Favorite sheepsfoot blades are on my NF #53 and Case 47s; favorite wharncliffe are the two blades on my Benchmade 925 Switchback, especially the small SJ 440C....

Does anyone know of a single spring knife with a large clip blade and a wharncliffe or sheepsfoot secondary? Sort of a crossbreed between a stockman and a half whittler if you will. It seems like it would be my dream EDC but I've never been able to find it. The closest I've seen is GEC #331211, which is a conductor with a clip and a coping blade. http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/331211-buffalo-horn1.jpg So close!

This is a Northwoods 'Mini-Moose', at 3.25". Not too big, but the blade config seems to be close:

Here's an old thread on the same model:

Here are a couple of Byrd sheepfoots that I cut down to Wharncliffes.

There are a GEC Wharncliffe Jack and a Sheepsfoot Jack I think. Trying to find a version in a GEC. Love that blade style. I'll let you know what I end up with.

I think that the Sheepfoot is one of the best blades for utility. My dad gave me this a few months back and it is one of my favorite EDC's:thumbup:

Thats a Case 11031SH sometimes known as a Walnut Rope Knife, a Rope Knife, a Whaler Knife or an Electrician's Knife if I'm not mistaken.
For sure it is a useful utility knife
