That looks like a page out of the barber's text book when I went to barber school.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)
Congratulations, Barry. Your two Barlow’s are Primo examples.Jack, you worked so hard on this project you deserve high praise!!! The stag is wonderful on my example as is the rosewood; very pleasing!
ABSOLUTELYI always thought it was "Now go, cat, go!"
Welcome to the Guardians. Now you understand what it's all about.Apparently shipping from the U.K. is a bit faster than I expected. I just checked the mail and had a nice little surprise waiting for me. The A Wright and Son sway back ("shaped") Lamb's Foot came in!
I find the covers/scales to be very attractive (so rich!) and the fit & finish is great. This DOES NOT look or feel like a $35 knife. I'm a little taken aback to be honest. I was expecting something with similar build quality as an Opinel at this price point, but this seems much closer in quality to Case and Buck's offerings. Phenomenal value.
Thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread, it's really opened my eyes! I'm an absolute fanatic for sway backs, wharncliffes, and carbon steel, so I feel like this should have clicked with me much sooner, lol. I also just received an email that my Waynorth Lamb's Foot shipped today! It's been a good day.
Thanks Jack, I'll be checking in when I canGreat to see you here Preston, lovely pic. I hope that you and Dutch are having a fantastic weekend
Thanks John!It's a cool looking plant though, and of course the Lamb is beautiful.
I'm liking all these barber stories.
I with you guys...but not going to post a picturehave the same haircut.
OG, interesting information, thanks. Still not going cuddle up to one anytime soon. I've read of other uses. What your referring to is the root, right?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
Beautiful examples! So many awesome lambfoot knives going on right now
Thanks Taylor.
Thank you OG.
Thank you Jack. What a time indeed!Fantastic Dwight, what a time this is for the Lambsfoot pattern

Gorgeous stag there Barry! A fine set of barlows.Received today and opened with relish! Fantastic knives and treats!
Thank you Jack!!!!
Just like Taylor said my friend I always get a big smile when I see your posts. Thanks GT!Van Allen belts Envelop Venus, Dwight, when I see that Big Valley on your stag Hartshead Barlow!
Thanks buddy.
That really is a beautiful rosewood.
Thank you Darren.
Thanks a bunch Greg. Both of these are flawless. The jigged bone has a slightly stronger pull than the ebony. Perfectly made.

Absolutely beautiful
GRATS Guess I might have completely missed out 
I don't know if I'm into it, but I remember when I was a little kid, they used to show the marching bands on TV during college football halftime. Much better than nowadays, with a dozen commercials, and a row of former football players babbling about what you just watched in the first half.They certainly are fun to watch, if you're in to those kinds of things.
Did someone say "socks on a cat?"In the beginning, I broke quite a few as well, after making 500lbs or so it's like putting socks on a cat.
I do that, too! It's very satisfying, the only thing more fun to do with those packing pillows is to duct tape them to the top of your buddy's tires.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.
Thank you for the good wishes.Dark Matter and Dog Star Dust, Rachel, what a dusky and dependable lambsfoot you have!
Wow awesome package!It's too dark for good pictures, but a box of treats and treasures arrived today! I'm overwhelmed!
Thanks you, Jack!
