said, During my raving searches, I stumbled upon a sales thread and maybe a show off thread in the regular forum where someone chopped off the belly of the TK pen blade, making it a sheepsfoot. I've been considering doing the same, and to the white owl, too.
I actually had a cocobolo that a previous owner had made the pen into a cope. Never warmed to it. Look at your comparison pics of the three size Cuban pens above, look at the shallow height of the TK pen vs. Proper proportion of the Churchill sheep. You will end up with a cut off pen that turns down at the edge of the nail nick, and it never will feel correct.
You'll find the wood handled TK to be the widest handle material on the Tks. Unless someone has a fat stag version, but most of the TK stags were thin hourglass or even. If you end up not liking what you cone up with in the TK dept, please let me know.

Why I prefer the Churchill over the drover-i don't like spear main blades near as much as a clip. For me, the Drover punch was used as a makeshift straight blade for tasks that require such, so the Churchill's clip and secondary sheep superseded the blade selection found on the Drover, for how I use a knife.
Notice I rave about the TK and suggest that a sheepsfoot secondary would have been my preference, but I rarely mention the Northwoods Presidential that has the modified sheep secondary? Because I could not warm up to the spear main. That's just my preference. I like clip main. I also am not too fond of the chamfered bolsters on that model. I guess a person that prefers a spear main, super thin, diversified two blade, long pen knife configuration, probably found a grail in the Northwoods Presidential.
