110 With Spear Point Blade

[dsutton24]

Point 1: It's ugly
Point 2: This is almost certainly a brain fizz of some sort.

This was a recent acquisition, I think from a well known vendor, but hanged if I can remember who. I think it was described as a Spey blade, but obviously it isn't. In fact it looks like a reshaped Clip Point blade. It has an Anvil date code stamp, Dymondwood scales, and a serial number engraved on the back of the blade 029. The box carries the part number 0110BRSSH1-B, catalog number 11123, and a 2016 date. I don't have any idea if it's even the right box for the knife.

What is this monstrosity?

Copper & Clad sold those. They are connected with Shepherd's Hill Cutlery (the 0110BRSSH1 in the part number). C&C liked having the first 100 of each run etched with numbers. They called it a "Sheepsfoot Blade".

I thought it was ugly too. I should have bought one though.

They called it a "Sheepsfoot Blade".

I had no clue that the folks at SHC smoked crystal meth.

If this is a sheep's foot blade I guess my standard 110 must have actually been a modified reverse hawkbill this whole time, and here I thought it was a clip point.

If they did a 110 with an actual sheeps foot blade It would be great from a practical utilitarian standpoint, but I'm not sure I would care for how it looks.
The old 811 and 813 workman series electricians knives on 112 shaped frames didn't really look bad at all, but they were a little too utilitarian/ tool belt looking for their aesthetic to really be a concern.

If Buck did a 110LT with a real properly straight edged sheeps foot blade and a bail I could see that being fairly popular.

Bought one back in the day because it was a curiosity. It's ugly.

Wish I had known about them! Probably before my "knife time". The thing I don't like about it is that the blade would be more appropriately sized on a 112. I'd of probably bought one.

The "modified reverse hawkbill" got me. Thanks, needed a laugh.

The Sheepfoot is my favorite blade actually. I appreciate the precision cutting capabilities it gives me. I have a single-blade GEC 77 Barlow with Sheepfoot and it's one of my most-carried slipjoints for 10 years now. That straight edge is easy to sharpen that's for sure.
