Have you considered making all of your upcoming Lambsfoot knives with the same handle material? Something like a beautiful dark Ebony? That way, people would not be tempted to buy every cover option and maybe, just maybe, there might be a greater chance that more people would get one. Just a thought.

I think this is an awesome idea, and glad to see Eric is receptive to it! :D

A nice traditional ebony or rosewood sure would be cool to see (as would many other options). I'm excited to see what Eric has planned for them!

I'm super stoked that you guys are happy with the knives!! I always get a little case of butterflies after a batch goes out, never know if my handle choices might be duds or I might have missed something (like those rappers, ugh!!).

Making progress on some brass templates ;) :

Wow! The profile of that lamb is awesome. Hopefully I can get in on the drop. They look great so far Eric!

This is something special, Eric - I am really looking forward to seeing these manifested. I think you've nailed the blade profile, for sure.

Eric, I would suggest a fancy bolster or something such as a rat tail for your lambfoot, but that would probably cause the interweb to break at the drop, and then there would be riots in the streets!! 😁

You're a smart man.
I'd go as far as to say he should use the same material for many runs to come to give everybody a chance at one.
I'm very interested in a Regular sized Lambsfoot with Eric's amount of F&F quality... But I'm not prepared to race everybody and elbow my way through.

Me either…unless Eric puts a hotdog shield on it, then it’s elbows up boys! 🤣

I just noticed the tang shape. Does this mean no half-stop? I don't have a preference either way, just curious how one chooses to go with or without a half-stop. Flip a coin? 😁

I gathered up a handful of my Lambsfoot knives - the wee ones in particular since if Eric is sizing close to his standard line, these ones are pretty comparable.

Of all my Lambsfoot knives, I only have one with a half stop aside from my Waynorth examples and it’s the old Wostenholm you can see in the picture. As such, I’m far more used to a cam tang versus squared on a Lambsfoot. Either way though, these will be a fun addition to Eric’s legacy.

Good idea, although it doesn't change much for me, since there is no shipping to Europe. 🤷‍♂️
