WE SUPPORT OURVETERANS & COPSThe newest addition to the Rapid Fire Series: the assisted Rapid Fire Wharncliffe is here. We are excited to bring a new design to the Rapid Fire Series, with a few extra upgrades along for the ride. The Rapid Fire Wharncliffe has the signature lightning-fast assisted action you know and love, with new jimping on the spine and flipper tab and the proven honeycomb G10 texture from the Rapid Fire Coyote.
This version runs Sandvik 14C28N blade steel with a smooth black DLC finish, the same finish as the original Rapid Fire Blackout. The Rapid Fire Series is trusted by the US Military, Border Patrol, LEOs, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal. EOD techs are the military’s bomb squad, and while you probably will not be using the Rapid Fire Wharney to dismantle explosive threats, it is nice to know your knife is trusted by those heroes.
Every Rapid Fire Wharncliffe ships with:
The Rapid Fire Series is known for extremely fast assisted deployment. Now you can deploy a big Wharncliffe blade, ready for any and all situations. Sandvik is a world-leading steel manufacturer in Sweden that makes advanced stainless steels, and their 14C28N offers a unique combination of excellent edge performance, high hardness, and corrosion resistance. We added a DLC coating for even more corrosion resistance and toughness, with a smooth blackout finish (not tumbled blackwash). New to this Wharncliffe design is added jimping on the spine and flipper tab.
The Rapid Fire Series has been evolving since 2017. The handle and ergonomics have been tested in the field by the US Military and LEOs, including EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) techs. Yes, the people who dismantle live bombs trust the Rapid Fire in their hand. The G10 honeycomb texture you will recognize from the best-selling Rapid Fire Coyote is seriously grippy, and we added milled jimping on the back palm area for no-slip traction and a solid four-finger grip. XL gloved hands? No problem.
The claim to fame of the Rapid Fire Series is the incredible assisted action. The internal torsion bar is loaded with insane torque and tension. One easy pull of the flipper tab and you will know why the name Rapid Fire fits perfectly. The Wharney fires into position with a loud, confident lockup and is immediately ready for action.
The Rapid Fire Series sits on the large side of the EDC spectrum, bordering on an XL knife. Even as a big assisted folder, the Wharney rides deep in your pocket, showing only the top of the black clip. It is set up for left or right-hand carry, and the clip screws sit flush with the handle for an easy, snag-free draw.
We have sold many thousands of Rapid Fire knives, and we are excited to add a Wharncliffe blade to the Series. If you are looking for a big, fast, assisted knife, look no further. You found it in the Rapid Fire Wharney Blackout.
RUGGED DESIGN. RAZOR PERFORMANCE.
