Porpoise Wharncliffe - Black

The Skallywag Tactical Porpoise Wharncliffe is built for users who demand maximum control, superior tip precision, and dependable performance in a compact everyday carry platform. Retaining the rugged construction and refined ergonomics of the original Porpoise, this Wharncliffe variant offers a straight-edged blade profile ideal for utility cuts, scoring, slicing, and detailed work. Whether you're opening boxes, cutting through heavy material, or handling fine tasks, the Wharncliffe geometry provides a consistent angle of attack and exceptional cutting stability.

At its core, the Porpoise Wharncliffe features a 3.5-inch N690 stainless steel blade, chosen for its reliable edge retention, resistance to corrosion, and balanced toughness. Heat-treated to 59–61 HRC, the blade maintains a strong, long-lasting edge suited to both daily tasks and more demanding applications. Measuring 0.10 inches thick, the blade offers a sleek cutting geometry without compromising strength. 

Deployment is smooth and effortless thanks to the knife’s bearing-driven action, allowing fast one-handed opening. The proven crossbar lock mechanism provides secure, ambidextrous lockup for confident use in any orientation. The handle, constructed from textured, durable G10, ensures a stable, comfortable grip in wet or dry conditions while maintaining an impressively light overall weight of 3.5 ounces.

A coated aluminum backspacer and matching coated aluminum pocket clip keep the Porpoise Wharncliffe lightweight, balanced, and ready for daily carry. Its slim 0.45-inch overall thickness allows the knife to ride comfortably in the pocket without printing or creating unwanted bulk.

Available in Black or Tan, the Porpoise Wharncliffe blends precision cutting capability with rugged everyday reliability. Whether you're an EDC enthusiast, tradesperson, or field user looking for a Wharncliffe that performs consistently day after day, this knife is engineered to deliver.
