I suppose Jack can give you the best answer, though he's probably sleeping right now. There is also a lot of information and discussion in this thread, but there are a lot of pages. This thread moves briskly!

The lambsfoot is new to me--less than a year. I generally prefer clips and spears, which are the most common blade shapes in American traditional knives. But when I first saw it, I was immediately intrigued. It's sort of a compromise between a sheepsfoot and a wharncliffe, both of which I also like. It's a little sturdier, I think, than a wharncliffe, which tapers to a small point. And you can pierce with a lambsfoot much better than with a sheepsfoot.

I can't say that it's necessarily more useful than a clip or spear, but it handles my cutting needs just fine. I only have one at the moment: a small (approx. 3 1/2 in. closed) one with stag covers. Thick slabs which fill the hand very well, swayback pattern. Jack has said that to use a lambsfoot is to love it, and I agree. Why not try one?

Vince, you summed it up pretty well. Just like you said...
It's all about having the straight edge blade that's more pointy than a Sheepsfoot and more robust than a Wharncliffe.

Good Morning Guardians

Wow, has it been that long? Not to worry, I'm doing well, but have been quite busy lately and haven't been finding much time for following, much less contributing to, the activity here. I'm woefully behind.

Thank you so much for your concern, my friend. I hope to be back to being a regular again soon, but, realistically, it'll probably be a few more weeks.

In the mean time, rest assured that there's almost always a lambsfoot with me. :)

Thanks a lot Vince, I think I picked this one up when I was visiting the factory with @herder, I saw it on the bench and had to have it :) :thumbsup:
 
I've been carrying this C. Johnson for about a week now! I love the pocket-polish it has picked up over the years, and I marvel at the perfectly flush joint!! The steel is holding a nice edge also!! I imagine I am back 100 years* in time!! I think I'll go out and hail a Hansom cab and head for the market!!:D
