What is that Bryan? I see a great looking knife but no tang stamp.
You're right, he doesn't stamp them. It's a Tim Britton and he signs them in cursive on the blade but it's hard to see. I'll see if I can get a pic. Thanks

Every time I buy another Wharncliffe I tell myself that it will surely satisfy my Wharncliffe craving once and for all....put an end to my runaway Wharncliffe addiction. But of course we all know that ain't gonna happen...addiction doesn't work like that (which is why it's called an addiction). So, I guess unless and until I get some kind of professional help or an intervention (and believe me, my wife has tried more than once or twice), I fear I will continue to add more and more Wharncliffes to my collection until there are finally no more Wharncliffes to be had. ::facepalm::

This Phoenix Jack is my first Tuna Valley (although surely not my last) and the latest addition to my collection / fix for my addiction.

Thanks guys. I seem to have a predilection for the Swayback pattern...dress it up with some nice stag (or ivory) and it's like pure heroin to a Wharncliffe junkie like me. ::oh_my::

Q, On a scale of 1 to 10 your knife is clearly a 20. Simply awesome.

Jerryd, I've always liked both the look and the feel of barnboard. Liking your Case bigtime.

As far as jigging goes, I would say the Barnboard ranks pretty high up on the list of my favorites and the color of your Mini Copperhead is fantastic, jerryd.

Fun Fact:
My Case Wharncliffe journey has been somewhat of a "Goldilocks" story. Once upon a time I discovered the _2109W Baby Copperhead which whetted my appetite for Wharncliffe blades. Eventually, I found that the size of the Mini Copper was just a tad too small for my taste and I moved on to the _1547WL Copperlock, which I found was a tad too big. Finally, I discovered the 07W Mini Trapper which was just right and I lived happily ever after! (The rest, as they say, is history.) :)

I've had a hankering for a custom K'roo Swayback for quite some time and I finally took the plunge.

This one sports a Warthog Tusk Ivory handle.
