Police 3 Southard Regrind Wharncliffe

#1

Post by tacticooledc »

Hey all, finally got in contact of Brad. Looks like he finished up my blade for the most part, but I ended up asking him to get rid of the serrations because I just can't stand sharpening those :mad:

Hopefully it doesn't end up TOO skinny lol

This is the pic he sent me before he took off the serrations

Blade too short, don't like the handle texturing, not a fan of s30v, not a huge fan of linerlocks, and besides, I already had this serrated police that gets no use- I prefer the more geometrical wharncliffe with a very acute point rather than the round bulbous wharncliffe.

Cool man. Brad does good work. If anyone could pull off your dream it would be him.

Yeahh, maybe I shouldn't have asked him to kill the spyderedge. Even my girl suggested I don't shave off extra metal since its already an anorexic blade..I just don't see much of a point to a wharncliffe regrind with serrations since the whole idea is an ultra fine point and a completely flat blade.

Just got it in the mail. Really happy with how it turned out except I'm confused why he didn't make a perfectly pointy tip- almost like he was worried it would be too fragile if it was straight so he arched it up for half a millimeter or so :confused:

Love how much handle I have, and the blade isn't too short

Cool!

Looks like it will perform well. Stab a few boxes and see what you think :)

I know what you're saying about the stabbing- it's not like I'll be stabbing on a daily basis with what's really mostly meant to be an sd knife...my blackhawk be-wharned has a perfectly pointy tip and I've never had it chip or break

Well my Meyerco Wharning's tip hasn't broken or chipped too. Must help that I haven't used it at all. ;)

Oh my only point is it should perform admirably.

The Janich-style modified wharny is quite extreme and far from typical. Most of Brad's wharnies adopt a traditional approach.

I specifically asked him to model it after my be-wharned knife since I've come to love it so much :D


And thanks Mr. Janich! I'm sure there's plenty of us here, but I'm a huge fan of your designs and teachings. I'm gonna try to get Brad to grind my Endura in a similar manner as your custom Endura- except maybe I'll use the model with the wave feature
