I enjoy this thread immensely, but have little to contribute to it! I'll report that the lambsfoot my wife and daughter got me in York in April is still alive and well.

"Shamed"???After being shamed by GT
...
I thought my geezerly wisdom (not to mention ironclad logic) gently persuaded you to carry two knives, Alan! - GT

Wow, I started to multiquote some comments for the last couple of pages, but there's just too many exceptional pics, posts and amazing Lambsfoot knives being shown. This thread just gets better and better! If I want to explain to anyone the attraction of this knife pattern, I'll just point them right here. What an incredible array of Lambsfooty goodness!
Ok I have a quick announcement to make: I'm a bit of an eejit!
But a happy eejit, nonetheless.
I found my lost ebony A. Wright Lambsfoot!
As I'd mentioned a while ago, I misplaced it while carrying a bunch of knives to take some outdoor pics of, and update my photo archives. I had pulled it out to harvest some tasty looking field mushrooms I saw, and closed it, put it in my coin pocket, and that was the last I saw of it. Of course I went looking for it a few times, and kept hoping it would turn up. I would occasionally get a terrible image-flash of it lying rusting in the rain and mud somewhere, and renew my searching, but to no avail.
After finally accepting that it was lost and mentioning it in a post here, wouldn't ya know: I went out to my car again and stood outside it, leaning in over the centre console, when I caught a tiny, familiar glimpse of brass, steel, and ebony down in the gap between the seatbelt attachment and the plastic housing of the pivot point of the drivers seat. It was wedged vertically, so that it wasn't visible when I got down behind the seat and examined the rails and underneath the seat. I'd even used a piece of wire to poke around there, a few times.
Happy day! (And a chance to use another one of the words I was taught in Ireland!)
Awright, thanks for indulging me, back to our normal programming, now!
This is definitely one of my favourite usin' knives.
Greg, that was a great post, my friend. I can definitely vouch for the usefulness of the Lambsfoot as a camp knife.
And a combo that GT might approve of!
And another favourite pairing, when 'out bush':
(Sorry, I hope the non Lambsfoot knives - a handmade O1 hunter/bush knife a friend and I made, and a Vic Escort - are ok to show for the purpose of this discussion point of Lambsfoot-based pairings; if not, I'll edit them out.)
Alan, you're starting down a slippery slope, there, my friend!

Chin, I'm glad to hear you found your lost lambsfoot!
And hey, now we know what to get you for Christmas!
Ha ha, classic, Barrett!
Thanks, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's 'lost' something only to realise it's been riding alongside me every time I've been driving!Now if only they'd make it a standard factory fitting, it might sell even more cars than cup holders did!

Chin, congratulations on finding your Ebony A. Wright. I'm happy it had been safely tucked away in the seat the whole time.
And, as always, great photos my friend.
