In this video I’m flying the flag for one of Britain’s most underrated traditional blade shapes: the lambsfoot. It’s been forged in Sheffield for well over 200 years, it’s got proper working-class heritage, and yet it’s somehow slipped under the radar for a lot of modern collectors. I break down what actually makes a lambsfoot a lambsfoot (that unmistakable straight edge and the rounded, “clipped-off” tip), and why that shape still makes so much sense if you actually use your knife rather than just pose it on Instagram. I then walk you through my lambsfoot collection—different makers, different eras, and the little tells I look for when I’m judging quality and value. The big takeaway is simple: as a practical, sensible, UK-friendly pocket knife pattern, the lambsfoot is hard to beat. It’s controllable in use, it’s not aggressive-looking, and it does the day-to-day jobs a slipjoint should do. If you’re in the UK and you want a traditional knife you can carry with confidence (within the law), this is the pattern I keep coming back to—so I’ll also give you the buying pointers to avoid the rubbish and focus on the good ones.
