The Lamb Foot Knife
Re: The Lamb Foot Knife
Nice knife Charlie - beautiful knife ... however imho the blade is a sheep foot and not a lamb foot... there is indeed a difference and well described in a diagram that Dimitri posted on the first page of this thread... it was a popular English pattern to this day but not many, if any, were made in America to my knowledge (but maybe Dimitri can correct me if I am wrong on that last point)...

Re: The Lamb Foot Knife
There are some really nice knives posted here. I guess no American maker made lamb foot knives? Just based on the examples in this thread I gather that the lamb foot was always the main or only blade in a knife. I do not recall ever seeing a lamb foot blade in person, though the worn down coping blade on some of my whittlers matches the shape.
This is an interesting thread: thanks for starting it, Dimitri. And for the information and photos, fellows!

That's one good looking knife Charlie, to me it doesn't get much better than that one!!!RobesonsRme.com wrote:Not really sure about the parameters that define a Real Lamb Foot Knife.
However, I cannot look at what's posted here and not think of this little Robeson. It's less than three inches long.
