Pro Tip:
A sheepsfoot blade is similar to a wharncliffe blade, with a straight edge and straight back that curves towards the edge. This style offers great control, as the user can easily hold on to the dull back edge. Originally used to trim sheep's hooves, the blade shape bears no actual resemblance to a sheep's foot.
