A Hartshead Barlow for May Day!

I'm in. I would really like to try a lambsfoot and that Hartshead barlow is a beauty. Great giveaway, thanks for the chance. Took a stroll down to the riverIMG_0697.jpg to take a pic. Didn't realize what a lousy photo it was until I got home and looked at it on the computer screen. Added a second picture of the view from the roof of my cabin, nicer water, no knife content.

I'm in! There's no way I am passing up a chance to land a Hartshead Barlow! This picture here is a placeholder. It is of my Guardians Lambsfoot in front of the Pacific Ocean during a storm. But I have my Lambie in my pocket right now, and I am about to take a little bike ride, so I'll get a fresh photo this afternoon. :) Thanks for the chance Jack!

Wow- another Hartshead up for grabs!!!
That's unreal!!! I can vouch that these are quite the spectacular Knife, all who have them love them that's for sure, so that kind of says something and I feel its a testament to Jack and his massive amount of hard work.

Jack my friend, I wish I was standing in front of you again- I would buy you a Beer and shake your Hand to congratulate you, Like the very few others who haven woken up old Patterns and bought them back out into existence once again, I feel you are personally responsible for the reawakening of The Lambsfoot pattern, and my friend THANK YOU for this. Its been amazing watching this Journey, and its been great to be a wee spec of that, others have a much greater part in the Guardians thread and I admire them for the support they have offered out.

Most certainly not an entry as I have one of these Beautiful beasts, and I love it- No...no one can have this one sorry ;)

LLTL ( Can anyone guess what that means?)

Very generous. Good luck to all that enter. Not an entry.
Best I can/could do for a picture with water in the background is a mud puddle after it rains. 😳 No rain (or cloud dander) expected for at least a week, according to the TV weather guesser. 😁

Great pic :) THat looks like a fantastic place to grow up :) :thumbsup:

Thanks for your entry, I'm glad you're enjoying the Lambsfoot pattern :) Great pic too :cool: Good question! Here's a little history, from one of my previous posts :

In the year 1654, a young lad, no more than a child, came to Sheffield from nearby Rotherham, to commence an apprenticeship with cutler John Courtnall. After thirteen years learning the trade, the young man registered his ‘freedom’, and mark, with the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. His name was Obadiah Barlow, and he and his descendants would give their name to the most famous pocket knife pattern in history. Obadiah set up his home and workshop in the small Hartshead district of Sheffield, close to the parish church, where knives were produced that are still talked about today. Some of the earliest Barlow knives had a blade shape very similar to what would later become known as the Lambsfoot, but the Lambsfoot did not evolve as a distinct blade shape until the latter half of the 19th century. The popularity of this versatile blade soon grew, and no later than the early 20th century, it was married to the Barlow knife, becoming a mainstay of Sheffield cutlers.

The name Hartshead ('Hart' is an old word for a male deer) is pronounced as one word, but roughly as Harts-head :thumbsup:

Thanks, Jack and thanks for the background info. Lots of history in that pattern. For some reason when you post it I always thought it was hart-shead. Now I know better 😁
 
What a wonderful GAW! I’d love to participate. I’ve had my eyes open lately for a lambsfoot. I have the itch!
I will be overseas in Azerbaijan for the next few days. No knives with me on this journey :confused:.

Here is a pic of my favorite knife and a refreshing beverage from this past summer. The views are of the Atlantic - Myrtle Beach, SC.

All the best Jack!

Not an entry, since I have a fantastic rosewood Hartshead Barlow! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

Congrats, Jack, on your 50K posts milestone! :cool::cool::thumbsup: My username comes from the 5000 questions I thought I might ask when I joined BF, and your post count might have come from answering each of my questions 10 times (I'm a slow learner 🤓 ).
Congrats also on the impending milestone for the Guardians thread you started; you can be proud of the fine community you developed there!
Thanks for this very generous GAW to commemorate these longevity/productivity benchmarks, and best wishes to all of the entrants!

Even though this is not an entry, I'd like to post 3 photos of knives near water to show how I've been influenced by your photos, Jack! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:
Here's LamBarJack, my rosewood HHB on a bridge over a little creek on a college campus a couple of miles from my house:

Here is Cracker Jack, my stag lambsfoot from another Jack Black SFO, on vacation on the shores of Lake Huron in Michigan's Upper Peninsula:
