Vintage Wharncliffe Knives

Collectible straight-edge knives from Case, Buck, Al Mar, and Böker — vintage designs built to last.

Vintage Wharncliffe Knives & Straight-Edge Classics

Vintage Wharncliffe knives combine the elegant straight-edge design of the 19th century with the craftsmanship of classic American and European makers. Originally inspired by Lord Wharncliffe’s request for a precise, controllable blade shape, these knives have remained popular for utility, carving, and everyday carry for over a hundred years.

Collectors seek out Case XX, Buck, Al Mar, Böker, and other traditional brands that produced Wharncliffe-style blades during the mid-20th century. Their clean edge geometry and balanced feel make them ideal both for display and practical use.

Explore authentic vintage Wharncliffe-style knives below, sourced from trusted eBay sellers. Each listing offers a chance to own a piece of cutlery history—where timeless design meets enduring function.
