Love the color and jigging on that one.

He’s a very talented knifemaker!

Some great pics in this thread so far! I might have a straight edge traditional knife or two. Guess I should round up a couple pics.

I’ll start with the Lambsfoot, probably my most carried straight edge blade shape.

Here are some from A. Wright, most of them Guardians SFOs courtesy of Jack Black

2019 Guardians knife

2018 Guardians knife

2017 Guardians knife

Hartshead Barlow in stag

Rosewood HHB

Damascus and desert ironwood

I believe this is Rosewood.

Standard ebony

Ashley’s Choice

Ebony big ‘un (with standard ebony and 2019 Guardians SFO)

Next are Albers Lambs.

Afzelia Burl

Curly Katalox

Ringed Gidgee

2024 Guardians of the Lambsfoot SFO

Stag-cut “Pickle” bone

Springbok horn (I’m trying to choose pics with open blades where I can, since the focus of the thread is the straight edge, but there are a couple knives I only have closed pics of for whatever reason)

(Should’ve known I’d pick too man Lambsfoot pics for one post. Standby…)

Lambs continued.

A couple of GEC-made Waynorth Lambs, 2019 and 2025.

Cosimo De Benedetto

Rhidian

Although I tend to carry a Lambsfoot more often, I love a good Sheepsfoot, too.

Some GEC examples, starting with #15s.

Great blade on these #15 Rope Knives, unfortunately I can’t find a pic with the blade open right now.

#14s

#77 Barlow

#86 Angus Jack

2019 BladeForums #86 (another one I’m certain I have an open-blade pic of, but I can’t find it at the moment)

 

[btb01]

Sheepsfoot continued…

#93 Ram Foot (which, as we all know, is actually just a Sheepsfoot)

Farm & Field #47

#13 Speaker Jack with a long Sheepsfoot main.

And a #13 Whittler with a short one.

#36 with a BIG Sheepsfoot.

So it turns out I don’t have many non-GEC Sheepsfoot knives, but I do have this excellent Mike Moran Sheepsfoot Jack.

Come on, Barrett, you're slacking!

 

[btb01]

The wharncliffe has never been my favorite blade shape, but there are a few exceptions.

#47 Vipers

I liked that they did matching #47s and #74s on this run.

#18 Coyote

#62 Pocket Carver. Three wharncliffes is definitely overkill, but I like this knife for Christmas morning package opening.

Really enjoying your collection Barrett, such variety. ( sorry I posted Kroo. All my knives are packed and forgot which flames model I have. ).

Au Sabot le tonneau. Really nice chopper, the machining on the bolsters is crude- was told it is due to old worn out dies- Despite this it is otherwise very well-assembled, no gaps, no play at all, smooth cam tang action, stamped blade, flush pins and very nice in hand feel due to rounded slabs. French carbon is pleasing, gets very keen.

Some of mine. Raining right now, so all old pictures

Threads like this make me think about knives in my collection that I may not have looked at in a while, so thanks, Hatchet_Jack

I thought I had a lot more straight edge blades, but many of them have a slight curve at the tip - a lot of French knives are like that.

Le Montpellier in two sizes



French friction folder



Spanish Jerezana



Italian Casertano



Italian Mozzetta - this is a small one (for me) at 3.5" closed.

I really like your last Italian example. Very unique blade.
