The original Wharncliffe blade pattern was created by an English nobleman who believed that its perfectly straight cutting edge and acute point would significantly enhance the functionality of the pocketknives of the day. Spyderco's Lil' Native Wharncliffe revitalizes that logic by empowering the compact, ultra-convenient Lil' Native with a full-flat-ground Wharncliffe style blade. The spine of the satin-finished CPM S30V stainless steel blade curves gracefully downward to meet the straight cutting edge at an exceptionally keen point. Its edge and point tuck into an ergonomic handle featuring nested stainless steel liners, peel-ply-tectured G10 scales, a high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, and a deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry.
