RV-8 pilot reported a propeller strike during end of landing phase. Aircraft was shut down and secured.

Narrative

I was operating a Van's RV-8 during landing. During the landing rollout; while decelerating on the runway at low speed near the end of the landing sequence; directional control was lost and a propeller strike occurred. The aircraft came to rest on the runway and was immediately shut down and secured. There were no injuries and no damage to persons or property other than the aircraft. The runway was temporarily closed as a precaution.The RV-8 is a lightweight; tailwheel-configured aircraft with sensitive braking characteristics and no anti-skid system. During the landing rollout; a combination of braking input; pitch attitude; and residual aerodynamic lift contributed to unloading of the tailwheel and a nose-over tendency.I have extensive experience in transport-category and military aircraft equipped with anti-skid braking systems and significantly different ground handling characteristics. Transitioning between aircraft types with markedly different braking response; pitch sensitivity; and tailwheel dynamics was a contributing factor. Contributing Factors: Lightweight tailwheel aircraft with sensitive brakingAbsence of anti-skid brakingPitch attitude and tailwheel loading during landing rolloutResidual lift during decelerationAircraft-type transition from heavier aircraft with different ground handling characteristics.Lessons Learned: Following the event; I reviewed tailwheel-specific landing and rollout techniques with emphasis on maintaining appropriate pitch attitude; deliberate tailwheel loading; and conservative braking during deceleration. Future operations will incorporate reduced rollout braking; heightened awareness of residual lift; and increased attention to ground energy management in lightweight tailwheel aircraft.This report is submitted to share lessons learned related to aircraft-type transition and tailwheel landing rollout dynamics. I have a tremendous respect for tailwheel airplanes and take my training very serous and will continue to do so.The aircraft was secured. Maintenance inspection and documentation are ongoing.
