I don't know who that is.
But have a 10" contact wheel and thought it would look cool to sculpt the spine of the wharnie
I guess there is only so many way it can come out anyways lol
Janich bio below.
Just for the record: I really like some of your knives and didnt mean to imply anything.
Your knife above looks great.
I like big knives and fighting Bowies etc as much as the next guy but your knife is shaved down to the bare necessity and that has its own charm. Very efficient and good looking style to boot.
I like it, I like it a lot.
A wharnie is of course an established design from way before Janich made his knives. As you say, this a sculpted Wharnie and there are only so many variations of a theme.
Janich made the Ronin (and the folding Yojimbo) in a collab with Spyderco.
Sry for lengthy bio but could'nt link to non-supporting vendor.
