I have a mini Case Trapper with a wharncliffe and clip blade. I just don't understand why more patterns don't have sheepsfoot blades on them. They always seem to put two clip points or two sheepsfoot. They never mix them up except for the Stockman. The sheepsfoot are so useful.
This is a smooth orange bone, although it looks pretty dull in the photo. It's much more orange in reality.

Here's a few.
Top one a friend made, I use it for cutting heavy leather, 01 and Canadian ironwood burl.
2. Is a friction folder I made a while ago, old crazed Moose antler handle.
3. Is a tiny 1/2 congress wreck by Rodgers.
4. GEC executive whittler.
5. A nail breaker from Swan works Germany.
Best regards

When you find a Case Slimline Trapper with a broken tip, you fix it and get this.

Just a simple belt grinder. Slowly worked and cooled after each pass to keep the temper.
That's a really fine selection of sheepsfoots and wharnclliffes which has been posted so far. Fantastic! As I definetely like straight edge designs, here's my selection.

jwh, how do you like the new Case green bone Sowbelley? I forgot that is one of my favorite SF blades too!
It just came in late last week. I haven't had much time with it yet. The f&f is good and I like the PW Bermuda Green Scales. It seems to be a comfortable handle. I really like the design but the proof will be in the pudding.
