Quality sheepsfoot folder?

[seadog1408]

I am looking for a quality EDC sheepsfoot folding knife, ARthur wrights was mentioned to me but reading the reviews on them seems that quality is hit and miss these days, can any of our resident knife people recommend another maker?
i would like a wooden handle on it by the way.

Russell White? I have one of his folders, very nice, very good value for money (or was when I bought it a few years ago).

There's a site for Sheffield made stuff where one could buy Trevor ablett pieces amongst others....sorry I can't remember the exact name
try googling Trevor ablett ?
failing that have a look on eBay.de for friedrich hartkopf -they make some superb kit

I got an excellent knife from Canada. Not a folder though - watch included (seeing as this is Watch Talk :-)

I have a green linen sodbuster its one of my favourites, the reviews are very good for this range.

I thought I wouldn't get on with carbon, but its been no problems on my travels.

being a 2 handed open its legal in more country's than a oho, I like everything about it, not wood though.

these tend to be bought by people who want a traditional hardworking traditional design

this is the exact one I have.

Looks like the Otter for you, so just FYI, I have a Boker Congress pocket knife that has a sheepsfoot blade
