Great line up, the blade looks like a talon or claw to me, very attractive and potent. Means business. And cool to look at with long sexy sweeping curves. Congrats on a beauty. That and the Kroo are faaaaaaaaaaaabulouuuuuuuuuuus.

I posted this on the vintage MOP thread, but had to post it here also because it has one of the neatest small Wharncliffe master blades I have seen on a knife of this size, 2 7/8" closed. Also the Gladstone Germany tang stamp is one I have not seen either. I picked this up last weekend at a flea market.

WOW! Beautiful knives everyone!! I got turned on to wharncliffe blades when I joined AAPK.. there's just something about them, they just look "right" on a pocket knife..I put in a request for this Case copperlock for Christmas from my girlfriend..I chose synthetic scales as I plan on carrying it alot, figured it would hold up better as I have the "dropsies" sometimes....

I really like the looks of those copperlocks and these mini copperheads with Wharcliffes. ::tu::
Heck, I guess any pattern looks extra "TUFF" with a Wharcliffe blade. ::nod::

Here's a shot of Wharncliffe Blues to revive this thread...and, perhaps inspire more Wharncliffe-o-philes to post their treasures. ::tu::
