Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

HC I didn't know the Spam Museum was so close to where I lived for a time on the Lake of the Woods Ontario. I'm heartbroken I missed Nirvana.

Gonna have to try that. Got some in the ice box now. I usually just fry a slice with two eggs.

Vince, it's my Bachelor Spam Sandwich I break out the eggs on special occasions.

So I'll go make Spam on toast instead.

Food of the God's!!
Oh and Happy Canada Day for yesterday.

I think it was Anthony Burgess who said the industrial revolution couldn't have happened without the gin mills and opium dens. Now we're not allowed even that.

Depends where you live. In most of our inner cities you'll still find both.
Cool loco light btw!

Good thing, too. Took a walk yesterday and had to battle a fantastic beast!

Everything's just more fierce in Texas innit.

The good folks down the road about 50 miles appreciate what you do for the local economy Dave!

Good day Guardians!

Is that beast an aloe vera plant? Did it keep your barlow?

Some sort of agave, I believe. I got my barlow back without too much effort.

I’m hoping to fully catch up later today, but couldn’t resist a quick comment on this:



Looking good!

Setting up personally preferred edge -> more use -> more patina.
All of those things -> more delight.

I agree. My edges aren't always pretty, but will do the job.

Everything's just more fierce in Texas innit.

It's true!

Carrying these two....can't keep em out of the pocket.

Got some work to do.....

Jack, that's something I always wanted to do! But never got round to doing. You may like to hear that Cedric Robinson retired in April.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...ime-run-out-for-queens-guide-to-morecambe-bay

He's also just published his latest book.
'Sands of Time-Following in the footsteps of Cedric Robinson on Morecambe Bay'.

Blimey, he had a good run! I did it in 1994, and he was no spring chicken then!

Very topical for us in the UK at the minute.

Great pic David

Thank you, Jack, at his age it's always a mystery as to what he will be like as a grown young man.

Great photos Duncan of our gentle giant.

Dennis now that I'm retired I have a strict nap time it starts at 1 PM daily and lasts until I wake up.

He does doesn't he that's why I volunteered to pay for Taekwon-do lessons to focus some of that energy into something that may serve him later in life if needed.

Thank you my friend,



I love pie!! alas there's no pie in my pantry So I'll go make Spam on toast instead.

With you as a graddad, I'm sure he'll turn out just fine Dave

I visit Bedlam fairly regularly!

(Yes, that is THE Bedlam!)

We always just called them shammies. I don't think I knew they were leather for quite a while.

I find, if I don't slip in a razor blade before I peen, I get them too tight. I guess I don't have a very light touch.

I think it was Anthony Burgess who said the industrial revolution couldn't have happened without the gin mills and opium dens. Now we're not allowed even that.
Well, I have to admit we're still allowed the gin.

Yes indeed

I had a pleasant visit with Dad. His old knees are bad, so we didn't do a lot except sit and visit with various friends and go out to eat a lot. I think I gain a few pounds, so I'll get some walking in this week. (My mother has been vegan for 30 years and runs up four flights of stairs daily, my dad likes to eat pastries. I aim to find a middle ground halfway between, and hope I'll be alright when I'm in my eighties. )

Finally got a chance to sharpen up the new Lambsfoot this weekend:

Good thing, too. Took a walk yesterday and had to battle a fantastic beast!

Glad to hear you had a good visit Rachel Your mother was ahead of her time Nice edge, but what the....?!

Great to see the master at his craft Duncan! Thanks!

Thank you Dennis. It's a conch we picked up beach combing on Ocracoke.

Way cool image Dennis.

I am always drawn to old measuring tools also Jack. Found one yesterday in an antique mall but managed to walk away. But now it's on my mind again... Great image of your barlow.

Thanks Dennis! Mr 'Point and Shoot'!

Thanks buddy

Good morning, Jack. Thanks.

Morning John, hope you've had a good day Think I might have lost a few of my quotes

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure the new Lamb would be able to keep up with the rigors of my day to day use...

... but I was pleasantly surprised with her inaugural run! That's one tough knife!

 

[Jack Black]

Switched back to Damascus for today!

NICE Ron

Good day Guardians!

Looking good Barry

Walking across Morecambe Sands every day must be good for you.

I visit Bedlam fairly regularly!

(Yes, that is THE Bedlam!)

I visit Bedlam a lot to. It's called work.
Good shot.

Titanic effort Dylan, well done, and thanks for bringing us those fabulous pics

Fine as wine Dylan

Beautiful pair, Dylan! Congrats!

Thank you, fellas. Always appreciated.

Great pics as usual, Dylan. That’s an epic read, my friend.

I’m glad to see you found a jet black ebony Lambsfoot, I recall your first ebony Wright (not the Guardians edition) was more of a chocolate colour.

Those two knives look amazing.

Thank you, Chin! The Ebony on these Waynorth knives is something special, isn't it? All the ones I have seen so far have been exquisite.

Honestly, I am having a hard time picking a favorite between the jigged bone and the ebony, they are both superb.

I was lucky enough to receive a Charlie’s lambsfoot. This was my first time handling a lambsfoot knife. I like the pattern so much, I just placed a order for a A. Wright lambsfoot with rosewood handles. I can’t wait to finally have a authentic English lambsfoot in my pocket. I must admit I’ve be quite jealous of the beautiful knives you all post!
