Charles, I think I may have the purveyor's photos saved in my "RYU" folder on my laptop... Are the bolsters dovetailed or inlayed? ...with gold? Of course, I like that knife quite a bit since I bought another example of the pattern. How does the blade size compare to some of the oldies from your collection?

Jake: It is the same knife that you have the pictures of. I traded for it at the Tulsa show a few years ago. Main blade fills the available space and is similar to knives of it's size. Best of all it's a wharncliffe.

Thank you, Charlies. I'm a big fan of Ryu's work and Wharncliffes.

I got this wharncliffe bladed folder from Rick Menefee at the Blade Show. Rick calls it a Front Pocket and it has Fossil Ivory scales. Being a HUGE wharncliffe fan, I really love this knife.

Agreed. I particularly enjoy looking at the middle one in your pictures.

Added a Wharncliffe this week:

Northwoods calls it a mini-moose, from reading I figure it's a Hawbaker Muskrat. In either case, it's got a Wharncliffe :thumbup:

This is just an inexpensive little one. The blade has started to patina nicely since these pics.
