I'm seeing a number of similarly shaped blades on modern knives these days. I'd describe it as a sheep/lambsfoot with a gentle upward curve to the edge, and I don't hate it for slicing.Just spotted this Chinese-made Gerber Straightlace slipjoint. Not remotely traditional, so I've cropped the pic. Gerber are calling the blade a Sheepsfoot, which it certainly isn't. Certainly not a Lambsfoot either, but it's interesting to see how many similar blade shapes are appearing (sometimes called a 'Reverse Tanto').
There doesn't seem to be much agreement on what to call it. Not a lambsfoot, though. 
GOOD MORNING GUARDIANS !
I am pleased to report I had a good night sleep.
On our way now to drop our puppy at the vet (that has just reopened ) for his overdue “ fixing” lol
Stunning photos I'm seeing a number of similarly shaped blades on modern knives these days. I'd describe it as a sheep/lambsfoot with a gentle upward curve to the edge, and I don't hate it for slicing.
For me, the #1 feature that makes a lambsfoot a lambsfoot is a straight edge.
I was going to say "like my YSL Schnitt vom Morgen", but that has a straight edge. And it's a couple decades old, not that modern.I'm seeing a number of similarly shaped blades on modern knives these days.

Hmm. You bring up an interesting question.I was going to say "like my YSL Schnitt vom Morgen", but that has a straight edge. And it's a couple decades old, not that modern.
Otherwise, a perfect example of what you were talking about.
This isn't it:
Nice!

Good Morning Guardians

I just declared that "For me, the #1 feature that makes a lambsfoot a lambsfoot is a straight edge." and yet...
On a lambfoot with some wear, is it necessary to reestablish that perfect straight edged point? It would involve removing more steel and shortening the life of the blade.
Good morning Guardians! I’m carrying my William Rodgers this morning! Hope y’all have a great day!
Oh, Gee! Original Guardian.
Original Guardian Edition SFO by Jack Black, that is.
That's a nice one Greg!
Thanks, GT.Nice historical photo, FBC, and the 2-tone horn is one of my favorites among your lambsfoot knives!
Is the car a German model?
Betty!! Bam-ba-Lamb!!
Are you left-handed, FBC? I learned a few guitar chords, once upon a time, and my daughter played violin for many years while I "supervised" practice, so I know a little about stringed instruments, and the strings under Betty look backwards!
Thanks, Jack.Thanks for the fly-past Kevin!
Thanks, Jack.
Cool video. I work out by the airport and there is a guy that has a Russian Mig ( I think ) and takes it out for some passes every once in awhile. I will see if I can catch a video of it one day.
Your Lambsfoot is looking VERY cool too Kevin Is that a Paladin Press title? Had a hard rain yesterday. This barrel floated down the street in front of our house.
That's a HARD rain! Nice pic of your Lambsfoot Les
Here's something else I think we should worry about: if we keep Flitzing off our patinas and starting over, how long till we dissolve our blades like the seax of Grendel's dam?
Yup: Rose Beast, from Jack Black.
Looks like an interesting read, Jack. Just about anyone in the tactical knife world knows the reverse Tanto. I like that in a tactical, but agreed this isn’t a Lamb Foot. Perhaps the market is to appeal to those wanting to dip their toes in the traditional world.A bit of light reading
Thank you Jack, Kermit did turn out OK. IIRC the reasons Kermit was in @meako 's give away was his anemic color and both blades were locked up pretty tight, nothing to do with the pattern AFAIK.Thank you good sir, great to see you here
