying - just not sure what you're meaning. Also, I'm glad such a deserving person has one before everyone else - I'm sure it means a lot to you :) . It's a REALLY nice design. :cool:clovisc wrote:all of you wharnie junkies are going to seriously enjoy the Chokwe Folder. :D It's been in my pocket since it arrived a couple weeks ago, and feels like a natural extension of my body... :D

the blade shape has been around longer than the state of cali.what i'm saying is... it's only a couple millimeters from being a perfectly flat edge. anyone who likes the wharncliffe blade shape is going to dig it.

Well, that's what I was quite sure you meant and yes, I do like it a lot. Thanks for the reply, clovisc. :cool:clovisc wrote:it's a "chokwe clip" if anything. not many chokwes in california.

I am a big fan of my recently purchased Wharnie Urban.

The wharnie is my favorite blade profile, folder or fixed. I carried a 7" wharncliffe neck knife on a 3000 mile hike we did in 2006, and was hooked.
I decided that compared to a blade with a lot of belly, it was halfway to a hawkbill - that relatively lowered point could really catch and dive, cutting aggressively when you needed it. Aside from heavy cutting, it acts like a scalpel and is easy to sharpen.
More wharncliffe Spydies would be awesome.
