2019 GEC 93 Ram's Foot and Waynorth Cutlery Real Lambfoot Thread

[tmd_87]

I wonder if the texture of the jigged bone will be close to the Charlie CAMPAGNA Tidioute #15 Boys Knife (bail & chain), Dark Chestnut Peach Seed Jigged Bone

Or rather close to that of the Charlie Campagna Northfield UN-X-LD #48 Diamond Jack Chestnut Rogers Jigged Bone

Hoping for that Rodgers jigging!

 

[Fodderwing]

Something along these lines perhaps?

Lovely lovely lovely! What a drop dead beauty Will! Thanks

Charlie's Lambsfoot looks positively mouth watering!!!

But the Ramsfoot? I need another medium sized sheepsfoot GEC like I need a hole in the head. I've got a billion of them.

If it's this Rodgers jigging, I might have a lot of hesitation when choosing between #93 Gabon Ebony or #93 Jigged Bone... I love the texture of the handle of my #48.

Rodgers jigging would make sense since Charlie Campagna drew inspiration from Joseph Rodgers' work for this #93 Lambfoot...

Rogers bone was made by the Rogers Manufacturing Company of Rockfall, Connecticut.

Little bit of the history at the link.

Thank you very much for correcting my confusion. I'll read the article right away.

So I know I'm going to see this question come up time after time...and I know the comparison to the lambsfoot has been well discussed...but what is the difference between the ramsfoot and a sheepsfoot? It looks like a sheepsfoot to me

 

[Will Power]

Not keen I'm afraid, more Sheepfoots (bigger) with shields..enough.

 

[waverave]

FYI they are making ~600 each of the 93 ramsfoot.
I believe Charlie mentioned somewhere in this thread, or elsewhere, that there would be ~300-350 of the jigged bone 93 SFO lambsfoot and ~200-250 of the ebony. I'll come back and edit this if I'm incorrect.

I like it. It won’t cleave oak stumps and Spam logs like its saber-ground BF brethren but I’m definitely picking one up.

Seems like we might be due a GEC version of this.

Sheepfoot blade = Spline of blade and cutting edge of blade are PARALLEL
Ramfoot blade per the picture shown = Spline of blade and cutting edge of blade Are Not Parallel with the point end of the blade being the widest part .

From the Steamboat Arabia c.1856

I never tire of looking at that picture^^^

Does anybody know if a traditional lambsfoot pattern has been produced by a US manufacturer before or will this be the first time?

Thank you Harry! ...that is exactly what I was looking for. I see now the spine of the blade actually rises a little towards the tip and it is fatter there then the base of the blade

I don't know of an American made Lambsfoot. I did see a Winchester branded Lambsfoot but there was some speculation that it might have been fake.

I believe those were made in Japan, if memory serves.
