I wasn't happy with the blade shape on my Bund knife so with hiraethus' help I put a Sheepsfoot on it. Much more pleasing to the eye!

Crap.  :D

Not quite a spearpoint, not quite a sheepsfoot - a horrible mishmash that I couldn't even bear to look at.  :D drama much?

I quite like it, but I sort of hate it too... I see now why you reprofiled it.

Looks great now - just need to find something suitable for a lanyard now.

Here's a couple more pics showing just how thick the spine of the blade is - hefty!

Your knife got me thinking about one Noah left behind.  He has a Bund, but he took it with him.  This belonged to my father in law, who was also a sailor, and is a German Alpha.  I believe it is probably 1960's vintage at the latest.

That's lovely Barry - I like the sheepsfoot blade. Thanks for showing it  :salute:

If you want to practise being a U Boater Barry, get a heavy blanket, soak it in old stagnant water and then crawl underneath it and stay there for a month  :tu:

Thanks guys!

One of the great things about using Rough Riders for scrimshaw is that the knives are so inexpensive (about $10 - $12 each) that the artist can buy them, do the scrimshaw, sell them for a reasonable price, and still make some money on the deal.
