Thank you for the picture, it really helps me in learning the distinguishing lines of this excellent blade. I will go a step further than @Onebigbill and say that I would be honored to join the list on any knife of your design, if I may. Although my knife knowledge is very limited, I do know that some German made knives, Solingen steel blades are of a good quality.
Sheepsfoot blades also vary in form, far more so than a Lambsfoot, but they never have a tip like the Lambsfoot. Solingen has a great history of cutlery production. You'll even find the odd German-made Lambsfoot, though mainly manufactured for the British market I think. Beware though, that some German knives, which claim to be Lambsfoot knives, are nothing remotely like a Lambsfoot. Some examples in the thread index
Here's a couple by Carl Kammerling, but while the first knife will pass for a Lambsfoot, the unusual second knife has a parallel edge and spine. More recent examples by this firm are certainly not Lambsfoot knives.
