Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Pt-Luso]

Yay! My Hartshead Barlow came today!
Huge thanks to Jack!

Wonderful stag Dave!

 

[Jack Black]

Stunning pics, gentlemen! Those are two fine HH barlows!

And now I guess it's snack time here as well!

Thank you A fine choice

Thank you Charlie. Here’s the also great pile side.

Nice to see the pile side is just as good Dave

Just hanging out with my lambsfoot.

Interesting picture, Vince. Having been to the range today I immediately went from your HHB to the target in the background

I think it's a great read HC, I think I've read it through at least 3 times now Interesting thought. My brain is rather fatigued today, but off-hand, from what I recall reading, I'm not sure that trade was disrupted for very long after the Revolution. The Revolution was extremely popular in Sheffield, so much so that local newspaper editors were imprisoned, and supportive crowds charged by the local cavalry, sabres drawn. This song to Tom Paine was written by the cutler's favourite poet, Joseph Mather, and sung on innumerable occasions.

I think that trade was only really disrupted by the price hikes caused by the McKinley tariffs of 1890.



Thank you Harvey, that's a mouth-watering photo



The bolsters and liners are made from exactly the same steel as the blade Rachel, so they should patina in just the same way


Bon appetit Ed



It wasn't David That said, I think we could perhaps all assess how we post here, me included

That's a fine pic Hopefully we'll get a few in Sheffield tomorrow



You had me going for a minute there Barry! What an incredible item of furniture, and a great pic of your Lambsfoot

I had actually meant to carry some stag today, but as it was, I ended up with Rosewood in my pocket

I'll be carrying that one again tomorrow, along with some stag and Damascus

Carrying those two should ease some of the fatigue and frustration things have caused you in this thread. This is a great thread and I hope it runs the way you designed and planned it.

With that grouping Vince, I wouldn't worry about anyone pilfering the Harsthead

I wondered if anyone else would notice

It was a lot harder to move that metal than I thought it would be, that's for sure.
Now to the important stuff, meat pies, I think my only chance to get some here is to make them myself. Do you happen to know where to find a trusted meat pie recipe. I know, Google, but I don't know enough to know, If ya know what I mean.
Btw, my trade offer for pallets is still good.


Thanks, GT. As you could probably tell, that rosewood HHB has been my go to since it arrived. Something about the HHB just screams to be worked hard.

@Cambertree
Sorry for the late reply.
It took me awhile to find that Minor Threat album. The straight edge relation to that black sheep makes sense, Minor Threat was maybe the first straight edge punk bands to come on the scene. Back in the day ( around here ) the straight edge punks put a "X" on the back of each hand.

Have a good week Guardians!

Never herd of them before...

Sure do like that album cover

Mighty fitting brew for the thread today, Jack...enjoy!

Yay! My Hartshead Barlow came today!
Huge thanks to Jack!

Congrats, what a fine piece of stag for that HHB!
I love the look and feel of this ebony Waynorth lambfoot...

Thank you Preston, while this thread has turned into something quite different to what I had anticipated, who could have guessed that we'd be seeing such a wealth of great Lambsfoot knives available, or the interest in this fantastic pattern. As long as we still have Lambsfoot content here, I'm happy to see it continue, and hope it will

LOL! I hadn't thought of that Preston! I was just after some high ABV, and besides, I only have one beer in the house Perhaps just as well, as I have my meeting with David tomorrow That knife is a beauty my friend

 

[Jack Black]

Another day is drawing to a close at Grumble Towers, and I'm about to hit the hay. Before I do so though, I just want to leave you with this one thought Guardians...

Goodnight folks

My new and only lambs foot with coins- 1 Kopeks, Russia circa 1960s through 1980s.

 

[Frailer]

Almost a week elapsed between my waynorth Lambfoot’s delivery and my own arrival back from vacation. Given my high level of anticipation, I thought my initial exuberance might have been slightly colored, so I put it aside for a few days.

Today seemed like a good day to give it a formal test drive, and I am happy to report that I like it even more than I did initially (if that is possible).

I don’t know if the level of craftsmanship this knife displays is indicative of the entire run or if I was privileged to receive an especially fine example. I’ve previously poo-pooed the notion that the backspring of a slipjoint with a half-stop should be flush in all three positions, and I still think this isn’t necessarily indicative of quality, but I must be honest and admit that the fact this knife exhibits that feature makes me happy.

The knife’s unquestionable beauty is an added bonus.

Thanks again, Charlie for all the work required to make this project happen.

 

[cigarrodog]

That looks nice. Congratulations.

Thank you, and thanks for everything you have done. Relax and enjoy the day give us a report on the activities and of course pictures...I know you will!

Goodnight folks

Grumble Towers, love it...

Don't ask me I just like the mix of textures and the Kopeks are what I had.

The knife is superb!!!

Ray, that is a couple of wonderful photos and confirm what you have said, superb!

There have been many comments on the fit and finish of these Waynorth knives, all complementary and express the same thoughts you have. I have not seen one negative remark.

Tough returning to work after a long holiday weekend. BUT! New knife Monday’s ease the blues.

 

[cudgee]

Attention Jack Black, just curious, you said in a previous post that this thread has turned into something quite different to what you had anticipated. What were your initial thoughts and expectations?

 

[Prester John]

Interesting picture, Vince. Having been to the range today I immediately went from your HHB to the target in the background

Thanks, Preston. Usually carry a .38, but .357 Magnum and .45 ACP are more fun to shoot.

Interesting coincidence. This book has been on my reading list for a couple of years, and I finally started reading it today. It was right beside me when I saw this.

 

[gunstockjack]

I carry a 4 inch lamb foot. It's much lighter than my .45 ACP and does a much better job of sharpening my pencil!

 

[tmd_87]

Pocket full of good stuff

The whole run turned out very nice, Frailer! I have replaced one so the fellow wouldn't have to wait for a small repair, but that's it!! I asked for high quality for my first eponymous run, and was not disappointed . . . . . .not that GEC disappoints ever!! We are all fortunate with this one!!

Nice! A knifemaker recommended it recently so I thought I’d give it a look. Here’s to thought provoking knives and books.

Good Evening Guardians

Evening

 

[mitch4ging]

I've re-opened this thread to allow some of the posts above to be edited, but it has not been a very good start to my week More later

Jack

Mondays are bad enough, but a bad Monday is worse! No doubt, that since this place is full of top quality folks, it will iron out! If not, the rest of the villagers will revolt!

That dog pic made me laugh out loud.

Thanks for your interesting responses, Jack.
That photo of Stan Shaw's hands is amazing! He certainly has prominent veins, but I find his knuckles especially fascinating.

Yuk! That yucca definitely looks spikier and more hazardous than the "designer" version in my backyard!

Union Jack is my lambsfoot this week:

Great replys, Gary! Grand shot of UJ, GT!
Like Preston, I grew up with the yucca plants everywhere. In our youth, we would find good size poles, get on our horses and joust!
Cactus, on the other hand, getting thrown off a horse, landing in one....still have bad dreams of that!

Very cool dog!, but he does seem to be drawn to your Lambsfoot! But he does have good taste!

Nice shot, Mark! Looks like it will fill your hand nicely!

Good morning, Jack.
Have a good day, friend.

Well put! And well photographed!

Well, I missed out on Charlie's great Lambsfoot SFO. What's a guy to do? I went out and found this Venture online.
View attachment 1157808

wow, well done! Gorgeous!

Glad you can see that, wasn't sure it come out in the photo.
What an epic post, Gary...don't know how you got all those quotes in there. BF tells me that I'm over the limit of 10,000 characters frequently. You must have a magic over-ride key!


I carry and Lambsfoot because...

...it makes everything 'just ducky'


Nice job, neat that you have those kind of skills!

Nicely worded, Preston!
Your photo "quacked" me up!(ok, I went for the low hanging fruit ). But great Team photo, Ducks and Lambs!

Good morning, Guardians!

Nice shot, Matt!

Good Morning Guardians

Another nice one, John! Great colors all around!

I hope all of you Guardians have a great day!

You know what they say...when in Roma! A hardy Lamb and a hardy breakfast!

Good morning, Guardians, and Jack, I'm fervently hoping yours improves.

LAMBSFOOT CONTENT

An Ace with an Ace high! Can't loose with those!

Now that my wife and I are getting settled in we took a short road trip around the area. I took advantage of a fence post to show off my Rosewood Barlow.

Nice, Dave! Great looking scenery! Sounds like you've made it home!

The only Lambfoot knife I have. I'll have to take more pictures of it with other themes so I can keep posting here. Thanks for the great thread Jack Black .

Such lovely ebony! Look forward to many more photos of it, Ed!

Jack Black

@glennbad superb looking covers on your Lambsfoot.

Good Morning Guardians.

Lovely, Harvey! Sweet photo, and the pastry looks good too!

Back on the Lambsfoot track!

I took this picture of Li'l Sambar, who was getting jealous of HB's pocket time.

Another sweet shot, Rachel!

I used my lamb foot and a few simple tools to build these driftwood chairs this weekend!

Not really.

What can't a Lambsfoot do??

Just hanging out with my lambsfoot.

The Lambsfoot is a good shot!

I think it's a great read HC, I think I've read it through at least 3 times now drawn. This song to Tom Paine was written by the cutler's favourite poet, Joseph Mather, and sung on innumerable occasions.

More great stuff to read, Jack! Thanks for posting!

I had actually meant to carry some stag today, but as it was, I ended up with Rosewood in my pocket

I'll be carrying that one again tomorrow, along with some stag and Damascus

Hard to go wrong, either the HHB-low, or the Stamascus!
Anymore, I get a surprise everytime I pull a knife out of my pocket, even just after 5 minutes!

Say, GT and r8shell, do you know what LamBar Jack said when he fell from the tree?

"Look out Barlooooooow!"

I don't have any puns about mine, but I bet Rosewood.

LOL!

Great photo@

Cool pic of a fine hat, cutlery and attire.

Great pic and very clever post.


Hang in there Jack. Sorry for your bad start today.

My newest addition to the herd waynorth - Thank you, Charlie

And what a dandy, OG!!

I confess to not making those great chairs, nor this fantastic stuff:

I suppose the early caretakers got extremely bored at times; built sometime in the late 1800s but I forget the exact date.

Seems like a very restful place!

At least it wasn't labeled "Love to Hate"!
