The NKD Wharncliffe 80 comes with a sheepsfoot blade profile. The blade is very well suited for all rough carving and cutting tasks. With its fine point, the blade is able to handle precise cuts, making pulling cuts particularly easy. Its history can actually be traced back to a specific gentleman of the 19th century—Colonel James Archibald Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie—the first Lord Wharncliffe of England.

Handle is black stained Finnish birch finished with China wood oil, a mixture of tung oil and linseed oil.

The sheath made in 3 mm vegetable tanned Spanish cattle leather it has great retention and stiffness. Featuring a snap button to secure the knife. Finished in a classical deep brown it is as stylish as the NKD Wharncliffe knife itself.
