Wharncliff ?

#1

Post by TUG »

Hello, First post here.

I started out my love affair with knives 10 years ago with a Delica. Since then I have owned many brands. All were good knives, but Spyderco always comes up as the day in day out knife I always come back to.

Can't explain it, I guess they just seem like an old friend ........



My question is has Spyderco ever made a Wharncliff blade? I have become quite fond of this blade style. Maybe in the future?



Oh yea, Thanks Sal for starting me out on the right path, with the best darn usin knife ever made!

I'm also a big fan of the Wharncliffe. I think the closest thing to a Wharncliffe made by Spyderco would be the Centofante models, both now discontinued. I have one of the original aluminium models which has only recently been replaced by the Calypso Ltwt as my daily carry at work. The blade of the latter is almost a Wharncliffe and I have found it to be exceptionally useful. The blades on both these knives have a little belly unlike a true Wharncliffe.

Hi there ! You may wish to join me in my
quest for the "Millenium" clip-it with a
"Wharncliffe" blade. I too am an admirer
of this particular blade shape, and think
it would be something new for Spyderco ; you
may want to post a reply under the file
marked Spyderco "Millenium" clip-it.

A.E.T.
