Thank you, Short Beak is the name I couldn't think of. It looks like a long coping blade to me.
I wonder if the curve in the blade is original , or the result of use and sharpening?



"Coping with Age"
"Ancient Bend"
"Real Something Knife"

It's actually a curved Blade; it follows the handle nicely It lost a couple thousandths of an inch where it's dark/corroded - that's all!

Yes, exactly I wondered the same, and suspect the latter

All three of those are winners Rachel!

I forget how long I spent trying to find a name for the Short Beak blade on Charlie's Ancient Barlows. Why does he post this interesting stuff when I'm just about to go to bed?!

I'm ever grateful!! Have a good sleep, Jack!!

I'm thinking "Waynorth's Original" would look good.

I'm ever grateful!! Have a good sleep, Jack!!

LOL! Thanks Charlie

Well, my guess is it is more sheepfoot than lambfoot.......... Since mutton and wool come from lambs and sheep, here are some etch ideas......
"Waynorth Wooly Whizzer"
"Charlie's Mutton Slicer"
"Waynorth Wool Whip"
"Charlie's Mutton Chop"

You folks are coming up with some great lines!!
Great Brainstorm session!!

Interesting knife, Charlie! The blade shape, with its very slight upward curve, is certainly interesting.

I read somewhere a while back that “buttons” was an old term for sheep droppings (particularly in the south-west of England, according to the OED). How about:

“CHARLIE’S SHEEP BUTTONS”

…or, to contrast Young's Sheep Dips:

“OLD CC’s SHEEP BUTTONS”

The shape of the handle almost screams Ettrick and while the Ettrick is said to have been designed by the Earl of Wharncliffe ... that is definitely not the blade often seen associated with the Earl or found on most Ettrick knives I've seen.

Here are some Ettricks by the same company!! Different pattern!!

Something to replace "Young's Sheep Dip", eh?
How about the way I often feel by the time Friday night rolls around?
I feel like an OLD DIP SHEEP. (Maybe I mis-spelled that. )

Kind of a bullnose sheepfoot.blade.

"Charlie's Improved Bull-Sheep"

Srsly Charlie… those Ettricks are real Kool

 

[r8shell]

Y'all are mentioning Ettricks, but isn't the curve on yours the opposite of a swayback frame?


"Waynorth's Humpback"

Another Lockwood Ettrick:

Yeah, or OLD DIP SHEET. You got me, Charlie!

To me, the blade of your "Young's Sheep Dip" looks like maybe some kind of skinning blade, what with the curved cutting edge and severely blunted tip so as not to get into muscle tissue maybe.
Just trying to wrap my head around what it might be. Although I can't imagine serious skinning with a pocket knife LOL. So that doesn't make sense either.
Yours is the only blade like that I've ever seen and/or can't find another picture of.
