Over the past few years, I’ve started my day by opening this thread. Indeed, over the past few months, I’ve done so out of necessity, even getting up early, so that I can stay caught up with it. It’s usually a nice way to start the day, but I didn’t think that when I logged on today. I’ve got a lot on this week, and I really would have preferred to have started it in a better way. All of us are grown-ups here, and with the exception of Gary (@Peregrin), who posts here from time to time, we’re all ordinary posters, and there’s nothing most of us dislike more than having to pull up other members about the contents of their posts. Personally, I more than dislike it, it makes me angry to have to do so. We’ve had some great off-topic discussions here in the past, but they can’t be the focus of the thread, otherwise one day, the thread will be locked and/or half the posts will have been moved to the Lounge. If you want to see this thread continue, please rein in your off-topic posts, and post more Lambsfoot content. I’m getting way past tired of seeing patterns that aren’t Lambsfoot knives posted here, so please let’s not see any more of it (and please think twice before you ‘like’ such posts) If you have not already done so, please go and read this, and if you think you have posts which need to be edited, please edit them soon.

One more thing, I know I’m as much to blame for this as anyone, but I think the anti-vegan posts are getting out of hand. I want people to feel welcome here, irrespective of their diet, so long as they want to post about the Lambsfoot pattern.

Thank you to those who post here responsibly, and try to maintain the integrity of the thread (a collective responsibility). I don’t want to have to close this thread, but things have got to improve here.

Thank you Charlie, I'm afraid all the postie left me was a Customs Payment letter I'll be sure to pass on your best

Fascinating I wonder if the notches on Sandy Irvine's axe were carved with a Lambsfoot, either Mallory's, or perhaps even his own? I bought a pile of books on the ill-fated expedition six months back, and am now struggling to find them!

Thank you! It's great to hear that your 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot is being put to good use

Welcome to the thread Kelly, thank you Dwight for doing your bit, and to Kelly for editing your post. Be nice if we could get rid of that thumbnail, and see your lovely Lambsfoot Kelly

Beautiful knives gents

Thank you Charlie, let's see if we can get rid of those thumb-nails too

Thanks Vince, when Jack woke up he wasn't at all happy

I try to be Harvey, I think everyone has to be treated equally here, even if new posters have more of an excuse I am grateful that we now seem to be getting back on track, but am not pleased to have had my day occupied in the way it has been

That's some nice stag Vince, deservedly so

You have nothing to apologise for Jer

You are the Master of the Multi-Quote GT! You should see Stan's arms! Nice to see the return of your Union Jack

Nice 'top-shot' Mark, I'll have to take one of mine

I shame to HAVE to say it Mark, particularly repeatedly. I very dislike the commercialisation of this sub-forum, while hearing grown men whining because they didn't get this or that knife absolutely horrifies me. I hope that, together, we can at least keep this thread non-commercial in nature

Good attitude and great work Glenn. You have done a great job of that Slater I'll be passing their old works tomorrow

 

A timely link to an excellent post Greg, I doubt that Chin has ever made one here that isn't a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read

I couldn't agree with you more about our hard-working mods Preston Nice not to give them extra work

Cool pic

What a smasher

 

Thanks Jeff, late afternoon here now, and I'm hoping I can go and get something to eat soon before I go and get my stuff together for my trip over to Sheffield tomorrow. A fine-looking pair of Lambsfoot knives there my friend

Excellent pics Dave

Thank you Ed, how are you finding the pattern, that's a great crisp pic of one of Charlie's finest

Me too!
