Ram in natural micarta.Ram or lamb?
Ram in natural micarta.
Was able to snag one this morning. They were out of stock less than an hour after they became available. Can’t wait!
I’ll be chancing it on one of those, too!I watched the supply dwindle down... but I held off because I’m chancing it on a black Micarta.
I imagine that will be Northfield, they are scheduled last in the run with Cocobolo and jigged bone.Anyway of knowing which runs will have the Rams foot long pull? Pictures on the production blog have been a little behind so it's tough to get a feel on what's coming up next.
Maybe I'll get lucky and get a shot at a lambsfoot, would be cool to join the guardians community!

Pàdruig , I understand your point and agree with you Dylan. However, even though these knives might have been inspired by Sheffield, to me, they represent an entirely different level of quality.
Those are the reasons I have recently ordered a buffalo lambsfoot from A Wright, while I will still try for one of Charlie's wonderful knives, I will still have my first lambsfoot to carry and experience.I understand what you are getting at, there is something to be said about GEC's interpretation (resulting from Charlie's diligent guidance) and the quality that we can be sure to expect. I will contend though, that with a couple of the last Sheffield made knives I have received, I would certainly put them right up on the pedestal alongside GEC in terms of quality.
The one thing that I find a little bothersome is that a Lambsfoot knife has always been easily attainable. First US interpretation aside, Charlie's involvement aside, why is it that folks are all of the sudden keen on scooping one up? Or does it simply come down to the qualifiers stated above? You can experience a well made Lambsfoot regardless of your luck or lack thereof in obtaining a Waynorth, if it is indeed the pattern/blade that appeals to you.
That all said, I do agree with Will. The Joseph Rodgers design that is being utilized is one that is not easily come by without strokes of good luck when hunting down vintage examples.
