Joseph Rodgers Lambsfoot Folding Knife 18

I have a couple of other Sheffield knives and this is far superior to them, the handle is beautifully polished making it smooth and comfortable to use, the blade is a decent quality carbon steel, ok it is not a supersteel but that is no bad thing as it means it is easier to keep sharp. I have had William Rofers and Joseph Rogers knives before and know how well they last, even when abused as I have done in the past. I look forwards to many years of service from this knife

I have a few traditional slipjoint knives as they are leagal to carry, I have carried a knife for over 50 years and this is one of the best I have in recent years, the blade was a little rough but 5 minutes saw a screaming egde you can shave with, the opening is moderate but managable and the blade itself is very good, I think what impressed me most was the rosewood handle is properly finished to a high shine without being slippery, This knife and a SAK will be * for pocket time,

Overall I’m pleased with the quality of this knife. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the blade was not centered. It does not rub but I specifically asked for one that was centered. The customer service from Heinnie Haynes was excellent and shipping was prompt.

Best Sheffield knife I've bought. By far.

Always a good knife always the same standard

I bought this as a gift for an American collector friend, but regretted parting with it. I will be ordering another for my collection very soon - already in my basket!

Extremely fast delivery form HH ordered late on Friday afternoon arrived first thing on Saturday on a next day service. Fantastic! This knife was let down by two issues: 1. Poor grinding of the blade, the definition between kick, tang and blade is very indistinct. 2. The spring sits above the handle when the blade is closed, happily it sits perfectly when the blade is open. Otherwise the fit and finish is OK. Otherwise: Rogers should increase the size of the nail-nick , I don't imagine small girls are their target market and lose the naff printed shield.

Compared with a particularly good A. Wright example, and a basic Taylors Eye Witness version, both bought earlier this week, this is not that well finished considering it is double the price of the other two. Blade is much, much thinner too. Bought for collection so is acceptable.

Had this knife for well over a year now. I use it as a work knife, I work in the horticulture industry. So it does not get an easy life. I have used it to open bags of various materials, pruned with it and use it as a food knife whilst at work. It has been a fantastic tool. I have only had to sharpen it 3 times since ownership. The metal keeps a fantastic edge and stays sharp for a long time. I find it very easy to sharpen, using only hand tools, no power tools. With in no time I will have the knife cutting through paper without tearing the paper!
