My favorite edition to my carry is this sweet Miller High Life lifter!!! I have had it for a while now. But forgot all about it.

Thanks Ron, one is actually my DamLamb, I thought it was owed some pocket-time Great pic my friend

Thanks Jack!

The rosewoods are every bit as nice as the stags.

Thanks John! The Rosewoods are very nice! Congratulations to your son, I hope all goes well today!

Ron, those are a couple of heavenly Hartshead Barlows! I can see where the asymmetry of the stag slabs can be considered less than ideal visually, but I agree with Steve that having thicker stag on the pile side (for a right-hand user) actually improves the feel of a stag-handled knife, at least with the grip I typically use. (Of course, all these aesthetic issues are very subjective.)

Thanks for the compliment Gary! (Of course they are subjective!)

Thank you, Ron.

Congrats on a stunning pic of your stunning Lambsfoot

Here are my four Lambs JohnDF . Been a great year for the Lambsfoot knife!

Outstanding collection, Taylor

Great Sunday afternoon to you, Guardians. Ten pages behind...oh well, know that I'm around and thinking Lambsfoot thoughts. Yucca is prevalent around here, much to my disfavor, because it has very sharp needle like points on the end of the spikes(danger to Dutch) and is all but impossible to get rid of. The blooms how ever are spectacular(see below), these have not reached their height...I will post more later. It is on the fence line between me and neighbor's property, I have worked hard not to have any that can't be mowed! Hope your weekend has one well.

I seemed to recall that Yucca is one of those plants that has numerous health benefits - so I looked it up and found (FWIW) it can be used to help control diabetes, aid in digestion, lower cholesterol, reduce stress on the heart, among a bunch of other stuff.
It's a source of potassium, as well as Folic Acid and has a high level of Vitamin C. It also is supposed to help relieve arthritic pain due to it's anti-inflammatory properties, improve cognition and is supposed to help with migraines.
Thought that was kinda interesting

So... today was the day for my attempt at Texas-style smoked hot links.
Here's the first of two strings to come off of the smoker:

Shortly afterwards, I used my Hartshead Barlow to separate the links. And to cut one open (gotta get that patina going, tmd_87 ):

It sliced through it like butter.
I'm quite happy with the texture and level of smoke, but I need to bump up the heat next time. In the mean time, a judicious dose of Austin's Own BBQ Sauce (Border Edition - Medium; my favorite BBQ sauce) gave it some needed kick and the sausage was the main part of an enjoyable lunch.
Have a great rest of your weekend, everyone!

Lookin' absolutely DELICIOUS Wonder if r8shell's Well's Fargo wagon might bring some my way?

All that previous talk of hair cuts and razors reminded me of my youth when my Dad would cut my hair with an old electric clippers. I swear it pulled out more hair than it cut.
Here is a pair of Sheffield lovelies...

Brilliant photos of fantastic Rosewood!

Thank you Greg. The sausage links look delicious.

That's a great picture there, Dwight. Everybody looks so happy.

Thank you John. We are a happy lot.

That explains what I've been seeing when I look in the mirror these days

ain't it so...

Congrats on a stunning pic of your stunning Lambsfoot

Much obliged OG!

I'm liking all these barber stories. My involvement ended when I was 23 with my first unavoidable 0 cut.

They look great Greg! As an Apprentice Butcher/Meat cutter when I was 16, sausage making curing and smoking of the Hams and Bacon was where they started me off.

That's a Pile of fine Horn there, Rachel! Nice shot!

I keep spotted quoted posts that I've missed! Sorry folks

Me too! (Different Me Too movement)!

The Loot from Leeds arrived today! I had a feeling these were gonna be very special and I wasn't disappointed. Here is one of them for now.

Congratulations, Dwight! Well worth the wait! And nice photo to showcase it!

I'm just enjoying this with a couple of nice samosas

Life's little rewards

I spent the morning cleaning the garage and getting my Jeep ready for some trail time, as soon as all the snow melts.


And of course I hand my Rosewood handy for all the cutting chores.

Rosie's all right!
We use to have a 2004 Wrangler, a red one! Had to trade it off for a Tundra to pull our trailer, but I miss it!

Think I'll join you:

Cheers!

Double Nice, Vince!!

Nice shot, Taylor!

As much as I’m anticipating the arrival of the latest masterpiece, my first Lambsfoot does everything I ask.
Thanks Jack!

Looks more than capable!! Nicely captured!

 

[mitch4ging]

Morning Guardians, hope everyone has a relaxing and restful Sunday

Here at Grumble Towers, there's no rest for the weary unfortunately!

What a dandy shot, Jack! Good way to start a Sunday! Great stag on that one!

Thunder and heavy rain today. Have a great Sunday Guardians.

Another great shot, Dwight! You and Jack started the day in fine fashion! Incredible covers!

After a bit of this yesterday...

Dave is having an easy Sunday....

Either look great to me! Great looking Helping Horn!

I’m carrying my Rosewood model today!

Nice shot, Ron! More woody goodness!

Hope you all have a great Sunday too.

Stagtastic Shot, John!
Hope your Sunday was a pleasant one! How did your son fair today?

Cracker Jack in his youth:

A fine looking fellow, that Cracker Jack!
The police down in my home town, Silver City NM nicknamed my dad Cracker Jack in his younger days because of drag racing all the time, and he usually got caught!

Lambsfoot content

Another nice foto, Jack! Such nice stag on 'em!

About time for a family photo I think...

The ironwood is slightly bigger than the rosewood, and the Barlow slightly bigger still.

Little Joe, Adam and Hoss?
Great family foto, John!

I'm just pausing for a quick beer and a burger (bit of a lazy burger)

At least you're doing it in style! Great file work, very special one you got there, Jack!

Linda and I went to Montanas for the first time last night for a burger and beer. Ordered The Canadian Burger and I have to say it was one of the best tasting burgers we've had in years.

Man, what a great looking burger! Great blade ro help manage it! Nice, Dave!

More Lambsfoot content...
I flushed the joint and touched up the edge.

Nice! Ready for the next whirlwind adventure! Maybe while out Jeeping!

View attachment 1149802

Dwight, you captured the incredible stag and pattern welded blade on that one so nicely! Well done, my friend!

Here are my four Lambs JohnDF . Been a great year for the Lambsfoot knife!

What a dandy lineup, Taylor! 4 great beauties!

Beautiful shot, Preston!
It's taken me three days to try to catch up, and some have disappeared after I go back and read it! But hope to keep up now!

Nice photo, Preston! Growing up, we use to use the old, dead yucca poles, and joust on horseback!
We never had problems with yucca plants, but porcupines...that's another story!

Twenty years ago, I doubt anybody would believe you could still get knives made like that in Sheffield

And no doubt you had a great influence on them, and for that, we are all greatful!!

Jack, such great knives. Walk n talk is superior! The Fit and finish on these knives have seemed to get better and better with each version!

Indeed!

Hey David we have the same haircut. View attachment 1149881

Great family shot, Dwight! We are on our second ill tempered, but loveable dachshund!

But forgot all about it.

Double Dose of handyness, Taylor!

Here is a pair of Sheffield lovelies...

Very nice!

Mmmph! Hard to beat, Dwight!

mitch4ging - Thank you Dennis for all of the kind comments. You are appreciated my friend.

I hope the name is not onomatopoeic.

Dennis, thanks for the kind words my friend!

 

[Prester John]

I know it's Monday, but it's going to be a great day, Guardians!

 

[LiveJim]

I know it's Monday, but it's going to be a great day, Guardians!

Just one word....Awesome!

Don't know if this would qualify, but do love a Bacon, Egg and Chip Butty.

Everyone likes a bacon, egg and chips butty!

They look delicious! I'm beginning to think Texas is the capital of fine food.

What a great cap lifter. I've got half-a-dozen antique ones myself.

All that previous talk of hair cuts and razors reminded me of my youth when my Dad would cut my hair with an old electric clippers. I swear it pulled out more hair than it cut.

That's not a hair cut. It's a pluck.
That's a magnificent pair; the razor is fantastic. I have my grandad's razor somewhere but it's nowhere near as fine as that example.

David theirs a likeness

LOL Dave! I'd give my left arm to have even a fraction of the suave ole' Telly had.

Either look great to me! Great looking Helping Horn!


My parting shot...

Thanks Dennis. What an unusual patina you've managed there.

I know it's Monday, but it's going to be a great day, Guardians!

Sounds like you've got an adventure lined up for your Monday. Great stag you have there.

 

[Jack Black]

Morning Guardians, I'm very pushed for time this morning, but hoping to catch up later in the day. Hope everyone's week gets off to a good start. Starting my week with some Rosewood

 

[Half/Stop]

Good morning Guardians!
