Love the stag covers! I definitely have a stag lambfoot on my wish list!

[5K Qs]

An impressive variety of lambsfoots showed up in the 1380s pages. Below, I tried to quote posts in which a given model showed up for the first time in that decade.

Happy Yorkshire Day 2019!

...

Your ironwood and your stag HHB form quite a fitting lambsfoot pair for the recent Yorkshire Day festivities, Chin! (I've been in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for about 28 hours now, and have yet to sample a pastie. )

I received this in the mail today. It is stamped Made in Sheffield. Nothing else. Is there a Sheffield Pakistan? The bolsters are brass and the scales are supposed to be rosewood.
The quality is just OK, not great.

Congrats!! In my mind's eye, that's what a traditional lambsfoot ought to look like!

Happy Yorkshire Day to all ye Guardians of the Lambsfoot!

Heavenly horn siblings, Ron!

Your ebony WCLF shines like a constellation in the sky!

And that jigged bone WCLF is almost miraculous in how near to perfection it comes!

What a quality quartet, Ben!

Those Wright Wrosewoods are lambsfoots near and dear to my heart!

In honor of Yorkshire day I am unveiling my Big'un recovered by @glennbad in maple burl. Thank you Glenn!

Congrats on the breath-taking big burl, Dwight!

Happy Yorkshire Day!

Rachel, your rosewood HHB and your flaming little stag are certainly a celebratory couple!

Always a treat to see a 2-blade model!

Happy Yorkshire Day! Many thanks to Jack for a terrific year.

I'm carrying my PD Stag Bigun today! I really like this knife a lot!

There are some stags of a different texture! Thanks for including Pere Davids of two sizes, Dave and Ron.

Tour de force, Dave!

I hope Jack Black has and is having a Happy Yorkshire Day.

As a guy with some years on him, I appreciate seeing a lambsfoot with some years on it, Harvey!

I enjoyed the second installment (of what I hope is a long series), Greg!

Happy Yorkshire Day GT Thank you, that's a memorable photo and a great composition I was in the Blue Bell on Monday, and was thinking how much you'd love it in there
...

Thanks, Jack. If I were to meet you in the Blue Bell, it wouldn't be the first establishment I frequented that my wife and daughter considered unsavory!

...
I thought I would gather the special knives that Jack has been responsible for bringing to us this year for a special photo. Unfortunately, I do not have much in the way of Yorkshire swag but I do have this bottle of Henderson's which has become quite a staple in our kitchen.

Happy Yorkshire Day, folks!

All that quality AND quantity in the past 7 months, Dylan? Jack has been a Guardian of grand goings-on!

..
Gary, I know it's hard to believe, but its the real thing my friend
...

Definitely incredible, Dave, and I admire (and envy ) those who've experienced the reality!

Sure, why not

Thank you for the compliments and kind words GT, it's always good to see Cracker Jack

Thanks, Harvey & Jack!

I think we can probably all agree on the winner...

Well done Dave @dc50 (and Linda), thanks for giving us all a good Yorkshire Day chuckle Choose your prize Dave, and it will be on it's way out of Yorkshire soon ...

Way to go, Dave!! Thanks for the generous Yorkshire Day GAW, Jack!

Good Morning Guardians

I just realized that a couple of your lambsfoot knives are a WCLF and a WOLF!

I thought at first that your stag HHB was involved with sausages, Harvey!

Howdy Guardians.

Cindy (my wife) and I returned from Klamath Falls, Oregon and the doctors late yesterday evening
with the news that Cindy has been declared cancer free after 5-years. Of course, we'll keep a close eye on it regardless. Needles to say that news cheered me up considerably.

When I got home, there was an e-mail from a shop in Sheffield telling me that my Large Lambfoot with Buffalo Horn covers was ready and being shipped to me along with a two blade lambfoot I had also ordered. Here's a picture of my Large Lambfoot. Although not a great picture, it is much appreciated. Thanks to the vendor. The actual Lambfoot winging it's way to me.

Two Blade Lambfoot heading my way. Vendor stock photo.

I hope you guys will excuse me now while I go out in the back yard and watch for the plane carrying my knives.

Thanks for sharing the good news about your wife's health, ED; "cancer free" has to be one of the best pairs of words someone can hear! And congrats on more new lambsfoots heading your way; you're jumping right into the deep end of the pool!

Good Morning friends!! First off, thank you so very much, Jack, for your generous gift I would like to chose the HB Stag Barlow if I may.
...

Congrats again, Dave - fine choice!

Thank you Ron.

Thank you Jack.

A wonderful thing to hear. Very happy news.

Excellent idea. I bought this one for Cherri and she's very pleased with it.View attachment 1172715

Are the blades on that KK mower lambsfoots, Dwight? If so, another example of the elusive American lambsfoot; if not, why is it pictured in this thread???

...

Jigged bone Lamb Foot.

Jolly jigging!

Good Morning Guardian. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend, as well.

Cool photo of your WCLF, Harvey, with the several textures and shades of black (are there shades of black?)!

Morning Guardians. Another innovative photograph of my Lambfoot - Mark side up, Pile side reflected below in the mirror. Gotta find a better way to suspend the knife over the mirror.

Reflections on a Lambsfoot! Very cool ED!

Greetings Guardians!

Today was cleaning and sharpening day. 2 bolster needed a bit more attention, and had to mildly file the kick as she was a little proud after sharpening.

Hey! Good to see you here, Mike, posting a couple of lambsfoot classics!

Jigged bone Lamb Foot.

Some Grand Green bone you have!

Morning Guardians,

I'm off for a hike today, accompanied by my Hartshead Barlow Have a great weekend folks

That is certainly a motivational scene for a hike, Jack!

Good Morning Guardians... I'll be back in a while.

That's about the worlds most perfect sign!! Good fot you, John!

Dutch's vet and his son are joining us again.

That is a grand shot, Preston!

Good Morning Guardian. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend, as well.

Nice photo, Harvey! How does it shoot? I had looked at their (Chiappa) breakdown .22 / 12 gage combo rifles before, but never fired any of their products.

Thanks my friend, here's a pic from my hike

Looks like one tranquil lamb, Jack! Nice photo!

I very much enjoyed your post regarding your grandfather. They sure don't make them like they used to.

Thank you very much, Dylan! They sure were a tough generation!

Looking good Paul I need to carry mine more, but this Hartshead Barlow is really hogging my pocket at the moment

They are hard to put down! Classy but rugged and can do attitude!

This week these two Babys get the Diamond Stone Treatment!

One of my absolute Favourite Lambsfoot Knives!......

Great looking pair, and fantastic photos! I also do love the curved handles, such an incredibly comfortable grip, ay least for my hands!

Sunday Sausage Sandwich!

That aught to get you going! But that sauce might give your lamb heart

Looks good Jack! Have a great day.

Very nice photo, Dave! Looks like spring on the prairie?

I’m still carrying my Waynorth Jigged Bone today!

They do look like they would be a dream to carry, slim for the pocket??

Proper English Breakfast before the Community Shield!

A family platter? Bet the HHB handled it all!

Good Morning Guardians
A family photo for you all today...

Grand Can of Lambs, John!! And the herd grows...!

Okay, I just had to finally try one.
I can now say that it's really good and I enjoyed it lot!
The ingredients may not be exactly the same but it's what I had on hand... Jimmy Dean sausage... Yummy.

Looks good, John! Jimmy Dean, still doing commercials even after passing 9 years ago!

Dandelamb

Love the coloring you got in that photo, Dwight! Dandelions, natures stress relievers!

Hello Guardians! Made it to Dublin

have any spare time in Dublin, I highly recommend a visit to Kilmainham Gaol (museum) .

And the Guinness brewery, or Porterhouse brewery, or..... I am jealous!
A little "Dublin Blues" for your travels, Bill.

Colt's Combat Unit, 9 mm and the Ruger Blackhawk, 45 Colt/45 ACP. In me haste to leave for the range I forgot the Lambsfoot, hence the after the fact photo.

Nice, Preston! I really got to get some shooting time in. Probably just the .22 Henry and clay pigeons.

Good Morning Guardians.

Incredible photo, Harvey! Great color selection for that shot!

 

[mitch4ging]

I picked up a few old photos of Sheffield in the market the other week. This one features the road I grew up on. Our house was a couple of hundred yards further up the road, and a little smaller, but I lived in one of those houses when I was in my early twenties

This photo is taken nearby, and the two bridges shown pan the Porter Brook . Both bridges lead to the dam (or millpond) of Upper Spurgear Wheel . I wonder if the old gent is Mr Ibbotson, the owner of Porter Glen Boating Lake?

This photo shows one of the entrances to Sheffield Botanical Gardens, and is close to where the Famous Sheffield Shop stands today, and near where @pmew 's grandfather used to live

The photos also give me an opportunity to show both sides of my Hartshead Barlow

Love the old photos, Jack! It's always interesting to see where we come from, and how it looks now. Not always improvements.
The HHB seems to be holding it down good!

Bow chicka wow wow... Sultry photo, Harvey.

Have a Great Sunday, All.

Nice, John!

This knife is so nice it deserves to soar and nest with the Eagles !!!

indeed!

I'm never sure of the purpose of 'Black IPA's other than brewers showing off, but this one was in my fridge, and it tastes OK Certainly not as strange as the 'White Coffee Stout' I had on Yorkshire Day, which while utterly delicious, still has me scratching my head

Looks great, Jack!

I really like this picture with a wonderful old historic brick home built in 1879 as the backdrop.

Very cool setting for your HHB!

Even with a compass available, I get lost in the white rose beauty of that blond horn, Dennis!

Thank you for the kind words, Gary!

Cracker Jack's scheduled appearance in my pocket ended Saturday, but I decided to take him on vacation with us. I hope I'll get some new pics of him soon, but for now, an old one:

Even CJ needs a vaca! Oldie but goodie!

Lots o great photos today Guardians. Had a busy day yesterday, a nice 5 mile hike today, so the rest of the evening will be spent relaxing with a couple pals ...

Looks like you got relaxing under control!

I keep meaning to carry my Charlie Lambsfoot more

Man, they sure are nice eye candy!

Speaking of Dublin...

 

[cigarrodog]

5K Qs - Thank you G.T. Black, when you break it down, consists of 256 shades of gray.

mitch4ging - Thank you so much Dennis. The Chiapa allows me to shoot with reasonable accuracy, because its’ design mostly eliminates the barrel flipping up when fired. Wishing you a great week.

I know, right? I love that sign.

Jimmy Dean is immortal.

Nice, John!

Thanks, Dennis.

I'm showing my complete ignorance on this topic, but I've looked online, and have found no definitive answers... is there some sort of parameters for a blade that will distinguish a lambfoot/sheepfoot/ramfoot? It looks to me like a lambfoot spine slopes downward slightly toward the tip, and a ramfoot slopes upward slightly, making the tip wider than the hinge side of the blade. I don't know where the sheepfoot falls in there.

Anybody know the actual differences in these? Thanks in advance.

What a combo!

Thank you very much, hope you enjoyed your hike

Just got back from another ride to my favorite retreat
I love this Waynorth LambFoot so much!!

Great pics

I'm going to look for that one.

It's not commonly available here, mainly due to the high price (up to £10 - $12.50 - a bottle), but I came across a well-stocked shop, selling it at half that price Hope you can find some Vince, it may be less expensive in Texas as the tax is much lower than here

I'm not sure what I'm looking for, is the wheel not seen?

A cutlery wheel is the whole physical structure, the grinding hull or workshop. Even after the use of water-power ceased, and even at those which never had water-power, the word 'wheel' was still used to refer to a cutlery workshop. In this case though, the water-wheel was situated on the right side of the photo, just out of shot, and would have looked like this one, which is fitted to one of the cutlery wheels a little further upstream - Shepherd's Wheel

Good advice Vince

 

[Jack Black]

Morning Guardians, hope everyone had a great weekend, and that your Monday is off to a good start

Carrying my AC today

 

[hornetguy]

Best thing to do is read at least the first few pages of this thread.

Well, I had already read the first couple of pages before I posted this, and all I found was "don't post your ramfoot photos here". I also saw the diagram of the lambfoot blade. That explains what a lambfoot is, but not what a sheepfoot and a ramfoot are.

I will go back and read more.

EDIT: After a couple more pages, I think I have it. Enough for me, anyway. Pretty much what I thought. When comparing the spine to the edge, lambsfoot tapers downward, sheepsfoot is pretty much parallel, and the ramsfoot tapers upward. May not capture all the nuances, but that's good enough for my enquiring mind....
