Thank you Jeff! It's certainly a Big' Un and hefty, the minor Pen blade is no shrinking violet either :D Formidable snap (watch out) :eek: interesting bolster, kind of threaded semi Rat-Tail? Bone is quite unusual too, but due to its imposing size it doesn't get out that much.

Regards, Will
 
Here are a couple of my 3" gents knives made by Jim Dunlap.

A good, stout fixed blade sheepsfoot is a blade to be reckoned with. :thumbup:

The Bolster on that EJ has been called a "Washington Bolster", Will.
I am not sure how it gathered the moniker, but I have seen it in catalogs from way back!

Here's a cut from a 1928 Schrade Cut. Co. catalog.

The Lambfoot is a definite relative of the two subject blades, I'd say!

Lovely to see the Lambsfoot appear Charlie, and those are two superb examples my friend :thumbup:

Just got my IPad today, but...

My Arthur Wright Lambsfoot in oxhorn.



A much older Alfred Blackwell Lambsfoot.



Saynor Budding/Grafting knife.



A big old Joseph Rodgers Sheepsfoot.



A Sheepsfoot by Trevor Ablett.



A British Army clasp knife in stainless.



An older example by George Wostenholm.



Older still (Harrison Brothers & Howson)



Herbert Robinson.



Taylor's Eye Witness



Otter Webermesser.



And a Charlow (of course) ;)

I'm afraid that's the only pic I have with me today Ken, and my old Imageshack account is now kaput, but I'll try and post more pics soon. It's a nice old knife, but unfortunately some swine made a mess of the edge on a grinder they didn't know how to use.
 
Just a delightful bunch of knives posted down this page. Will - the red and white threesome is beautiful. Thanks for the looks guys! :thumbup:;)
 
Lots of beautiful knives here. I just love Sheepfoots (sheepsfeet?) and Wharncliffes. Made me go back right to the start of this thread just to see the pics!!
 
I've recently become a big fan of the Sheepsfoot blade on my new stockman. I like the look of the army clasp knives I think I'll start a wanted thread.
