Excellent pic Dwight

Looking good Rachel, that's a very green feather!

Smashing photo Harvey

Ugh!!! I'm in between unloading a furniture semi and our next delivery (our two delivery guys combined are younger than me)! actually, I guess it's not all that funny (for me anyways)
Alright, I had many quotes listed, jumped back as I was certain there where some I missed and as it turns out, I lost them all and just don't have the time to go back and re quote them

So I apologize for not listing individual "thank you's" so for the likes and quotes for my pup and Lamb I extend an all encompassing THANK YOU to all so many knives posted...Jeff, Dwight, Harvey, Jack, Ron, Kevin, Gary and sooooo many I fail to mention. This has to be the fastest moving thread going as I was "quoting" I literally saw pages being added

Today's entry, a feathered horn Lamb Foot gifted by Jack (mrknife) and I know Jacked gifted SEVERAL members here Thanks Jack, miss ya buddy, it was fun hanging with you at the rendezvous

Hate it when that happens! Nice carry though Paul, and a very kind gift Where is Jack, he used to moan that he couldn't get hold of a good straight-framed Lambsfoot?!

Superb pics, Jack, but I think now you're just messing with our minds!
Previously, you've set us up by showing pics of 2 different stag HHBs in the same post, and now you switch to 2 pics of the SAME stag HHB in a single post! I'm too old for such shenanigans!

Sorry buddy! Lovely pic there

Jack Black Thank you Sir. No, Jack. They have a strict don’t ask, don’t tell wedding cake ordering philosophy.

Your generous nature is only one of your many fine qualities. Say hi to the fellas from the Guardians.

 

[Jack Black]

I actually have more Yixing teapots than I can use at one time, so some go into the "vault," like Case knives. I just brought this one out and put the dragon pot away. This one combines red clay with blue in a bamboo motif, and is beautifully made. RALF approves. I christened its new advent with my finest single estate green tea.

Impressive Jeff

Thanks for the link - although Cornish Pasties are a staple of bakeries here, I’d never heard that word for them!

I tell you, that smell when you start toasting the cumin, coriander seeds and caraway is almost as delicious as the finished product!

I never knew that Chin, though it doesn't entirely surprise me I had one yesterday I was actually talking to a Cornishmen today, which doesn't happen often, they don't tend to leave. Lovely part of the world, so I don't blame them

I love the smell of those spices Chin, can't wait

Thanks lads, yes I actually had the Lambshank out today, prompted by Greg’s account of using his Buff Lambsfoot in the kitchen. I used it help butcher a Sambar deer down into cuts, which my brother took while we hunted the Victorian High Country this past weekend, and which had been hanging in a cool room to age.

I’ll certainly write some fuller notes, and I also want to make some observations on ‘mah knife’ - my ebony user Lambsfoot after using it for a couple of years now - but I’ll do it in a fresh post, hopefully over the next week or so.

I'm really looking forward to seeing that post my friend, and it's great to see your Lambshank again

Excellent Jeff, I’m glad it worked so well for you. You did an excellent job! It looks great.

I just thought I’d mention in closing, that I’m glad to see along with all the fine Waynorths and Guardians specials, that many folk are still digging their basic ol’ worker Lambsfoot knives.
Here’s to the ‘Humbles’!

Here, here Chin, great pic mate

Been taking care of some appointments this morning! I had this wee Sambar along with one of its domestic cousins in my pockets!

Hope they went OK Ron, good to see that one again, and it's a reminder I have too many neglected Lambsfoot knives that deserve some pocket time

To the "Humbles"!

They shall inherit the earth.

Yes indeed

 

[Fodderwing]

Your picture is making me dream of Fall weather.

Me, too. Another three months to go at least.

Cheers Dwight. Great to see that beautiful fall pic of your rosewood Lambsfoot again. It almost looks like it’s laying in rose petals.

I have to look at these pics now to have faith there is life-after-July & August. Last two mornings the humidity has been 99%. (of course I'm not telling Rachel anything new).

as illustrated by the image, taken on the hood of a car during a downpour. I needed a towel and a change of clothes.

... "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays"... you my friend from the completion of your photographic duties... and it is readily apparent

Superb photo of some sumptuous stag!

Thanks GT.

or brawl in bar rooms.

Yeah but what about quilting workshops?... ...Hmmm...????

Thank you buddy, I can feel Lucy blushing in my pocket! Fantastic pic

Thanks Jack.

I am amazed I still have this cadillac cigarette lighter, as I have had it since 1988 (and I stopped smoking 10 years before that)! It has a bit of a story attached to it, including a lot of craziness, and the daughter of the owner of one of America's most famous sports teams!

Love what Kevin has started!!! ... now ... let me see...

 

[dc50]

Maybe Jack's Sunday Sausage Sandwich with Henderson's would be more appropriate. Or a chip butty.

exactly!

LOL! That's good to know my friend, in case I ever get a hankering! I am still amazed at the sheer audacity and ambition of your cake request though! Thank you very much my friend, nice to see some happy faces - albeit ones caked with fish and chip grease!

 

[black mamba]

Thank you, Jack, you're gracious as always!

 

[Jack Black]

I picked up some Humphrey's Radiant Tea Knives and a Swann-Morton Bread Knife in the market, still in their original boxes @ADEE 's missus used to work for Swann-Morton, so I'll pass on the Bread Knife

Feel free to PM me the story...

I thank God we don't have the humidity that others do. Please Dwight, keep posting the Fall pictures, they are beautiful.

I switched over to the Ironwood, he was howling for some attention...

 

[r8shell]

Looking good Rachel, that's a very green feather!

Thanks. That is a Monk Parakeet feather. They have built nests in my neighborhood. Very pretty and fun to watch, but noisy!

I really can't complain too much. This summer has been relatively cool so far. Only a couple of days above 100 degrees.

Nice finds. The box alone, would have been a treasure. You’re a great Sheffield Cutlery Archeologist.

 

[WhittlinAway]

Thank you Greg. This Lambsfoot is a modern, all Stainless, Joseph Rodgers. It’s about 3 1/2 inches closed, and the blade is about 2 1/2 inches in length. Super thin. Fits in my small watch pocket, nicely. It’s very inexpensive and not afraid of any sort of weather, as illustrated by the image, taken on the hood of a car during a downpour. I needed a towel and a change of clothes. It needed a blow dry and a bit of mineral oil.

Thanks Harvey! Might make a good addition to my earthquake kits...

In my haste to catch up, I apparently missed that first photo of a trio (among a bunch of other topics and pics I've seen referred to in other posts, but never noticed the originals).

I’m afraid my phrasing was misleading. There was just the one photo of the trio. I meant that I’d considered “The three amigos” before settling on “one for all, all for one” for the caption.

Greg, how is the horn on that knife doing? Is it quite stable now, or do you still experience seasonal changes? I admire your commitment to that one!

Thanks for asking. It’s been more stable so far this year. I don’t know whether that is from the conditioning with my wood balm, our atypical weather this spring, its age, or just plain luck. I’ll keep you posted.

That's a tremendous trio right there!!

Many thanks!

Nice one Greg, I’ll be looking forward to hearing what you think, and maybe seeing a few pics - complete with trusty buffalo Lambsfoot, no doubt. I’ve got a couple more good ones, when you start harvesting your peppers.

I’m looking forward to it, too! I’ll be sure to share thoughts and post pics. I’m hoping to incorporate it into next week’s menu.

The chiles are taking their time, but I’ll let you know when harvest comes around.

Thanks lads, yes I actually had the Lambshank out today, prompted by Greg’s account of using his Buff Lambsfoot in the kitchen.

Thanks for the update. I’m very much looking forward to the longer form notes. They’ll warrant a sit down and savor with a beer or coffee, depending on when I notice them come in.

Here’s to the ‘Humbles’!

Hooray for the Humbles!

Wow! Fantastic Greg, I wish I could hit the 'Like' button more than once!

Thank you so much, Jack. I had a lot of fun crafting that post.

I am attempting to buy yet another - can't help myself. Something is very wrong with me

Or something is Wright. A. Wright, that is.

Thanks Harvey, I had a good day, though the boys are beginning to expect me to buy them fish 'n' chips!

So, you could say you’ve become their chip buddy? Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Still working

Great to see the working ones at work.

John, the light plays nicely, giving the image a glow, while revealing the figuring of your Ironwood.

Oh my yes. Great finds Jack!

I really can't complain too much. This summer has been relatively cool so far. Only a couple of days above 100 degrees.

Yeah same here. We've had the best Spring and Summer (so far) that we've had in years. If it was extremely hot starting now I still couldn't complain compared to most years.

 

[pjsjr]

Thanks for the photos and explanation. Very interesting. And Rosie looks great in her supervisory role.

You're welcome and thanks, Rosie is a real cut up at supervision

Great post Preston!

That is just way cool! Never seen one or heard of it.

Thank you Harvey


Have a great dayView attachment 1163566

Thank you Dwight and that's a wonderful photo...I have to ask, do you have leaves stored some place so you can use them when you want?

Harvey, you post some excellent photos...this one is tops!

Ugh!!! I'm in between unloading a furniture semi and our next delivery (our two delivery guys combined are younger than me)! actually, I guess it's not all that funny (for me anyways)
Alright, I had many quotes listed, jumped back as I was certain there where some I missed and as it turns out, I lost them all and just don't have the time to go back and re quote them

Today's entry, a feathered horn Lamb Foot gifted by Jack (mrknife) and I know Jacked gifted SEVERAL members here Thanks Jack, miss ya buddy, it was fun hanging with you at the rendezvous

It sure is frustrating to have all the post finished and all of a suddenly it's gone...many of us have had that happen! That is a wonderful knife, very special horn. I like the pile side best, both are great!

I actually have more Yixing teapots than I can use at one time, so some go into the "vault," like Case knives. I just brought this one out and put the dragon pot away. This one combines red clay with blue in a bamboo motif, and is beautifully made. RALF approves. I christened its new advent with my finest single estate green tea.

That is an elegant pot...RALF is looking fine also. I can't tell what the spout is suppose to be/represent, looks to be some on the handle and the lid, please enlighten me. Thanks.

Cheers Preston, thanks for that wonderful post showing your bird dog training sessions. I’m really enjoying these ‘Lambsfoot and Slice of Life’ posts here lately.

I like the LSL posts also, Chin, there are many different people,on this forum/thread and their talents and interests are should be told along with the lammies.

To the "Humbles"!

They shall inherit the earth.

I was thinking they are world beaters

That is fantastic Preston, I really enjoyed learning a bit more about what you and Dutch do, and that video is amazing Hope we get to see Dutch in action at some point Nice to see Rosie, and she's looking good my friend

Thanks you Jack, these dogs(trial dogs) are truly amazing. Dutch is not at that level, but he's a very capable. To be at that level they need to be with a pro trainer,full time. I did have my last dog with a pro trainer full time and did compete with in field trails with him. He was good at it. When I retired him and he came home to live with me full time, I decided then and there that it's more important for me to have a dog with me that I can enjoy, 24-7. Dutch fills that need in spades. I'll see what I can do about getting a video of him running some marks or a blind.

Feel free to PM me the story...

Yes, you don't want an angry wolf around the house, huffing and puffing
Here's to the humbles...

Thank you Dwight and that's a wonderful photo...I have to ask, do you have leaves stored some place so you can use them when you want?

Thanks Preston. For every pic I post there are probably 6 or more very similar that aren't posted. I usually just reach back and get one although I'm absolutely sure many of them are repeats.

Thanks you Jack, these dogs(trial dogs) are truly amazing. Dutch is not at that level, but he's a very capable. To be at that level they need to be with a pro trainer,full time.

I'm very glad Dutch is an amateur instead of a pro. For both of your sakes.

Thank you for saying such a nice things, Preston.

Fine image of your Lambsfoot. One of the fine qualities of your images, is that you’re getting great shadow detail.

One can certainly appreciate the special connection between you and Dutch. Happy for you.
