After carrying it for a little while, I agree. Of course most of us are familiar with the utility of a Lambsfoot blade. I discovered the long Turkish Clip is "king of the lunchroom" and slices a sandwich magnificently. I have uses for both blades, but I expect the clip to be the one with more patina.I'm of a mind that anyone who receives this pattern and doesn't put it to use is doing themselves a disservice. It is a superb knife that is packed with utility.
I have to admit, the clip on this knife is a brilliant piece of work. It has been my go-to choice for food and such and the Lambsfoot, as you said, has been used for more utilitarian functions (i.e. opening packages and letters, breaking down boxes, etc.). In all frankness, the knife is everything I had hoped it would be and I haven't carried another knife since I got it.

I haven't ruled it out.So Rachel, does this mean you're not going to clip the Gator's toe nails - errrrrrrrrrr peak - errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr take the rat out of Muskrat? You're right though. The clip is a great slicer.

You betcha, ED, it's got its protective coating on now and it's time to cut stuff!
Nice one, looks like the coloration is similar to the one I received. Looks almost spring green.
Many thanks. At first glance the 88 Bayou comes across as whimsical, but the NF TX elevates it’s whimsy to elegant.Nice one, looks like the coloration is similar to the one I received. Looks almost spring green.
what is a NF TX?Many thanks. At first glance the 88 Bayou comes across as whimsical, but the NF TX elevates it’s whimsy to elegant.
I'm guessing it's a typo for NF TM (Northfield trademark). "TX" only means "Texas" to me!what is a NF TX?
