This is so timely steeley, I just had a really old Goodell's small butcher knife in my hand studying it. I always liked their designs.
 
Don't see a lot of them around.

Their patterns were neat but what I find interesting about them is the grind they did. I've seen more than a few with flat right sides and convex left sides.
