Here's a special sheepsfoot done for a retired US Navy Senior Chief, he wanted something for cutting limes (and other everyday tasks) for rum and cokes. I'd say it works well. The edge is ridiculously thin, hollow ground S90V. Handle is vintage black rag micarta from the US Navy in WWII (verified through a reputable source). Nickel Silver corby bolts and a brass CPO decorative pin. red liners to set it off. This is an old pattern that served as the basis for my Pronghorn handle pattern, he admired one I had on the ship years ago, so...decided to resurrect it.

Super Nice looking.....bet that's the same handle material I used for my Navy Fil.....I made it for his birthday a couple years ago.... Stinkiest stuff ever!
I think that stink, burned into my Soul....

Smells like an old electronics cabinet when grinding.

You are making it sound too pleasant....haha
I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use it again. Awful.....but really neat looking when done.

Looks like it would make a great paring knife.

I love the sheepsfoot shape because it is close to perfect for 90% of daily tasks.
