I was wondering if the Benchmade Proper fits in the Lambs foot or wharnclif category? I placed the same pic in that forum too. Posted this in the sheepsfoot section too. Based on what I have read, it looks more like a Sheepsfoot because of the straighter spine, not the slight curve starting from the tang. Just food for thought at too early in the morning.
Well, my friend, that's a Real Lambs FootNot so long ago, I had never heard anything about Lambsfoot pattern. And then, I had the opportunity to buy a second hand Lambsfoot with ironwood handle and Jack told me that it is a recent one, part of the 2019 Guardians of The Lambsfoot batch. Ironwood scale are really beautiful and knife is very agreable in hand. Don't know if that makes me a Guardian of The Lambsfoot but I'm sure that it makes me a Lambsfoot fan.
That's a mighty fine photo of your Ironwood. 
I'm sure Jack will be along later today to comment.
Thank you, my friend.That is without a doubt one of the nicest compliments I've ever received. Thank you.
Kindred spirits, amigo - kindred spirits

Good morning and a great weekend for everyone.
Magnificent AC Jack, this shave is like going back to the old time, it tastes good to remember!!!
Another photo of the "19" and a view of the Palace of Pena in Sintra!!!
I apologize to all the Guardians and especially to Jack (because it's still early), but I'd like to hear from you if the next Guardians Lambs foot "20", could make their hands with "Saw Cut Dark Chestnut Bone" or "Autumn Gold Smooth Bone".
Please do not call me crazy, it's just an idea!!!
Lucy is a blood thirsty little Lamb.
Good Morning Guardians
Good morning, Guardians!
Did someone mention beer?
The Clitheroe beer festival in north Lancashire yesterday.
It was for sure, oh well, a new chapter starts this coming Wednesday. I'm thinking the new area will also have its beauty with the rolling hills and the Rockies as a background.
Once again, good luck on Wednesday, hope everything goes according to plan I learned to shave with one of those, it was my Dad's Gillette. I sure sliced myself up pretty good a couple of times
I do find the open-comb on the one I was gifted gives an even smoother shave though 
Two more photos of the lime/lemon, or maybe lime/brown!!!
The forthcoming Lambsfoot being produced by GEC for Charlie @waynorth will be the first true US-produced Lambsfoot I believe. Discussions here have generally concluded that the main reason the pattern didn't cross the pond with other patterns, is that the Lambsfoot did not emerge until the latter part of the 19th century, at a time when US import tariffs were encouraging Sheffield cutlery manufacturers to seek alternative markets (in Australia for example, where the Lambsfoot is a popular pattern). With hunting and fishing being such popular pursuits in the US compared to the UK (here, fishing tends to be catch and release, while hunting is generally the preserve of the wealthy), American cutlery producers had little incentive to introduce a new single-blade straight-edge pattern, when many of their customers probably preferred to have a primary blade with some belly

Great pic of your '19
Thanks a lot JackIt definitely isn't a Lambsfoot
Welcome to the Guardians my friend, you are definitely a bonafide member of our esteemed order
Hope you have a nice Sunday 
David, you do the main documentaries and I do the cartoons just like the Saturday matinee at the Roxy Theater.
That's a great idea! Except the neighbors will think I'm spying on them.
That could be an issue for sure.
I'm sure there will be many other critters enjoying it at night.
Luckily, I don't think mountain lions are attracted to bird feeders... At least I hope not
Y'all need the ROLLER FEEDER. You can place it 6" off the ground and gray or red squirrels and raccoons simply can not get to the seed. A bear or more aggressive animal of course is pretty much impossible to beat. It took me 12 years of experimenting to devise truly squirrel & raccoon proof bird feed stations but for the last 6 years or so I have it.
2 things have saved me. 1) the Roller Feeder 2) I use an 18" mooring ball on the pole between the ground and the 6' high platform feeder. Squirrels and raccoons simply cannot crawl over the mooring ball. Great entertainment watching squirrels do a running start - hit the ball and then do a complete backwards somersault as they fly back to the ground.
Rodents? I guess. I do see mice at night and squirrels are considered rodents. My feeders are 40' feet away from the house or hanging off the porch on a 3' foot horizontal. Rodents are not a problem. The flying squirrels can easily get into the Roller Feeder but fortunately they live in my neighbors attic.
So we are now all living in a peaceable kingdom. I do put out some seed on the ground as a token gesture to the squirrels. They seem to appreciate it. Have cut back on that very hard though because I started having problems with turkeys. They make the ground look like a moonscape after weeks of 18 or more turkeys scraping away. Still see foxes eating seeds off the ground - day or night and once had a deer licking out of the platform feeder. Yup - I look out a night with a flashlight. Amazing all the action out there.
Sorry Jack and Guardians - no lamb foot content. That - I promise - is coming, hopefully sooner than later but I just had to chime in on this bird feeder discussion.
Ray
) don't seem interested in seed or fat balls so have left the feeders alone. But then we have a lot of horse chestnut, oak and beech trees so there not short of their natural food sources. I've never tried it myself, but if the squirrels started on our bed feeders I was going to give it a go. You could set up a camera and sell it as a North American wildlife documentary. I like the mooring ball solution. My mate wrapped about 2 feet of aluminium sheet around the bottom of their bird table, and so far the squirrels haven't figured out how to beat that.

Great pics David, hope you had a good time

Lovely photo of your '19 Jose
Stunning Jose!
That looks good Jose, I hope the time will come when Wright's use of bone becomes more imaginative, as per your earlier suggestion
Morning Guardians, hope everyone is having a great weekend, and that you all have a perfect Sunday
