I recently had a BM 550-1 with the sheepsfoot blade and round thumb hole for opening. Love the blade shape, not so much the knife....

What does Spyderco have with the sheepsfoot style blade? I can't think of a better knife than my beloved PM2 with a sheepsfoot. What's close?

Thanks,

The only Spyderco I can think of with a sheepsfoot other than the Enuff but think it was serrated ... or a Salt which are sort of sheepsfoot shape are the new Caribbean series Spyderco knives ...

Probably more knowledgabke folks will have better ideas ... but I noticed these recently.
 
Also the Autonomy for something different. I’m not an auto guy, but you have to THUMP one of those open sometime. It’s impressive feeling to say the least.
 
The Grip with a sheepsfoot is actually a modified sheepsfoot unlike the Enuff which is more of a true sheepsfoot. Actually if you look at the shape of the actual edge alot of the Spyderco leaf shaped blades have the same edge shape as the Grip’s modified sheepsfoot, just a pointier tip. The Spyderco Stretch has a sort of similar blade shape. The very point is less dropped.

If you consider that the Spyderco leaf blade has the same edge shape with a pointier tip it will open alot more options.

The Swayback is most def how I would define a classical sheepfoot shaped blade, but otherwise in addition to your Techno 2 which also has a bit of a curvature, I would also add the Rassenti Paysan collaboration to this mix.
 
The Rescue knives have a sheepsfoot, it's just serrated. You could argue the Salt has one, same with the Roadie.

Come to think of it Spyderco doesn't do a lot of sheepsfoot blades. I think the ones that have them have all been mentioned.
 
I'd consider the Spydiechef and PPT as modified sheepsfeet like the BM above.

The Sliverax is another leaf shaped blade with a shallow, continuous belly that some may consider a little modified-sheepish.

Eta, also the Pingo.
 
They need to stretch that techno 2 out about 1/2", a little more blade, a little more handle... and oh, man, would I be all over it. I had an original techno and found it was just a tad short on both ends (happens to a lot of us, right?). This one looks like it may feel the same.
