    While I'm not typically a fan of larger slipjoints, I'm looking forward to these.

    At the risk of sounding uninformed, anyone know how a "ram foot" differs from the "lambfoot" we're all familiar with? My guess is that it is an elongated sheepsfoot, but any additional information would be appreciated. My intent was to snag a Waynorth knife, and I still intend to, but "royal blue camel bone" is calling to me as well.

    The difference is only in the name and it has everything to do with licensing and trademarks I'm pretty sure
    Charlie's SFO 93 will be stamped with his Waynorth Cutlery, Buffalo, NY stamp and will have different etching too.
    I would assume both of the 93 Tidioutes will have the PPP etch.

    Edit - the lambsfoot and ramsfoot blades will be different in shape as Charlie describes later in this thread.

    Looking forward to this run! Hope I can land one of Charlie's and maybe one of the Tidoutes or Northfields!

    Seems to be another decent run.i think if you can't land a Waynorth, your most likely gonna be able to land at least something that tickles your fancy. (Hopefully...)

    All my knowledge of Lambsfoot VS Sheepsfoot comes from @Jack Black and the Guardians. The spine of a Lambsfoot is not parallel with the edge like it is with a Sheepsfoot. Also on the Lambsfoot, there is a distal tapering on the spine, from the scale to to the tip. As expected, Charlie has the Lambsfoot pattern down pat.

    I really like the fluted bolsters and kick. Very traditional. What’s it called? Stovepipe kick?

    This should be a great run, lots to choose from. Hope to pickup one of Charlies either would be great. The royal blue camel bone with boot shield from Olde Towne Cutlery should also be a beauty.

    A great looking pattern... IMO

    Reminds me on the SBJ - SBG of CASE several years ago, but on steroids. Much larger in size :)

    Looking forward on these ones.

    Well done, Charlie!

    This one is calling to me. I like a lot of GEC patterns, but usually not enough to fight for one. This one is worth the fight.
