2024 New Product: Wharncliffe Deploy

By Buck Knives

For 2024, Buck Knives is adding a blade shape variation to the Deploy and Mini Deploy Series. These automatic knives with a drop point blade shape were originally launched in 2023 and have been a best seller ever since.

This year, we’re introducing the same style and quality with a Wharncliffe blade.

The 838 Wharncliffe Deploy and 839 Wharncliffe Mini Deploy Blackout Pros

Offered in three different colors and two sizes, the Deploy measures 5.00” when closed and boasts a 3.125” Wharncliffe blade. The Mini Deploy measures within the California legal limit for autos at 3.75” when closed, plus a compact 1.75” blade.

Both the Deploy and Mini Deploy feature a recess button for an easy and fully automated action. As an added safety feature, the full-sized Deploy also includes a button lock.

The standard model comes with a 154CM stainless steel blade, while the Blackout Pro style of each size is upgraded to S35VN stainless steel with a Cerakote coated blade for additional corrosion resistance.

The Wharncliffe blade shape is unique with a curved spine and acute tip, making this blade exceptionally sturdy. The curved spine creates a blunt front edge, minimizing the risk of accidental piercing when in use, yet the acute tip is great for any detailed work.

Finally, both sizes come with a stainless steel Cerakote coated removable pocket clip. The Deploy pocket clip is also reversible for an ambidextrous carry.

History of the Northwest – Edward Pulaski and the Great Fire of 1910

“We reached the mine just in time, for we were hardly in when the fire swept over our trail. I ordered the men to lie face down upon the ground of the tunnel and not dare to sit up unless they wanted to suffocate, for the tunnel was filling with fire gas and smoke. One man tried to make a rush outside, which would have meant certain death. I drew my revolver and said, ‘The next man who tries to leave the tunnel I will shoot.’ ”- Edward Pulaski
