Wow, one of the world's great rivers

I'm not in Jack because I'm blessed with these knives but thank you my kind and generous friend for all you do. And I want to echo Joshua's words - I never tire of your beautiful photos of the amazing country in which you abide. From the rural and pastoral to the ancient edifices I find it all enchanting.View attachment 1804798View attachment 1804800View attachment 1804803View attachment 1804802

Many thanks Dwight, for the kind words, for sharing your wonderful photographs, for being along for the ride, and most of all for your friendship

I’m in. Thanks for the opportunity Jack and all you do for the community. View attachment 1804839

Thank you Todd, great pic

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 riverView attachment 1804867 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.

Those pics looks good to me, great views Thank you for entering

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!

Impressive pic my friend, good luck

Great GAW Jack
(not an entry)

Did you say water ?

Thank you Dan, wonderful photos there my friend

Not an entry since I have a fine example, but what a fantastic GAW from Jack!!!

Thanks pal, cool pic

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?)

Thank you very much Duncan, those are fabulous pics I miss you buddy

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.

I know we have a few members with special circumstances afishhunter , so I'll throw this pic in for you. You're in

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

A pleasure my friend I used to know a rather snobby woman from a place called Portishead, near the English town of Bristol. Much to her annoyance, I would always call it 'Port-A-Shed'!

Not an entry, but a tribute to your generosity, and your great Lambsfoot Barlow, Jack!!
Where would we be without your Sheffield influence??

Sincere thanks my dear friend

Long Live The Lambsfoot

Not an entry, trying to get stuff here is rather difficult at the moment. Code for - Nightmare. But a serious offer of generosity. These are collectors items. .

Is it really that bad Leon? If you change your mind mate, and should win, I don't mind hanging onto the prize, until it's safe to ship

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 .

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!

Great-looking old Lambsfoot there Steve

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

Congrats, Jack, on your 50K posts milestone! 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!

Very cool Jimmy

Hi Jack
Im in, TY for the opportunity!
Grats for 50K post
HAGD

Thanks a lot Great pic

 

[cudgee]

Leon what kind of wood are those lamb handles made of?

They are made out of some driftwood found along the Scottish coast, made under the previous management of the company, so it is a really beautiful well made piece of cutlery. I'm only filthy i did not get 2 when i had the chance, the wood is that nice wont get another chance to get wood like this again. Feels beautiful in the hand and looks spectacular in real time, photos can't do it justice.

 

[Jolipapa]

Not in, I already won this lambsfoot thanks to another GAW you did.
No water, but SF tram, never far of the ocean!

I would love to enter! Thanks Jack! This is a very generous offer.

Happy May Day, Jack et. al.

Here is a pic of the M May I mentioned earlier. Hopefully this link works. I had trouble embedding the image.

Thank you, Happy May Day to you too That's a very appropriate knife! Great pic

So to enter, post 'I'm in', and post a photo of one of your knives, with a river, pond, creek, or some other watery natural feature in the background (reservoirs count, the kitchen sink doesn't!).

I first thought that I might skip this generous give away, since I received a lambsfoot knife, gifted from one of the kind guardians this week. After some careful thought, I reasoned that Bill wouldn't want me to skip just because he sent me the Lambsfoot knife.

So I am in Mr. Jack, because a Hartshead Barlow doesn't come along every day. I thank you for the chance !

I intended to go out and get some new pictures, but, the threat of rain hasn't diminished, and the time to go in the hat is drawing closer.

Here is a lil something from Sheffield….

 

[rishma]

I am in for this wonderful GAW! Two Hartshead Barlow giveaways in a row?!? Always amazingly generous around here.

This GAW thread has fantastic pictures. Well done all. Best of luck to all entries and thank you Jack Black for your excellent presence here on the porch.

So is rain

 

[Primble]

So is rain

I thought about that, but, didn't want to push my luck !
I could imagine that Mr. Jack might notify me ..................Bzzzzz - Rain don't count Mr. P.
My camera don't like the rain neither.
He never said nothing about the bathroom sink. Decided not to go there either !

Great pic Alain

Thank you, Happy May Day to you too That's a very appropriate knife! Great pic

Thanks, Jack. This is looking South Southeast from Seattle. The view is of Lake Washington and the Seward Park peninsula. If the clouds were not there you would see Mt. Rainier.

 

[Markesharp]

I have the same problem Rob!!
It's been raining everyday since I entered Jacks GAW. I had some photos on photo bucket but they're gone!
Could you send some photos to me cause I don't want to be disqualified?!

I'll bet your fishbone stamp (as in your avatar) would count as water-related, Mark!

Yes sir! Fish bowls aren't considered sinks in Michigan....as far as I know.
