History of the Wharncliffe Blade

The Wharncliffe design originates from 19th-century Great Britain. According to legend, Lord Wharncliffe sought to create a blade that was the antithesis of the narrow designs of his time—something wide and robust, capable of withstanding extreme loads. The result was the Wharncliffe blade, first produced in 1832, which has since become a classic among knife enthusiasts.

The RAVEN was developed by Blade Brothers Knives as a dedicated urban EDC tool. With its compact size and ergonomic handle, it is designed for maximum control during use. It has proven its effectiveness through rigorous testing, both as a utility tool and a reliable self-defense instrument.

3. Military & Tactical Use: Popular among military personnel, rescuers, and divers. The straight blade is indispensable for cutting seatbelts in emergencies or working with one hand without support. It has proven its worth from the battlefield to life rafts.

From the first cut, you will feel the strength and reliability of this urban fixed blade. The Wharncliffe geometry allows you to use the entire length of the cutting edge with complete control.

• Fixed blade with full tang
  The full-metal construction of the fixed-blade knife ensures strength, reliability, and power. The knife is made of 1.4116 stainless steel with a thickness of 5 mm, which is hardened to a hardness of 57 HRC. With such characteristics of the steel, the cutting edge of the knife remains sharp for a long time, and it can be sharpened independently without the use of a special tool.
• Wharncliffe blade type
  The RAVEN Wharncliffe knife by Blade Brothers Knives is a special city knife characterized by an ideal flat cutting edge and a spine that gradually tapers to the tip, creating a point. The biggest advantage of the Wharncliffe knife is that it cuts using the entire length of the cutting edge. At the same time, a fairly significant force can be applied to the blade. No matter where the cutting edge comes into contact with the material, it transfers energy directly to the point of contact, and you can constantly increase pressure as the cut deepens.
• Ideally flat cutting edge
  The excellent blade and comfortable, absolutely straight edge allow for thin and precise actions: cut a package at the post office, sharpen a pencil, or carefully cut tape on a box.
• Comfortable handle
  The textured handle is made of ABS plastic and does not slip in the hand. The attachment of the overlays is by screws, which can be tightened independently if necessary. There is a hole for the lanyard on the knife handle.
• Reliable sheath

The sheath has a removable steel clip that is compatible with the MOLLE system, which allows you to carry the knife in any convenient position. The holes in the sheath are compatible with TEK LOK.
