I've actually been pricetracking the Stonewashed version on Amazon to check out the 14C28N steel. I'm just concerned that they modified the wharncliffe so that the point is too delicate. I guess it wouldn't be a hard use knife anyway.
Any other knives with a 3" or less 14C28N blade that they could recommend? I know I'm going to have a good look at that Bestech Imp (better steel I know). Be careful of what you wish for! 😅

bookworm133" or under? No, I think the Leek is about it. But you're absolutely correct: the tip of that blade breaks much too easily to allow it to be used for anything other than the lightest of chores.
If you'll go just a bit over 3", however, the Kershaw Skyline has 14C28N blade steel on a very nicely shaped, sturdy drop point that I believe is only about 3 1/8" or even less--very close to 3". And some people claim the skyline has the most comfortable handle of any knife theyve ever used.
Or the Kershaw Blue [edit: Kershaw BluR not BluE. 'Effing auto-correct]. is only 3 1/4", and it too has a solid drop point, a little recurved, I think.
There is also Real Steel at various 3.25 to 3.5 models, but my personal suggestion would be to get a Ruike brand , esp the Hussar. That has been my favorite example of 14C28N steel, and I've bought, sold, and bought again the Hussar four times now. The only problem is its 3.75+". Great knife and blade for the price though.
