The Diamondback Knifeworks Quill Wharncliffe is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry and general outdoor tasks. With a 3-inch wharncliffe-profile blade in CPM S90V stainless steel and a 4-inch titanium handle, this is a no-nonsense EDC blade that doesn't bloat your pocket. The stonewashed finish on both blade and handle gives it a working aesthetic—this isn't a safe queen, it's a tool you'll actually use on the job, in camp, or around the property.
The wharncliffe shape is popular among outdoorspeople and working folks because it offers a flat cutting edge and a straight spine, making it precise for detail work and reliable for everyday slicing and splitting tasks. CPM S90V is a high-vanadium steel known for edge retention and corrosion resistance, a smart choice if you're working near water or in harsh conditions. The titanium handle is lightweight and tough, resisting corrosion and wear over years of use.
If you want a mid-sized folding knife that doesn't try to be a kitchen sink, and you appreciate honest design over flashy marketing, the Quill fits the bill. It's the kind of blade that disappears into your pocket and shows up when you need it.
