92 Talons , To wharnecliffe or to not wharncliffe? that is the question
Great Eastern Cutlery annouced to distributors and dealers that there would be a offering of the 92 Talon in Tidioute and Northfield in the usual way they always do. I was personally thinking that the 92 was not that exciting, man was I ever wrong! The first of these arrived in Ebony wood a wharncliffe blade #920114BE ( bare end) and a spear blade 922114BE . I love a wharnie and i opened it first... YEP!
thats it it felt great in my hand and had a tight wobble free ,centered wharnecliffe blade. The spear point the 922114 was just as nice. I have been frequenting the Blog by JJ at JJ's General Store
trying to get a grasp on the whittling art/sport , When i saw these knives, I thought this is it!
What do you think? the Northfields are starting to come in now, but the Tidioutes hae shown in handle materials such as Micarta,jig bone, wood, acrylic. I say good job GEC !GEC,GEC
Which do you prefer the wharnecliffe or the spear point?

Wharncliffe blade from the Gepetto on the Viper frame. I'm drooling just thinking of that one. Lol.

J.J. Smith III said:I think that GE is capitalizing on the popularity of the Viper. As a wharnie fan, I like that version. As a general use knife, the spear looks great. Not too fond of the swell center frame on this one though.
Now, I'd sure love for them to produce one with a full size frame with only a 2" blade. That would be a great whittling knife.
