If you are a Wharnie lover...

...then check out this big Boker, which is another Chad Los Banos design:



440C blade at nearly 4-in, G10 scales, 5.4 oz for $26.95 at Knifecenter:

This knife is really tempting me, because I love Wharcliffes.

Anyone else love Wharncliffes?

From the Wikipedia article on knife blades:
"A Wharncliffe blade is similar in profile to a sheep's foot but the curve of the back edge starts closer to the handle and is more gradual. Its blade is much thicker than a knife of comparable size."

The shape of the blade on this Boker is archetypal Wharncliffe.
