Oh no, I love wharnies and sheepsfoot blades. I carry a serrated wharncliffe delica every day and often have a sheepsfoot/wharny traditional on me. I love those blade styles. I just didn't much like using the yo2.Evil D wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 10:23 amknivesandbooks wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 7:54 amI didn't much like the yo2 as an edc tbh. They are lookers though.
I love wharnies and I especially love the ergonomics of the Yojimbo 2 but I do think I prefer to have a slight amount of belly as long as it also has a low tip. I've found the Sliverax performs very similarly to a wharnie but also has just enough belly to make it a bit more versatile.
That said I also EDC an Autonomy and so far I haven't ran into a single situation where being a wharnie has been a problem. It seems the vast majority of things I cut I'm holding in my off hand in mod air.

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life!
Re: Salt 1
This is one of the reasons I really like my Sliverax. I cut up a bunch of cardboard last weekend and the blade stayed in the cut very nicely. I like that it's very Wharnie-ish yet is also has some belly.Evil D wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 10:23 amknivesandbooks wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 7:54 amI didn't much like the yo2 as an edc tbh.

That's in part thanks to the negative blade angle and because of the low point in relation to the handle. I've been preaching the gospel about this stuff for a while now, I hope it catches on.

Re: Salt 1
I'd read that in Sliverax thread and that's one of the reasons I decided to give the model a try. Glad I did!
