Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Finally got outside to snap a quick picture for today...

Terrific trio John

How about an English style tweed cap?
With the "Lambsfoot Logo" embroidered on the side or back, it would also be a great way to display the pins

OG

Nice idea OG, I paid about $50 for my Harris Tweed cap, but cheaper ones are certainly available, and they are also available in a huge variety of fabrics. I see cotton ones (waxed and unwaxed) selling for about $7 A few years ago, Ilkley Brewery gave away hundreds of tweed caps with their logo embroidered on the back, so I guess they didn't cost that much. They looked really good

Beautiful pic of that gorgeous knife

I think I'd have to pass on that style of hat.

You could wear it back to front like Samuel L Jackson does with his Kangol caps John!

Well, it happened!! I received a beautiful Lambsfoot from Charlies Waynorth Cutlery I just had to post something real quick just because.
Thank you so much, Charlie! for all the work you put into making this happen.

Congratulations Dave, it looks great

Thank you, Jack, once the Barlows arrive I will be one happy content boy until 2020

 

[Jack Black]

Great pictures, Jack. Looks like you had an enjoyable day.

I did thanks John, nice to have some sunshine and warm weather here

Nice work Barry

^ Why does it have to be a scowling face, I wonder? Can it, at least, look contented

It's thinking like that that killed :grumpy: !

What about a stove pipe hat? It would match the stove pipe kick....

MAIL CALL
As many others have already said, absolutely stunning.
Charlie, you've outdone yourself and GEC has shown they are still able to manufacture an outstanding product...when they put effort into it (not always the case lately, in my experience). And thank you, Barry.
Couldn't be more pleased with the outstanding jigging and no crud came out when I flushed it. No gaps whatsoever. The etching is aligned perfectly. It could be a tad sharper (just my preference) but a light honing should take care of that very easily as it is evenly ground - no issues there.
I'm almost floating on air! I'm still awaiting an Ebony and when it arrives, I'm sure I'll be so high up in the clouds you'll need to shout from a ladder for you words to reach me
As far as I'm concerned, 2019 is unquestionably the Year of the Lambsfoot
OG
Oh yeah, it fits nicely in a Tweed slip should you have one lying around

Congratulations OG, I was grinning on your behalf reading that, looks fantastic No crud though, you wuz robbed!

How about a red, white and blue tartan, for the Union Jack's colors?

We have our own flag in Yorkshire my friend

LOL! That is great John!

Superb pic Ron I might have to filch that one for my desktop if you don't mind

 

[Jack Black]

Having said that, my preference(as if anybody cared, lol) is a simple black t with the Guardian sig line.

Jack Black - Rest up Buddy. Great pics of tasty views, Lambsfoot knives, and food and drink.

That'd work for me too! I think I still have a Jack Black Knives T-shirt somewhere, I'll have to drag it out for a photo op!

Thank you very much Harvey, that's a great photo

Steve, have you been reading this thread? lol

...

Jack, "interesting finds at the market" sounds intriguing.
Great shots of your HH barlows!

LOL! Thank you Mark, I'll try and get some pics

Nicely enjoyed day, Jack!! I feel like I went with you!! Your knives look loved and content!!

Thanks Charlie, I wish you could have gone with me

We could just agree on the artwork, and I will send it to anybody wanting to have it copied onto pins, hats, sweatshirts or scarves if you want to take it on at a local shop. Many towns have shops that do embroidery on the CNC sewing machines as well as heat transfer for shirts.

That's perhaps a better idea than endlessly discussing the details here

Not a single beer until 9:30?! They are going to run you out of town if the locals hear of this.
I see a roofing hammer in your future, my friend.
I see now, thaaaat kind of "set". I can totally see how you were unable to resist grabbing that one.




Is that some patina I see?
Hope you and your Dad have a great visit.


Lambsfoot + Barlow = one heck of a work knife.


I don't think I will ever be able to come close to your multi quote skills, GT.



Not a bad start at all.




Sounds like you had a fine day out and about.
What issue of Knife Magazine is your article about Barlows in? I got the digital subscription so I can geed the back issues online.

Lambsfoot and tools theme.

I think I made up for it last night Kevin! Yes, I think I might treat myself to that roofing hammer if it is there next week! Though, I've just remembered I bought a miner's hammer a few years back, and regularly trip over it

I need to spend some time on that website myself! The Barlow article was in the July 2018 issue

Cool pic

 

[Jack Black]

I'm just elated to have a Waynorth branded Lambfoot knife! Huge congrats, Charlie!
Flawless design and execution, as anticipated.
The best Ebony I've ever seen.
What an absolute treasure.



To the gentleman who made this available to me, Thank you, sir..
This knife is VERY special to me <understatement and will never leave my grubby mitts.

Congratulations Mark, that ebony is gorgeous

A well-done pin is a great idea no fuss no muss you can pin it on a vest or hat of your choice.

And we already have those!

Perhaps just the faint beginnings of patina.

I suspect that is a substantial understatement!

Got some work in with the CC today.

Cool pic

Very nice Salty

Oh, but they're great in the winter, John.

I miss my flat-cap when it gets too hot to wear it

I LOVE the scowling face! No placid lambs for me!

Too right!

I know eh...

But CSU are literally the Rams.

What gorgeous Photos being shown on the Thread- of stunning Knives!

Paul Hilborn my friend- you are most welcome, you are so extremely generous, and you seem to forget just how many things you do for a lot of people my friend...

Speaking of Stunning - Jacks gift to me- This Ashleys Choice stunned me- and for good reasons- what a beautiful Knife this is, the Stag is just beautiful, the size of the Knife is slightly smaller than the usual Guardians- and it is all in all perfect!
I have been struck down with the Bot...the usual change of climate thing that happens and strikes you down so I went downstairs to sit in the Sun and took a few Cell phone shots....

Here is a rememberance Stone we have in the Garden for my first boy- Luke - he was a beautiful big Rotty and just a lovely friend, he left me at 14 & 1/2 years old and I still miss him to this day....

Another Remembrance Stone of my 2nd friend- Murphy, he had to be put down at 2 & 1/2 because of a Cancer Tumor in his eye orbit of his Skull- devastating to loose li'l Murph but so glad we had beautiful wee Murph in our lives...

I thought this was quite neat the beautiful Snakewood blending in with the Rust on a Patina'd Bird Garden Ornament ........

After this I went down and got my usual Coffe and I thought I would treat myself to an Omelette this Morning....

Those ACs came out nice I think, and were the least trouble of all the ones I've commissioned Sorry for the loss of your pals my friend, I hope you're feeling better soon THat looks like a nice healthy breakfast

Here’s a quick pic, showing that fine Lambsfoot pocketknives are not the only quality handtools still being made in Sheffield:

...

I’d kinda promised myself no more ebony knives, and to just enjoy the ones I already have, but you guys aren’t making it easy with those wonderful photos of your stunning Waynorth lambsfoots!

Hmmm, regarding the hat... I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but are American baseball caps even worn much in the home of the Lambsfoot and the Yorkshire flat cap?

The only ones I remember seeing in England were on the crackheads hanging around Arundel Gate, just ‘round the corner from the fabled Norfolk St in Sheffield, who I had to exchange a bit of ‘street banter’ with, whenever I walked past!

Kevin @flatblackcapo - I like your suggestions, my friend, and I’m sending you a membership card forthwith!

I do like the badges/pins, which you can just put on anything.

View attachment 1153199

Ok, I don’t wear hats much anyway, so I’ll just bow out now.

Barry, you’ve been hiding your light under a bushel, my friend. You’re a dab hand with a pen.

Great post packed with amazing pics Chin I love the T-shirt, and that's a nice collection of pins my friend

There is something very calming and therapeutic about knives and tools. I am sure there are many of you out there who like me can while away the time in a hardware-tool shop. Quiet often if i have to go somewhere and i know there is a hardware store nearby, i will leave early to browse in the store before i have to be wherever i am going. Anything to do with bespoke handmade craftsmanship i just really enjoy.

Spot on

 

[Jack Black]

Evening all!
Like GT and others have commented on, due to a series of unfortunate events, I have fallen hopelessly behind. My hope is to catch up tomorrow, as there are so many wonderful posts I would like to comment on. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I hope you're doing OK Dennis, and that we'll see more of you soon That's a great pic of your Hartshead Barlow

Today me and my family had a blast!! We took the quick drive up "the hill" to Lake Tahoe and hung out at Nevada Beach and had lunch. My son was brave enough to take a quick dip into Lake Tahoe's notoriously cold water. I snuck in a quick nap too. After Tahoe on the way home, we stopped by Echo lake to take in the scenery. What a beautiful alpine lake!

The two blades I took with me.

My wife wanted to try these hard seltzers out, I was curious as well. They weren't terrible, but seltzers are not my thing.

Beauty shot of the new Waynorth Ebony.

My son standing on the dam at Echo Lake.

Here is the Echo with the little marina. It is ran by our water district and supplies parts of the county with this crystal clear water.

Many thanks for taking us along Taylor, those are fantastic pics, looks like a wonderful day

Flat cap I say.

I know exactly what you mean. They are family. They are precious. I love them.

Had a great day. Happy birthday Jaxon Trace.View attachment 1153247

Smashing pic Dwight, glad you had a great day It looks like Jaxon did too

Oh he was only modeling the barlow. Don't think he's ready for real knives yet.
edit- besides that, I ain't that generous.

 

[dc50]

And we already have those!

lol, so we do!

 

[Jack Black]

Morning Guardians, it's a couple of minutes before noon here, and after 3 1/2 hours, I finally caught up! I hope that everyone is having a fantastic weekend, and enjoy your Sunday folks

Lovely Damascus Jack. The English Civil War, interesting, the History of England must fill a library wall to wall.

 

[Jack Black]

Hearing Ry Cooder's version of this old Jim Reeves song on the radio just now brought back happy memories of singing it to my young daughters, coming back from a trip to the seaside nigh on 30 years ago We were on community centre coach trip my mother has organised, and as my corny singing got louder, the whole coach joined in with gusto!

Don't spoil the ending Jer, I haven't read it yet!
