Anyone but me think it would make a good version of the Case Sodbuster?

Finally found a Lambsfoot bladed knife. Wade, Wingfield, and Rowbothan. Hopefully it has the original stag,it doesn't look the same as some other narly handles I have. Lots of scratches on the blade, thought about trying to remove them??? Thanks for looking and any comments.

Nice knife Bill and score 
... I believe that knife has jigged bone handles and I assume original - not all were stag - see my E Watts knife on the previous page that also has jigged bone... Just my opinion Bill but I wouldn't remove the scratches which are not that apparent in the photos anyway... but I am not one to do much to any old knife

Thanks Lee for the help, I will leave the blade alone. I put another one on the old and rare thread maybe you can take a look at those handles, thanks again. That is whats great about AAPK, you can always get help and feedback for the rookies.

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.

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)...

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!
