Joseph Rodgers Lambsfoot in rosewood

Joseph Rodgers’ trademark of a star and a Maltese cross was first granted in 1682, but now belongs, along with Wostenholm’s IXL brand, to Ibbesrson. Still made in Sheffield, they turn out a competent knife, but overpriced to my mind.

Eric I finally did it I purchased my first English Knife a J Rodgers Stag SS Bunny Knife
Everything about it was perfect except the blade tip stood just a bit proud
I got up the courage to file the kick down a little yesterday morning and stone it back smooth and now it sits down perfectly
I carried it all day in on my belt in my Case Soft Pouch
I’m so happy I finally bought it
Thanks for sharing your fine knives and leading me farther astray lol
God bless be well

The beauty is in the simplicity of these knives! Any more I think companies call a blade style whatever they want...lol! This one looks to fall into the coping blade category to me! Thanks for sharing Eric!

I can vouch for this one folks!
If you're looking for a nice little user - this fits the bill.
stylish shape to the lambfoot blade, that you can sharpen to a wicked edge - one of my favorite users!
Thank You again for gifting me a version (not sure if it's the same wood handle?) of this Slick!
You can now call your home "The Sheffield Cutlery museum"!!! 😂🤣😂
Well done!🙏✌️

Another great video with another Sheffield maker with a nice looking knife which is always good to see, keep up the great work :)

I have one of these - quite nice actually, but cursed with a flappy blade. As I picked it up for a tenner, I keep meaning to use it as a peening project, but I haven't got a Round Tuit unfortunately.

I think that one looks like a great working knife! I like the blade shape too, it's something you don't see every day. Cheers.

Another fantastic Yorkshire made knife. I would describe the blade as more of a reverse tanto than a sheepsfoot, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for sharing these beautiful traditional knives from my neck of the woods 👍🏻

Helpful information about the Joseph Rodgers history and interesting comparisons, thanks. Personally am not loving the blade shape, but perhaps I'm not aware of the advantges of its angular profile over a curved lambsfoot.

I think you have to read up a bit on the Lambsfoot before criticising it -The Joseph Rodgers is a legend .. That blade is perfectly a Lambsfoot.These blades are superior. I have a few from the 1800 s . It was used in the bush in Africa and still working nicely.

Hmm, I found mine for a decent price, plus it had the mirror polish. Odd.

Thank you for great review! I am looking into getting my first lambfoot knife and (also thanks to your video) I decided to go for ebony A. Wright. Can you recommend some online retailers?

If memory serves me correctly, Roger's knives were a level down in price from Eye Witness and IXL back in the day.
Rogers were the run of the mill work knife and the others were a bit smarter and better made, so a little more expensive, the quality of your Rogers looks more or less to be how I remember them, £36.00 is a bit steep. I think I prefer the looks of the Wrights to the Rogers and the slight difference in size is against it too. Nice to see the Name is still out there though.

Hi it's the retailer that has charged so much, I know for a fact that Rodgers (egginton group) make very little on these knives.

I’d consider that blade a coping blade. Probably really good for scribing lines. But I’d have to agree with you. The traditional lambs foot is also good for scribing. Seems like you’re paying for the tang stamp. Sort of like paying for the tang on a Case knife.
