I have a 4" Kutright Stockman, with what I believe to be a lambsfoot blade. How can I tell a lambsfoot from a sheepsfoot blade. I do wish I could figure out how to post pictures here.
 
It would be very rare if your stockman had a lambsfoot blade - the traditional combo on stockmen is a full size clip with small sheepsfoot and spey blades.

In the picture below:
The top knife is a Wharncliffe (straight edge, spine slopes to an acute point).
The middle knife is a lambsfoot (straight edge, spine angles down towards point, with an elbow near the end down to the point).
The bottom knife is a sheepsfoot (straight edge, spine parallel to the edge, with an elbow near the end down to the point).
Note that there are other types of straight edge blade not pictured here, as well (rope knives, short beak, coping, etc.).

This attempt to upload a photo worked at first, and then it stopped working. I don't know what else to do.
The knife on the left is the Kutright with the blade I think might be a lambsfoot opened. On the right is a 1976 Boker Congress with the sheepsfoot blade opened.

That's just a Sheepsfoot with a worn blade :thumbsup:

In terms of photographs, you might want to ask in the Technical subforum :thumbsup:

Killdeer, welcome to the Forum! I know exactly what you can do to post pics. Purchase a membership especially if you’re going to be spending more time here. It’s well worth the investment and keeps the lights on 😀.

Thread 'How do I post pictures from a.....'

Whatever kind of device you have? There may be an app for that. Look for a picture/file sharing host. Prefreably one that is NOT porn related. You can use imgur.com, flickr, or any others. There are tutorials online on the "How To" part, search for it. In the mean time, searching here for threads on the subject is also a good idea. It's not a new question by any means.
