I certainly dont think ill will... personally I love the mismatched, super thin to thick stag but to each their own! Here's one that would drive most people mad..... fits my hand perfectly!

I was hoping to pocket a different piece of Stag today but the wait continues. This AC is still my favorite and it's really starting to show some pocket wear.

I haven't liked some of the fat-cut Pere David stag I've had in the past, but with Sambar, I pretty much like it all ways, from the skillfully thin-cut old stag to the gnarly hand-filling stuff. I always like it, particularly with an old knife, where the stag almost melts into the liner, so thin that, at first, you think they cut it too thin, but then you look, and realise just how skilled the cutler was. It used to irritate me the way Wright's cut their stag too thick, and then ground half the bark off, Trevor Ablett sometimes did the same, but now I think they are getting better, and I'm very pleased with the stag models we've had from them. I just wish they could get more good Sambar, but worry what we've had may be the last of it :( :thumbsup:
Morning Guardians, I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead of them :) :thumbsup:

Thank you Steve, I love Stag, especially the sambar (Père David not so much), but I really like this knife because it molds itself well by hand by having the almost symmetrical sides!;):thumbsup:

Nice "filework" pic - grats :thumbsup:

Thank you Jack! :thumbsup: :)
I agree with you on the part about cutting off the bark. That never really makes any sense. If the stag is too thick they should remove the excess from the bone side and leave the bark intact. The bark is what makes the Stag unique, with no two being exactly the same. There’s no question that the skill level at Wright’s has been elevated. This is evident by all the beautiful knives that they have been producing for you and all of us lucky Guardians. Wright’s has some beautiful Sambar and it would be a shame if their supplies were to be depleted.
Thanks Jack! I do really appreciate you my friend! :D

Good Morning Guardians
My desire to see my son compete is greater than my hatred of the Bay Area (sorry @waverave ), so I have a road trip today. Headed down to Stanford this afternoon to watch the Drum Corps International competition, it should be an amazing show!!!

Hope you have a safe drive and an enjoyable time. Very nice pic! :)

Among the males with whom I grew up, giving someone a hard time was a sign of affection, Vince. :D:thumbsup::thumbsup: The women in my life have never appreciated that. :eek::(

We used to call that a "cut", a good one was a "low cut". They were not meant as insults but however were often derogatory in nature. In fact, there was a very popular song by Bo Diddly called Say, Man that was comprised of a conversation between guys engaged in such an interaction.
Aw, the heck with it. Rather expounding further, here's the song:

Good to hear that iconic call again. Thanks, Vince. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I wonder if the Guardians need an official "battlecry"?
Click to expand...
How about: "For England and St. George!"? Or: "For Texas and Miss Lilly!"? Or: "Remember the Alamo!"? The Tarzan yell works too. ;)

Congrats on the Hartshead stag, Vince! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I enjoyed reading your description of your current flock of lambs. :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks, Gary. Wonder if I should start naming them like you do.

I've been the recipient of lots of affection all my life!

Love the reddish tints in your stag, Vince! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: Looks like the blade etch has what numismatists call a "double strike", I think. That probably makes your Hartshead Barlow even more valuable!

Don't know if it's more valuable, but I'm waiting for a more legible replacement. I thought it was my eyes -- I am overdue for an eye exam. :)

I even managed a mid-afternoon pint before walking back home again :) :thumbsup:

Official closing ceremony yesterday! Whew thank goodness now onto bigger and better things...11 years with a department and all I got was this stinking challenge coin. Oh well, at least I had this amazing Barlow in my pocket!

Thanks, John. :) Let's just hold off awhile on yearning for fall, OK?? I've been anticipating summer for about 8 months, and I'd be thrilled if the next 3 months lasted a loooong time! :rolleyes:

Let's just say the weather here is the mirror image of yours. 6 months of grueling summer, looking forward to fall and winter so I can play outside.

You have some of the nicest horn on the 2017 Guardians, IMHO! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

I aim to educate. ;) That's a fine Cracker Jack you're carrying, here's the pile side of horn.

I may wrong, I frequently am since advancing age keeps sneaking up behind me, but it seems to me the folks at Cracker Jack are missing a marketing opportunity here. If they were to start slipping a Lambsfoot knife in every box just to stick with the tradition of a prize in every box or if not that, perhaps a Lambsfoot knife in 1 of every 500 boxes they ship might bring even more buyers. The downside is you may have to teach the recently fledged hatch of kids what a box of Cracker Jacks is.

What do you guys think?

There goes my idea for next year's April Fools thread...gotta come up with something else now. ;):D

I think it's the idiot who etched the blade who needs an eye exam Vince, that and some other things! :mad: :thumbsup:

Thanks my friend, that was the cheeky pint :) :thumbsup:

Good Morning Guardians of the Lambsfoot. We have high overcast skies here in southern Minnesota with an occasional bit of blue peeking through. I need to get some photographs, too, and think I may wait a bit and see if the flat light goes away before the noon day sun arrives.
