Traditional with a Sheepsfoot main blade?

[ptradeco]

Here is my XX era #17. Could not find it earlier.

That's a beauty.

Andi, that Otter is sweet. Are they generally put together well?

Yeah... for the little money they cost, they are great working knives. Nothing fancy or high-end but at a great F&F compared to many other german/american makers.

I gonna send you a VM...

I also have an old Ulster in ebony that sees some pocket carry.

 

[Woodrow F Call]

That's a sweet Ulster.

Here's a few I've got... An old G & G Cut Co. Coke Bottle Jack w/ Sheepsfoot main. This one has a Saber grind on the back of the main blade and the pen blade. Old Remington Jack with
Sheepsfoot main. And a Case Loom Fixer from 1974...

Those are great, Jason. I like the Remington especially. I'm guessing the Case has walnut handles?

The S&M series XVIII had a beautiful English Jack with a sheepfoot master and pen secondary in brown wormgroove bone.

I very recently traded mine away. 4.5" closed is just too big for me!

Does the main on the Northfield Weaver Jack count as a sheepsfoot? I think they call it a modified sheepsfoot. Or a modified hawkbill. I can't remember.

No, I cannot take good photos.

Here is an A. Wright Lambfoot - thank you Jack

Hope this helps a little

The Otter is one I have wanted for quite some time, how do you like it overall?

I was thinking about the 2013 Blade Forums knife and got to wondering: You don't see many knives with a sheepsfoot main blade. I guess the congress is one. I think Sheffield makes one. What other knives do you see with the Sheepsfoot?

Here is a Case whittler on a congress frame with a sheepsfoot main:

The congress frame does work well for a sheepsfoot with more than one blade, as the curve of the frame helps cover the main blade's spine when using secondary blades, leaving it more comfortable in-hand.

This one widens out quite a bit at the secondary end, which also contributes to in-hand comfort:

That's a Stonka of a blade on that Case Lambertiana - whew...what a beaut, the blade has hardly been used by the looks?

The Otter Ankermesser (anchor knife) has a sheepfoot mainblade

That's a nice looking one Andi !!! Here's the one you gifted me and the brief write-up I did when I got it.

The knife is an OTTER-Messer knife with a sheepsfoot blade with wood covers. The knife's shield is a brass anchor - just the ticket for me as I was in the U.S. Navy for 24-years. The blade is carbon steel yet the bolsters and liners are stainless steel as is the spring. This knife is brand new - never carried. Andi mentioned in his enclosed note that he had sharpened the blade and he did a good job as the blade is sharp.

Nice Whittler Pertinux.

Some interesting examples in Levine's 4th. It looks like the Ulster Carpenters jack knife has two sheepsfoot blades.

Here's a NYKCO curved jack with a sheep foot main from a 1908 catalog much like Mike's above:
