Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good morning Guardians. Getting ready to take off for a camping trip to one of my favorite places in the world, Tahoe. Truly God's country.

Since I won't be around, I wanted to wish you lot an early Happy Yorkshire Day. In honor of that most important of days ;), I picked up this book for a bit of light reading.

Some day I hope to find both a vintage lambfoot and cutthroat from this era, in good working condition. I guess I just have to keep at it, the way collectors used to do so in the olden days (i.e., pre-internet).
 
You kids are looking good!! :thumbsup: It's funny how we think of others when certain things arise. Because the restaurant was featuring this Texas iced Tea I instantly thought of you. Of course, if I ever see someone eating a Chip butty? spell? Jack Black will be in my thoughts. :p

Nice moose Vince! Congrats on the anniversary!;)

I've been to the "Sparkling City By The Sea" on many occasions on business. Always had fond memories of Corpus. Your posted photos are great; love the Irish coin. My wife and I are headed to Ireland and Scotland in a week for a two week vacation. Will visit her relatives in Donegal. Erin go Bragh!

Congratulations to you and your wife Vince! Grand photo of the newlyweds, nice to put a face with the name!:):thumbsup:
Time does fly...too fast! My wife and I just had our 33rd March 15th, doesn't seem that ling.:confused:

Prester John Prester John ... Congratulation to such a nice looking couple. :cool::thumbsup:

Blackbeard's! My now ex wife and I used to eat there every time we visited the aquarium, I love their oyster po' boy. I miss Texas greatly, but ya know, all my exes live there :D

Wonderful pic of you two Vince. :)
Thanks, y'all!
 
Hey Guardians :)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine has been rather tiring (and trying), and I'll be get back to my usual routine :rolleyes: Just trying to catch up :thumbsup:

Looks good, Jack, but personally I'd be wary of open knives and 10.5% ABV stout on the same table! :eek:;) Not being an emperor myself, I find that imperial stout affects me quickly!

I think I might be rummaging through my fridge to try and find something of a similar calibre before a long bath and an early night! :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

Black Jack yet again:

Starting the day with a standard Lamb and a standard coffee in a standard mug. Sometimes the basics are just perfect :D

Well said :) :thumbsup:

Try the pepper jelly on egg rolls. :thumbsup: You're welcome.

That patina is coming along nicely Rachel :) :thumbsup:
 

Beautiful photo Mark :) :thumbsup:

Thanks, Jack and GT.
Despite being a freshman as participating in the Guardians thread, I really enjoy all the knife related pictures and information provided by the Seniors here.
Thanks all!!!

I think you're one of our most longstanding posters my friend :) :thumbsup:


Looking mighty fine Vince :) :thumbsup:

Jack Black Jack Black Thank you Jack. Very nice to see your Waynorth Lamb in what is now its’ natural surroundings. It’s 16 degrees C in your neck of the woods(as I tap this), so heat is no longer a concern.:)

...

Good Morning Guardians. Wishing you all a fine weekend.

LOL! Guilty! :rolleyes: :D :thumbsup:

Another cool pic Kevin :) :thumbsup:


Wow Darren, what an incredible line-up :cool: :thumbsup:

Unlike @r8shell who keeps her agave in the ground, I prefer to keep my agave in a bottle.

Cheers Ed! :) :thumbsup:

My son and I were out bow shooting this morning. Nothing wrong with a compound bow, but we both prefer long and recurve bows, as we do traditional knives...
The Hartshead shown sitting on the arrow rest belongs to my son, who also counts Jack as a good friend.

Looks great Dave, I had a good lunch myself, but forgot to take pics :( ;) :thumbsup:
 
Went out with the Missus myself tonight for seafood. Didn't take a picture of the food, but took one of the moose head on the wall:

Thought of you and Canada, Dave!
The restaurant was called Blackbeard's, and is on North Beach (part of Corpus Christi near the harbour). I proposed to my wife 28 years ago tonight on North Beach.

Fantastic pics Vince :) :thumbsup:

You kids are looking good!! :thumbsup: It's funny how we think of others when certain things arise. Because the restaurant was featuring this Texas iced Tea I instantly thought of you. Of course, if I ever see someone eating a Chip butty? spell? Jack Black will be in my thoughts. :p

Thanks Dave, there IS a chance it could be me eating it! :D :thumbsup:


That's another great pic Mark, I like a morel myself :) :thumbsup:

Happy Sunday Guardians!

Hope you have a fantastic time visiting my Celtic neighbours Bill :) :thumbsup:

Good Morning Guardians
Yesterday was spent 'plinking' with pistols and 'blasting' clay pigeons out of the sky. :D

Sounds like a lot of fun John, nice pic :) :thumbsup:


F-A-B Dennis ;) :thumbsup:

Good Sunday morning Guardians. Great photos and posts from everyone:thumbsup::cool:
Was up early and left for dog training yesterday...home late, tired, but content with the day's activities and Dutch's performance.
We are both taking it easy and resting up:thumbsup::)

Thanks, Gary, I'll use 'QUOTE' from now on...appreciate the info.

Thank you Bill, it is really special to me.


The Westy would have no trouble with that Boxer 12 in place of the limping four banger. What a great detailed model.

Great stuff Preston :) I could do with a rest myself, I have walked 30 miles since my guest arrived Thursday night, and it has all been on pavement :rolleyes:


Stunning pic Dwight :thumbsup:

Thanks!
I'm going to make a confession: When pictures of these Hartsheads first started showing up, I felt a little bit 'meh' about it. The bolster being flat, rather than rounded, seemed odd. I kept thinking that the bolster stamp should have been larger and horizontal rather than vertical. That's how I'm used to seeing bolster stamps, and I have a little o.c.d. about composition and use of space. :oops:

Well, just like lots of folks when handling a Lambsfoot for the first time, once I had it in hand, the ergonomics informed the aesthetics. The flat bolster feels nice as a worry stone: I like the way the wood slopes down to meet it. I can't see the pivot pin, but I assume it's located in the plain area of the bolster, so if I ever needed to tap it with a peening hammer I wouldn't mar the stamping. And it feels so solid and tight, I doubt I'll ever have to fix any blade wobble, but maybe in 100 years, someone will.

My point being, I've been carrying it so much my others are getting jealous.

Glad you're enjoying it Rachel :) Yep, the pin is there OK ;) :thumbsup:


Smashing Harvey! :) :thumbsup:
 
Good Morning to all :) Great pics and posts by all again today. Well done :thumbsup:
I know I've left more than one out of this post, but at least I "liked" them all.
Thank you my friend. :thumbsup::)

First glance, I thought he was sitting on a commode :confused: :D I thought "Now THAT is old" :eek:;)
Good Morning Guardians
Yesterday was spent 'plinking' with pistols and 'blasting' clay pigeons out of the sky. :D
Used to go after doves on a friends property and I'd carry a .22 with snake loads in it. When one would come straight in and low, I'd pull out that .22 and knock it out of the sky :) Those who thought I was using regular cartridges would talk about my marksmanship for days :D
Fabulous food, drink and Lambsfoot image, Dave.
@Ramrodmb Thank you Mark. Your in garden image beautiful and well done.
Prester John Prester John Wonderful portrait of you and the Mrs., Vince.
@good Morning Guardians.

Have a fantastic trip Christian, nice find on that tome (Geoff is a friend) :) Thank you for the tribute, and I hope all our fellow Guardians will help me celebrate - guess I should do a giveaway ;) I can't buy on the internet, so have gone through a lot of shoe-leather, like in the old-fashioned way :eek: :thumbsup:


Such a gorgeous knife :) :thumbsup:

That's great Jack sounds like you were preoccupied entertaining your guest, my friend. ;)

Thanks Dave :) I think I'll go on holiday the next time he wants to visit, be less expensive, and a lot more relaxing :rolleyes:
 
Cheers!

(I bought a large bottle of Samuel Smith Imperial Ale to enjoy this evening. If I remember, I'll post a pic later.)

Thanks Vince :) I have a bottle of Sam Smith's Imperial Stout in the fridge, but am just enjoying this Vanilla Porter from Brass Castle, another Yorkshire Brewery :thumbsup:
