Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Received this morning, my Stag Hartshead Barlow. Thanks Jack

Thank you my friend I really like the stag on this one, reminds me of Charlie @waynorth 's soup-bone Great pic

Thanks, Jack! unfortunately, the video won't play in my country.

I get that sometimes with video links posted here Dave, I think it's a copyright/licensing issue. Maybe this live version will play

Jack I got the idea to carry that old opener because of the ones you post!

Thanks Taylor, I'm flattered

Grats! Looks like it was well worth the wait. Very nice pic!

Good Morning Guardians
Yesterday was a long and hot day at the DCI event. My son't corps won the Open Class again, and their World Class corps took second. Their World Class corps has won 18 World titles. If you have never seen a DCI event, it's amazing and loud... It's marching band on steroids!!!

I'll post my usual Lambsfoot picture and I will also add a (rough) clip of the Blue Devils A Corps in case you want to check it out.



Blue Devils A Corps...

And just for fun, my son's B Corps performance...

Very nice pic of your Hartshead Mega grats to your son! Well done
Aren't the Blue Devils based in Concord? Must be a heck of a drive to get him to practice

Put my AC in the pocket today

Have a good one,
OG

Thank you John! A big and congratulations to your son! I know how proud you are my friend!


As I stated in the totin thread, beautiful stag Harvey!


Thanks Jack! It doesn’t have any bark, but it has bite, and a certain character of its own!

Thank you kindly, Ron, twice.

@Ironwood Chris congratulations on that gorgeous Hartshead Barlow.

Jack Black Thank you for the response, great view of your Rosewood from the bridge.

Thank you OG. Your AC is stunning.

Thank you OG. Your AC is stunning.

Thank you, Harvey. Actually, it's at the top of my favorites list! Love the way it fits my hand and it slices like a banshee (whatever that means )

Fantastic!! I really enjoy seeing your wife's amazing paintings Wonderful photo

Thank you, OG! your AC has nice deep furrows and rich color.

 

[Fodderwing]

A beauty as always, Dwight.

Thank you John. I enjoyed viewing the band competition. Very cool.

Aw, great pic Dwight My face is starting to hurt from grinning!

Thank you my friend!.

Smashing stag Dwight, there seems to be a real variety on the Barlows

That stag has some great character Dwight, excellent pic my friend

Much obliged Jack.

Thanks Dwight! A beautiful Lambsfoot my friend!

Thank you Ron.

I keep wondering, did you ever try to count the rings?

I'd have to say nope. Gorgeous AC OG.

@Ironwood Chris - That is a fantastic stag, very soup bone - ish!

 

[Campbellclanman]

OG, That Ashley's Choice is one great looking Knife!!!

Now, that's some character on that one! Congrats on its arrival.

Good day, folks! Had to get myself caught up here (no small task).

I had a rather busy weekend. I went and saw Uriah Heep and Judas Priest in concert on Saturday. Yes, I am a bit of a metal head, but to put it in perspective, both bands have members that are in their 60s and 70s and have been making music for many decades. Uriah Heep can still rock hard and of course Rob Halford from Priest can really belt it out still.

Yesterday, I began work on building a pergola. We've been wanting a nice outdoor sitting area with a fire pit and I broke ground on it yesterday. My brother and I are manhandling the augur. I am the big guy on the left and with all of this talk of barber shops and haircuts, I think I have enough hair for the lot of you combined...

My garden is really taking off and soon I should have zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other things.

That's a great pic Dylan, and I love the stag on your AC

Good lookin' AC, fine pic

Thank you, fellas!


I am eagerly anticipating some worthy additions to this burgeoning family (I think I need to update the pic, it is missing some).

More work for the Hartshead. First, it helped prepare my breakfast:

Full disclosure: I try to avoid having to use my pocket knife for cutting on plates, so the Hartshead Barlow helped slice the sausage and kale during prep time and then posed with the finished dish before being tucked away in my pocket while a standard table setting knife took over.

Afterwards, it was time to work on my favorite kind of lambsfoot math:

It's presented as an addition problem above, but I tend to think of it more as a fraction reduction problem: as in "let's reduce this pile of cardboard to a faction of its size so that it fits in the recycling bin."

The nice thing about having a shaving sharp blade is that it makes quick work of those plastic pillows they use for padding. I put my foot on one end of the strip, hold the other end up high in my left hand, then make a clean slice through the set from low to high, releasing the air in each as I go. It's super quick, but maybe not as fun as popping them.

LOL! When I was a kid, the only hair-cut style pics I remember seeing were 'Crew-cut' and 'Tony Curtis'! I'm not sure who had the 'Tony Curtis' (other than Tony Curtis obviously). Most fellers had 'short back and sides', while us young kids would go and ask for 'just a trim', and come out having to wear a hat for a week! Me and my best pal used to alternate haircuts, just so we could laugh at each other, and make 'Kojak' and 'Yul Bryner' jokes!

Wow Dylan, I'm amazed Uriah Heep are still going! That is a great pic of you and your brother my friend, you should get that framed Nice work, and what an absolutely incredible Lambsfoot collection, some fabulous knives there

Great pics Greg Yeah, I know what you mean about cutting on plates, not good for the plate or your knife edge, I avoid it when I can

LOL! Very clever I have to tell you though, that very few bits of packaging doesn't get recycled round at Grumble Towers, most of it goes back across the pond! The amount of packaging I've got through recently is frightening! I am finally starting to see my kitchen table again though

Cheers

Thank you John! A big and congratulations to your son! I know how proud you are my friend!

Thanks, Ron.

Great pic, Jack.

Another beuty hits the thread. Congrats.

Aren't the Blue Devils based in Concord? Must be a heck of a drive to get him to practice

Yes, they are in Concord.
We drive him down there on Tuesday mornings and pick him up on Sunday nights.
The rest of the week he stays with host families. They practice from 7:00am to 9:30pm.

I have a College Contour. It's been my hair style since the 60s.

My garden is really taking off and soon I should have zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other things.

Thank you, fellas!

You guys do good work. I'll hire you for my next project.
That's a very impressive Lambsfoot collection.

Nice to see a Hartshead doing some real work.

My boys (and I) say, "Thank you, Jack".

We are really enjoying them, they are actually really yummy.

This time the Lambsfoot Stag is hidden behind the Olive!

 

[Fixall]

This thread is too much. So many beautiful, BEAUTIFUL knives!.

I've held off as long as I possibly could, but the wait for the Waynorth Lamb's Foot has been unbearable so a couple weeks ago I put in an order for an A Wright and Son Lamb's Foot with a nice sway back in rosewood (I also just got the PayPal invoice for my Waynorth Lamb's Foot). I can't wait!

Very cool pic Dylan and yeah I'd say you and your brother both have more hair than i've ever had. Great start on your pergola! Love that creek running so close to your deck. Beautiful place.

Wowza what a glorious line up.

My boys (and I) say, "Thank you, Jack"

Fine looking young men John!
