Can't wait to see these come together.

Starting to look like a Sheep Dip Shaver! Reminds me of a straight razor and looks like there's going to be 3 very lucky people pretty soon!

 

[Sacto]

I’m not sure why, but it reminds me of a spoonbill. “Real Spoonbill”

MERINO'S DIP

Yup, I said that early on... definitely has a razor vibe to it.

Loving to watch this develop Charlie. Rhidian's skills always delight.

It is uniquely thrilling to follow WIP pics!! They are looking great, Rhidian!!
Nice to see Three (3) of these knives in progress!!
One of these is destined to leave Canada for New Zealand, where the old
"Sheepherder" (for want of a permanent name) was found by Campbellclanman !!
It looks like it's time to make an "etch" decision!! I better get a move on it!!

Thanks Charlie! Yes I guess it's getting close to decision time but no rush. I still need to figure out if the photo stencil developing stuff I have actually works. I'll do a test.

Fascinating stuff, a really unusual blade shape

 

[Jack Black]

How about "Baaaaaaa" ?

 

[Sacto]

Looks to me like the blade shape would make a good castrating knife. The “Sterilizer”?

Bent Beak
Out of Joint
Fare Ewe Well

Real Goatfoot
Real Buffalo Knife

Dippety Doo Dah
Kiwi Kutter
Antipodean Axe

I have found many of the old time etches to be kinda odd phrases that don't always make alot of sense

I'm trying, Glenn!!
I've also collected some interesting suggestions from everyone's posts!!

 

[Markesharp]

Looking good!
With the stove pipe kick originating in England it brings to mind Marmalade.

Marmalade Blade.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Wow! Rhidian that's amazing!!!

Amazing Reading- great looking at the Thoughts of the etches, those etches GOTTA have a wee bit of Charlie in there!!!

How about "Baaaaaaa" ?

When my grandparents were young, folks had 'party pieces' (still a little like that in France). Singing a song, for example, reciting some poetry, or telling a joke. My grandfather's was "Sheep on Burbage Moor (moorland on the edge of Sheffield)." You can guess the rest of it! Well, they didn't have TV in those days

No TV but plenty of liquor

 

[JohnDF]

Real Goatfoot

That's my favorite.

Yeah, you need a few to be entertained by stuff like that!

 

[waynorth]

That's my favorite.

Should it be Real Goatsfoot??
If you look after Goats, are you still a Shepherd??
