Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Smashing pic John, hope you had a great day

Thank you, Jack
It was a wonderful day. We went to see the new Spider-Man movie, which was excellent. Then we had a huge meal with BBQ rib eye and crab. Finally, we watched the fireworks show on television. Very relaxing day.

Thank you, Jack, have a great day!

I really like that picture, Dave. Very well represented.

My wife and I arrived home from NYC late Tuesday night. We'd taken the train down to see the "Play it Loud" exhibit at the MET, catch a Broadway show, meet some relatives visiting from Santa Barbara, and eat some good food (and walk 30 miles in the 5 days we were there!).

We were welcomed home by a new Granddaughter, born the afternoon of July 2nd. Mom and baby are both fine and dandy! The little one surprised us, as she wasn't due for another 9 days.

I also found a great surprise in my mailbox! A Stag Heartshead Barlow, straight from Jack Black's kitchen table! Wow! What an awesome knife, Jack! A. Wright and Sons hit a grand slam on this one, with your help I'm sure. This one might just have my granddaughter's name on it!

Thank you my friend across the pond!

Congratulations Gary on your new addition to the family! Also on the beautiful new Hartshead Barlow from Jack.

Mornin' everyone!

Goodies from England:

Thanks, Jack!

Another beauty Vince! Nice etch!

Your AC is Awfully Cute, Dwight

Thanks GT.

Man Jack, take 3 for this week

Man Jack is a sophisticated Gent.

Superb pic of what I'd consider one of GEC's top five knives ever, Dwight! (I haven't actually sat down to make a list of my favorite GECs, so that jigged bone Waynorth lambsfoot may rank higher than top five.)

I agree GT. A future icon.

The handles are Bexoid , though in Sheffield, they apply that name to any form of dark plastic.

Jack how far back does this Bexoid go?

Thank you, Jack, have a great day!

Gorgeous Hartshead Dave!!!

 

[Fodderwing]

Good morning Guardians. Have a great weekend.

Jack how far back does this Bexoid go?

In Sheffield, it is most commonly associated with WW2 era Army Clasp Knives, but if you click on the link it has a little more history

You too my friend, that is a great pic

Thanks Greg, yeah, we'll have to see, I'd be surprised if the temper hasn't been affected The handles are Bexoid , though in Sheffield, they apply that name to any form of dark plastic. I was surprised to get the opener for just a couple of quid, as Tetley's stuff usually sells at a premium in and around Leeds. I took this pic when the brewery was being demolished.

Today, they have turned the old brewery offices into an art gallery.

Tetley is a brewery? I've heard of Tetley Tea. Any relation?

Really?! Wonder if I know them!

Looking at the final results: Adam Moran, England's #1 eater, ate 28.5. Not a bad showing, middle of the pack. (Joey Chestnut ate 71)


The Texas Curmudgeon 4th of July report: I rode along with a couple friends who met up with a larger group in a small town/suburb outside of Austin. It was fantastic! Just like I remember as a kid. We picnicked at a little park with a pond (which had a little island in the middle full of egrets who all flew up in spectacular fashion when the fireworks started) I kept expecting the place to fill up with people, but there were just a dozen or so groups like ours spread a comfortable distance apart.

Lambsfoot photo content: I take such care to compose a nice shot, but sometimes you don't have much time until someone comes along to help.

Have a great weekend, Guardians!

Not so far as I know, though these days, I'd rather drink the tea than the beer (which is now pretty awful)

I've never heard of him, but eating competitions aren't big here. 71 sounds very impressive!

It sounds like your 4th July turned out pretty good Rachel

Nice pics

Sorry to sound ignorant, where does/did one get one of the 'real lambsfoot knife' models I've seen cropping up on the threads?

On the contrary, wanting to know where to get a real lamb foot knife is a sign of higher intelligence. By following the link in the very first post of this Lambsfoot Guarden of Eden, will bring you to the answers you seek. On these pages, “never is heard a discouraging word,” or talk of the buying process, or display of any other knife besides the Lambsfoot. Hope this helps.

Excellent pics Harvey





That's fascinating isn't it? Thanks for the pic @Frailer and for finding those links Greg



Really?! Wonder if I know them!



Many congratulations on your new Granddaughter Gary, that is great news I'm glad the Barlow made it OK. Thanks, once again for all you do here my friend



Great stuff pal



Cool pic Dave



Looks like some great fare there my friend!



Thanks for sharing those pics OG



LOL! Ace pic Greg

Thank you Jack. Cool stuff from Barry. Lovely chapeau and wonderful images and fine Barlow. Have a great weekend.

A akaMatt nice dramatic image of your Waynorth.

Good Morning Guardians. Enjoy your long weekend.

Carried this all day yesterday. Helped me cut open packaging for fire works. We had a "blast"!

Now we are on our way to Santa Cruz!!!

 

[Prester John]

Thank you Vince, I hope you had a great 4th my friend

I did, Jack, thank you.

Glad we made it in the end Vince

It's a truly wonderful knife. And very easy to pinch open. As a matter of fact, so is the rosewood. The ironwood is doable, but it does have a stouter spring, so I usually use the nail nick. I love the large nail nicks. Ashley's Choice is the only one I can't pinch open. Can't get enough purchase of the blade. I have to use the nail nick, and I have to be very careful, or I will need to use more of my fingertip bandages!
Anyway, the Barlow is in my pocket, and will accompany me on my errands today.

Sorry to sound ignorant, where does/did one get one of the 'real lambsfoot knife' models I've seen cropping up on the threads?

I see Harvey has already responded. I will add that for a nominal fee you can become a paid member and be able to send private messages to other members, like Jack Black or @waynorth.

Thank you, Jack, have a great day!

As Jack would say, "Smashing pic, Dave!" Beauty, eh?

Thanks, Dwight. Would you like to see my etchings?

Have a great day, Guardians!

Was a late night for me. This AM I finished reading though the posts to get sort of caught up and commented on a few.
To all Guardians... the many wonderful photos and comments make this thread real special, especially the ones for the Fouth of July. I submit my canon picture and my Waynorth jigged lambsfoot...I do have an ebony on the way and will get photos of the pair when it arrives
Have a great, safe weekend Guardians!

Just when I think I was getting the hang of this multi quote thing, I typed all my replies....and they were good and witty too.
I guess I took too long and it signed me out and ...gone.
Oh well, I will try again later.

There seems to be a lot of that going on lately Kevin Cool pic my friend

I'm thinking that we're just going to have to live with the BF software and it's quirks

I've got two dogs and two cats, but I think it's only the lab that freaks out with the fireworks.

Sorry about your lab being freaked by fireworks, gundog Dutch thinks there has to be a bird down somewhere!

I stumbled across this a few days ago. A purveyor of fine woodworking tools is selling a Sloyd knife styled after an example illustrated in the 1892 edition of “The Teacher’s Hand-book of Slöjd” by Otto Salomon.

Look familiar?

Thanks for posting, that is a wonderful piece, I like it.

Ah, my favorite tea pot, Jeff, I never tire of seeing it!

Your lambsfoot pair looks great, Preston!
I'll try to remember to get a couple of better yucca shots for you.

Thanks, Gary!

Nice pic. Every time I see those stag HH barlows, I think maybe I should... they all look amazing.

Thanks, you should, they have all been just wonderful, handsome lambs!

Hope he had a great birthday Preston That's interesting about the shammy-lure, I've never heard of that before

Thanks, it was very nice. Some rain and wind so our annual croquet game was shortened. Grilled elk(his from last year) burgers, and then fireworks!

Sorry, I simply did not notice that "bexoid" was a link. So one more question re. bexoid. Bexoid (being cellulose acetate) and not celluloid, is it stable (as in off gassing)?

You too my friend, that is a great pic

Thank you Jack.

Thank you Jack. Cool stuff from Barry. Lovely chapeau and wonderful images and fine Barlow. Have a great weekend.

A akaMatt nice dramatic image of your Waynorth.

Good Morning Guardians. Enjoy your long weekend.

Get thee behind me oh purveyor of perniciously perilous pastry of purgatory... ............................... nice cutlery

Great picture, Dwight.

gracias hombre mid

Thanks, Dwight. Would you like to see my etchings?

That has to be the most crisp and crystal clear etch I've ever beheld!

I submit my canon picture and my Waynorth jigged lambsfoot

Very cool image and knife Preston. Love these canon shots. (no pun)

Very nice pic - at first glance it almost looks like it has a 2nd serrated blade
Congrats to all on the new Granddaughter

...
Hope you got some sleep OG, thanks for the tunes, and have a great weekend yourself my friend
I also received a fantastic gift package from Barry @gunstockjack yesterday, which among other things, contained the coolest of caps Barry, I'm wearing it now, and it will be a very treasured possession Thank you so much my friend
Lots to do today, and I'm about to head into town, but I wanted to call in a wish everyone a great day ...

Thank you, Jack. I bet you drew a quizzical look or two with your new ball cap on your head

Beautiful pic, José

Thank you, Jack, have a great day!

Hope you have a great weekend, too! Sounds like you had a great 4th. Nice pic(s).
I watched the contest also. Folks might not realize that the competitors are on a 10 minute clock, which makes the feat of eating 71 even more astonishing! The defending women's champion, Miki Sudo ate 31!

Good Morning Guardians. Enjoy your long weekend.

Great, now I'm hungry Nice pic
