Couple of days behind in my replies again; I think the quotes below all appeared first on Sunday. Knife-wise, I think I'll be on the lookout for exotic wood handles.
Dave, I look like a schmuck WHATEVER I wear, but I think that gives me a lot of fashion freedom!
...
Yes, although
For The Term of His Natural Life was written in an easy to read popular novel format, I think it stands the test of time very well. Marcus Clarke had an enquiring mind and observant eye for the foibles and details of early Australia - the thin veneer of transplanted genteel ‘Society’ presiding over a hellish prison system.
...
Speaking of fine Lambsfoot knives, I have a new arrival from another Guardian to reintroduce to the thread.
@Leslie Tomville kindly got in touch with me recently and asked if I’d be interested in giving this Michael May Lambsfoot a new home.
...
Some of you may recall that
@Leslie Tomville specified the stunning bocote covers and full profile Wright Lambsfoot blade, rather than Michael’s more usual version which starts off as a Wright blank but is ground a bit lower and rounder out to the tip.
...
Thanks, as always, Chin, for the fascinating and wide-ranging post!
I enjoyed your comments on prison systems, and the ensuing contributions of many Guardians on prison-related topics.
Congrats on the superb Michael May lambsfoot you obtained via
@Leslie Tomville!
I'm just happy that I was able to pass on the joy of math to both of my boys.
I hope I have done the same with some of my students.
...
Amen to that, John!
...
Today. Dinner of the God's.
...
That red ale looks like something I would enjoy, David, as does the meat pie (and the pearl onions?)!
Good morning, Guardians!
Family portrait.
Lovely family, Vince; given my focus in this post, I'm especially appreciative of that desert ironwood at the top!
Thanks, GT.
I am a proud Father. Not sure about the knife budget though, with 2 in college I think the budget is shrinking.
I've talked a lot today, better post some Lambsfoot content...
Yeah, two growing boys taking big bites out of the fridge contents probably don't take as big a bite out of the family budget as two college students do.
But none of that compares to the big bite that Sköll can inflict!!

it was a rough start loosing the first 2 or 3 games. But man, they have learned a lot and have become clutch players. I'm very impressed with the manager and the coaches.
Very cool, Taylor!
I remember going to lots of figure skating practice and orchestra rehearsals when my daughter was little, and when they'd nail something in competition or performance that they'd struggled with while preparing, I'd get chills every time!
Belt/braces combo is the way to go if you enjoy the company of many knives at once!
I hope my Valley Jack for this week doesn't disappoint you, Jack; it sure lives up to MY expectations!
She's a bit of a vamp GT
...
Thanks GT, resolved well enough for now.
The treasure chest was a gift years ago. It came out an antique shop so not a clue how old it actually is but everything still works. I'm using the glass at the moment as I'm waiting on new reading glasses....
I wish the Union over here was as sunny as your Union over there.
That's a great shot.
Thanks, David.
I have to admit the pic of my Union Jack was taken last August in the height of summer.
Hadn't heard that yet. Saw Wynn play in 1973 in my first trip to the Astrodome. Cedeño was the biggest star of that team, I think.
Altuve is my favorite current player (got to see him here at AA). A team of stars right now, after having lots of bad seasons. New ownership by Jim Crane has been "awesome"! I'm finally okay with the move to the AL.
Neither Altuve nor Wynn seems to be bothered by being "undersized"!
I intended to ask this earlier, but keep forgetting. In a post of your recent visit to WhataBurger Field (??), did the statue in a photo represent a specific player, or was that just a generic ballplayer doing the Colavito stretch?
...
5K Qs
Thank you Gary. Your has a lovely view.
...
Thanks, Harvey.
Your ironwood must be a politician; that's a stupendous shot of the knife "on the stump".
I spoke to Charlie
@waynorth for an hour earlier
What a wonderful man
It has really made my day hearing his voice. Hopefully he'll be home on Thursday. I don't think Lambsfoot knives have left his mind all the time he's been in hospital!
Well done Charlie, and Joanne, and the rest of your family
It's great to have you back pal
Having a beer or two to celebrate
Enter the Dragon!
...
Thanks for the encouraging update on Charlie's health, Jack!

Happy Sunday Guardians!
Lotta grand lambsfoot wood in that display, Taylor!!
Isn't it gratifying to enjoy the fruits of your labors, Vince?
(That blue plate is pretty special, too.
)
Hello Guardians! It’s been a long day and I’m running late. I’ve had my Ironwood Damascus with me today!
Exotic wood AND exotic blade, Ron!
I found an A. Wright stag lambs foot that is calling my name. I'll try to post a picture when it arrives from Sheffield.
Looking forward to seeing what you get,
@WHT!
Hope you had a great weekend everybody
Still having fun with my coin collection

Snakes Alive, Darren!!
Both blade and handle have definite snakiness!
Some rosewood for Blue Monday:
I haven't been thinking of rosewood as "exotic", but your African rosewood is certainly exoticer than "normal" (Brazilian?) rosewood.
Is that your gazebo in the background? Very nice!!
- GT
but when I wear black I'm totally cool
