Sheepsfoot jacks are my favorite pattern to collect, a few I've found over the years with help from friends. Not an easy pattern to find.

Thanks for showing those fine knives, John. Hard to pick a favorite but I might narrow it down to the Challenge and the Schrade two spots up. All great looking! ::tu:: ::tu::

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Ike,I think the Challenge is my favorite, it is also the first one I found several years ago, been searching for them ever since.

Here's a few more, I think that's most of them.
