That museum looks really interesting. Anyway tomorrows weather looks pants so at least it's indoors.

LOL! Yeah, there's a guy goes in my local, looks and dresses like Yosemite Sam!

The rain held off over there, but when we got to Golcar the museum was closed Headed back into Huddersfield, and had a pint of something by Mallinson's at The Sportsman

Top of the Morning to all
Well, this old grandpa survived the trip to Yosemite and everyone had a wonderful and memorable time.
Although it snowed there the night before, our day saw nary one drop of precipitation and we experienced the skies you will see below
I resisted spending $$ at Ansel Adams as a small voice kept murmuring "Barlow...Barlow" as I looked ( Jack Black - hint, HINT, HINT ) although I do have the card from one gallery employee
All in all, a great time was enjoyed by all:
L>R_ Samantha (Grandson's girlfriend), Shaylin (Granddaughter), Jayme (Granddaughter), Skylar (Grandson)

Excellent pics, OG. So glad you all had a good time.

Thanks, Jack.

I'm not sure what Parkin is... but the Lamb looks delicious.

 

[Jack Black]

Jack Black I can see that cloth weaving is a passion for you. Hope you get a chance for a visit.

Not too much really Harvey, but history is, and it's a real big part of the history of the area I live in now

Here's one JohnDF should appreciate!

Cool pic Dennis

Good morning and great weekend guys.
Today I started doing something that might not end well, because I have no experience what I'm doing (nor tools), as you can see from the photo I'm polishing my Pere David and that's what she looks like now!!!

Interesting project Jose, I think that no experience and no tools is a much better combination than no experience and power tools!

Nice pic buddy

Looking good there Dwight

Thanks Jack I'll check it out.

Thanks for the info, David, as Jack stated, maybe something with BF. I just checked in the tech/help/support thread and there was no mention of problems with multi-quote. I don't frequent many other threads so don't know if any use the multi-quote as

Great area, hope you get back soon. I can appreciate that photo, love the Winchester '94, have two of them One was purchased in UK at a 'rod and gun' club in 1966 by it's previous owner...I'll post a photo at a later date.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained...looks good Jose. I like it better.

All things in their own time Taylor, you're ready now, you weren't 12 years ago. The fact that you're paying for it now makes it more meaningful!
Have a great weekend Guardians...
Stag, Damascus and Indian Paintbrush a great start to mine.

I suspect there's more multi-quoting done here than in some of the other sub-forums, and could just be that nobody has mentioned it Preston It's certainly both annoying and frustrating

Happy Saturday Guardians!

My day is gonna be filled with relaxing at home. First weekend in a while where my wife, my son or I don't have any plans! I'm think pizza for dinner?! Then gonna watch the Warriors and Blazzers game tonight!

Sounds great Taylor

Good morning, Guardians!

Rise and Shine!

Fantastic stuff OG, and thanks for those amazing pics Hard to believe that spectacularly beautiful valley isn't photoshopped! Must have been incredible when folks first came across it Absolutely wonderful, you are a lucky man my friend

As always, I enjoy reading this thread, but the thought of trying to do justice to everyone's contributions paralyzes me into a non-posting stupor.

I've been carrying my 2017 Guardians horn lambsfoot all week, so at least I can post another pic of that Lam Jack, here cavorting with my rosewood:

See what I mean, GT? A great composition and arrangement, enhanced by beautiful side light.

Jack Black Thank you. That would be great. I do like the Parkin. Soft, dense, an engaging chew, and gingery.

Let’s see... A Barlow that needs a bigger tin, with vintage Sambar, perhaps a special blade, perhaps with other surprises, made by an up and coming Cutler with you leading the project. Oh Yeah! I’m in, please. It’s like you are rejuvenating the glory days of the Lambsfoot. Pre-Kudos, Kudos.

JohnDF - From Wikipedia: “Parkin or perkin is a gingerbread cake traditionally made with oatmeal and black treacle,[1] which originated in northern England. Often associated with Yorkshire, particularly the Leeds area,[2] it is very widespread and popular elsewhere, notably in Lancashire. Parkin is baked to a hard cake but with resting becomes moist and even sometimes sticky. In Hull and East Yorkshire, it has a drier, more biscuit-like texture than in other areas.[citation needed] Parkin is traditionally eaten on Guy Fawkes Night,[3] 5 November, but is also enjoyed throughout the winter months. It is baked commercially throughout Yorkshire, but is mainly a domestic product in other areas.”

 

[OLd_gUY]

Wow. Just Wow. Great post OG. Experiences like this one are priceless. Happy for you.

Thank you - How right you are. I asked the little one to walk with me while crossing a street and she made sure I looked both ways

Excellent pics, OG. So glad you all had a good time.

It was wonderful - Thank You

...
Fantastic stuff OG, and thanks for those amazing pics Hard to believe that spectacularly beautiful valley isn't photoshopped! Must have been incredible when folks first came across it Absolutely wonderful, you are a lucky man my friend
...

Thank you It is a wondrous and almost magical place that remains incredible to me every time I visit. That view is directly below the spot from which the first non native, first viewed the valley. From what I have read, it was a jaw dropping and awe inspiring experience and I think that everyone who visits shares the same astonishment. I sincerely hope that everyone reading this finds an opportunity to visit.
And you're right. I'm a very lucky man in many ways.

It actually sounds like it would be pretty good. Thanks for posting all that, it's something I'll have to keep an eye out for.

I very much do appreciate it. I haven't seen a pair of rough stock spurs in years!!! That's so cool that you still have yours. That model 94 looks well-loved and in great condition. Very cool picture, Dennis. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks, John!
The top pair my grandfather made them out of an old horseshoe rasp. The bottom pair, which you no doubt recognize, have the inward angle. Those were my bull riding rowels, i also have a pair of rowles for bareback as well somewhere.

Skipped over this gem! Beautiful stag, Dwight!!

Beautiful!!
Haven't seen Indian Paintbrush in a long time!

Good morning, Guardians!

Great shot, Vince! Blends nicely!

Best thread on the internet!

 

[Half/Stop]

I hope y’all will forgive me for not carrying a Lambsfoot today! I just wanted to offer up some Wee Sambar eye candy since it’s Stag Saturday!

 

[JohnDF]

The bottom pair, which you no doubt recognize, have the inward angle. Those were my bull riding rowels, i also have a pair of rowles for bareback as well somewhere.

I wasn't sure if they were your bull or bronc spurs, I didn't see the rowels wired down for bull riding.

 

[5K Qs]

Looks like the posts quoted here appeared last Tuesday & Wednesday, so they're "old news". I'll let that be a theme for most of the knives I admire here and stick to vintage knives, for the most part.

...
If I put on skates my day would be over before it started!
...

I am forbidden to ice skate. My wife has seen me fall with roller skates, and even while walking on the jetties on Padre Island (they were very slippery!).

...
@Foddering -I’m with you, Dwight. If I were to get on skates...That will no longer ever happen. ...

I have gone up in the air a few times myself Vince, and am now getting a bit old for that kind of thing!

Gravity definitely seems to be getting stronger as time goes by! I was knocked onto my butt while playing basketball Tuesday, and now have a bruise to (not) show for it! I've lately spent some time each day working on balancing on one foot; I'm not looking forward to the day when I can no longer put on my socks while I'm standing up!

...
Along with the M. Hunter, I also received this William Roger Lambsfoot.

...
That's a nice William Rodgers my friend, it gives me an excuse to show mine (I have a third I need to photograph) The knives were made by John Clark, who having acquired the defunct William Rodgers mark, used it as a stand-alone brand, with considerable success

Harvey & Jack, those are some attractive vintage lambsfoots from William Rodgers! Jack, I especially like your 2-bladed model; how is the pull on the pen blade? Harvey, does yours have a secondary blade?

Sorry for the long-delayed response, Harry. No “England” on the tang. Both blades are marked Unity over Sheffield. Closed is about 3 7/8” and OAL is about 6 13/16, though maybe lost a little to a rounded tip over the years.

Thanks mate, that's mine and Chin's Here's a pic of mine with the blade open

Impressive Unity knives, Mike & Jack! Mike, the bone on yours is very attractive in color and jigging, including worm grooves; I also like the 2-blade configuration!

Today arrived the "18", plus a very practical plastic box, a very beautiful Yorkshire photo guide, postcard, pin and coin also made the knife company. Many thanks for your dedication Jack!

This "18" is really a wonder, I love it, thank you again Jack.

...
Ladies and gentlemen, a new guardian has recieved his Lambsfoot and is reporting for duty!

José & David, congrats on receiving your prizes from Jack's GAW; he continues to outdo himself with the packages he sends out!! José, the ebony Guardian is one of my favorites, and I'm sure you'll enjoy yours greatly! David, congrats on your first lambsfoot and welcome to the Guardians!!

Darn those Gremlins! That Lam Jack is beautiful, GT.

5K Qs - GT I lose quotes all the time without a reboot. That Horn Lam Jack is a looker of a lamb brother. Sleep well.

Sorry about the Gremlins, GT. They can be mischievous little creatures. The Lam Jack is looking great with a well earned patina.

...
That's infuriating GT! Thanks for all your efforts my friend, that's a great pic of your Lam Jack
...

...
Gary, I've had those same gremlins...they are not playing nice, Lam Jack is looking good...no gremlins there!

Quite and post, even in two parts. Great dedication on your part.
...

Harvey, Dwight, John, Jack, Preston: thanks for consoling me over the disappearing multi-quotes, and for admiring my horn Lam Jack. I've never lost multi-quotes "mysteriously" yet; it always happens if I "lose connection" with Blade Forums by logging out, or quitting my browser, or shutting down my computer (I never use a phone for internet).
Thanks for your comment on my posts, Preston. I once had a "reputation" for posting relatively lengthy messages in the Totin' Today thread and the Guardians thread almost every day, but I can't (or at least don't) seem to do that any more due to increased traffic in each thread.

Beautiful knife, Gary. (Hope you're not watching the Astros-Tigers game. .)

Thanks, Vince. I didn't watch any of the games in that series, but I heard about them with sadness, but not surprise.

...
Morning Guardians, hope everyone is hale and hearty I haven't carried this TEW in a while, so thought I'd take it out for a spin

Another alluring 2-bladed vintage lambsfoot makes an appearance! Thanks for showing it, Jack!

Good Morning Guardians
My morning routine... I'm drinking coffee, reading the Guardian thread, and preparing for work.

Looks like somebody had a lot of linear equations to solve!

Beautiful Horn Lamb and scenery, GT.

Thanks, John. The scenery was some of the buildings (dorms and field house) on the campus where I worked that were visible from my office.

Thank you all! GT, I'm going to have to adopt "Little Big Horn" because it just makes sense!
...
I received my K'roo lambsfoot yesterday. It is exquisite!

Congrats on the arrival of your custom lambsfoot, Joshua! Couple of fine lambsfoots came your way recently! Glad you like the knife name I proposed.

When I joined, I thought no one used their real name, so I just tried to come up with something a little obscure. Didn't give much thought to it, but don't feel like changing it.
There are some clever usernames. I like yours, e.g. Also, "Misplaced Hillbilly" and "Jack Black" (and that's his real name!). Lots of good ones.

That is the one I take out on Saturday nights.
You're right about the glasses, they came from the same empire of dirt.

Lamb Jack is looking dapper as ever.

Thanks for the comments, FBC.

“Lambsfoot Hunter” Thank you GT, I like that...But I can’t hold a candle(or Lambsfoot) to our Jack Black He’s the undisputed King of the Lambsfoot. Also thank you for the kind words.

Not only do AI love your taste and dedication to your knife choices, but also notice and appreciate your use of light in your images. Your beautiful Lam Jack is a great example.

You're too kind, Harvey; thanks!

Welcome, mate. I joined about a year ago, and I really enjoy the ability to post photographs. Didn't know how at first, but a member told me how using a computer. I post almost exclusively now with my iPhone. It's easier than I thought it would be. If you stick around and decide to get a paid membership (well worth the minimal cost), I could send you a detailed private message showing you how to post pictures with a smartphone if you decide you want to.
Cheers!
Vince
P.S. It looks like we share a birthday (different year).

@cudgee Been there, done that
Here's a link that explains a pretty straight forward method on how to use Imgur which is used by many CLICK HERE
And here's one that lists the benefits of the different paid membership levels CLICK HERE
...

Kudos, Vince & OG, for your willingness to help out!!

...

That looks tasty, David!

Now I have two Guardians 18 and 19, and the 18 is now in my pocket.
Therefore, my herd has already grown one more unit!!!
...

Very impressive flock, José!

Thanks GT (Lucy is blusing - just a little )

Thanks pal, your ebony '18 is looking crisp
...

Thanks, Jack.

I nearly lost the second half of my post there! Hope everyone has had a good day. I'm not far off hitting the hay here, as I have an early appointment with my pals in the market tomorrow Going to be taking Lucy with me

Lucy sure is a looker! Do you ever carry the repaired prototype Ironwood any more, or has Lucy completely supplanted it??

...
Much appreciated Harvey and that's a delicious delectable most indulgent and decadent almost indecent dichotomy of deceptive temptation.

Dang, Dwight!!

...
You talk purdy for a country boy.

There's a Slim Pickens line from Blazing Saddles that would be apt here, but it's not family-friendly.

I'd better rustle up some supper.

Your posts are always rich in content irregardless of volume GT. Just as long as you stay with us.

Dang, Dwight!!

I'm loquacious. Ask OG.

Okay, here's a perfect example. I just quoted OG TWICE! Neither one of them showed up. BOTH DROPPED. I'm pretty sure another quote is missing too but I can't remember what it was. It's becoming an every day occurrence. Rant Over.
OLd_gUY - Great post OG, beautiful family and thanks for the iconic view of the falls. Glad your trip was a good one.

Looking to pick up my first lambsfoot. Do you guys think it will be tough to grab a GEC 93 lambsfoot or will it be difficult to score on of those guys based on the demand. GEC increased their production numbers for each pattern but most of what they are making for the 93 will be with the ramsfoot blade.
