Three sizes of Lambsfoot (the horn and stag are SFOs, but I believe they are made on the regular sized frames)

Sorry Rachel! :D :thumbsup:
 
These African Rosewood Lambs are as tough as iron.
I was working on the roof and my African Rosewood Lamb took a tumble and landed 8 feet below on concrete. The only damage (thankfully) was a scuff mark on the butt of the knife. It's hard to see it even in pictures, I was so relieved because it hit really hard. What a tough little bugger!!! Proving once again that these are indeed working knives. :cool::thumbsup:

I've posted below a cast of lambsfoot characters I encountered in the 1390s pages of this thread, mostly in order of appearance.


Call it monkey business if you will, but 2018 was a very good year for stygian ebony Guardians lambsfoots! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


That's beguiling burl, Dwight! I seem to have lost emoji ability for now )-:


ED, your horn lambsfoot is outasight, you old non-hippie!


Near-perfection, Ron!


Great example of the 2-tone ironwood 2019 Guardians lambsfoots, Dwight!


Duncan, your AC is Admirably Constructed!


Intriguing old photos, Jack; thanks for showing us both sides of your stag HHB!


Fantastic Four, John!


Thanks for the update, Bill; I hope you have a memorable trip!


The covers on that vintage lambsfoot make it my favorite of your oldies (I think), Harvey!


The always-advantageous African rosewood lambsfoot!


Good plan, Ron; make sure you remember! I brought many knives on my vacation, and picked up a new knife at a hardware store in Mackinaw City on the south end of the Mackinac Bridge. I brought silicon carbide stones, a DMT Aligner system, a strop. But I forgot my little bottle of mineral oil! How am I going to pile the joints??


Thanks for the acknowledgement, Jack!


Thanks, Harvey. We drove up on Saturday; the 6-hour trip seems longer every year! Walked a total of 8 miles yesterday to go to a Sunday flea market in a nearby town. No good knives there (but lots of fresh fruits and vegetables), and the adjacent antique store where I've made some amazing knife finds has gone out of business in the past year. Nice weather, great surroundings, good food so far!


Thanks for the encouraging words, Dennis!


Thanks for the info, Harvey; I may have to "read all about it"!


My wife claims that embroidered cushions are known to leave a mark should a pillow fight break out! But she DID get me a fine lambsfoot in York!


Why "Jelly", Matt??


Great pic of a stag variation, Dave!


Thanks for posting that 2-blade I*XL lambsfoot, Russell!


Marvelous mod, Harvey!


Tough to beat 4 Aces, Vince!


Love that rosewood HHB in the sunshine!


I'm not tired of it, since I have one just like it that was my first lambsfoot!

Here's Union Jack, my rosewood, on vacation a year ago, and he's with me again this year.

Had a great time at the dear old Temple Bar. In Waterford now and enjoying this nice little town. Going to Killarney tomorrow.
 
Jack Black Jack Black - Thank you Jack for the show and tell on the variety and differences between the Lambsfoot knives. I’m proof that by keeping up here, you can glean answers to questions, previously unasked. I was unsure precisely what “Big Un” was. I wanted one ever since I heard the term, but wasn’t certain about what it was. Fine looking is your Rosewood HH Barlow.

Good Morning Guardians.

Beautiful picture, especially the orange Fall leaf. I feel cooler already. :D
 
Jack, would you mind putting the position of the index in your opening orientation message. I think it got eliminated in the last revision.
I would very much appreciate it as I have looked for it (unsuccessfully) a number of times in the last ten days..

JohnDF JohnDF - Do you have access to something to apply steam to that dent? Perhaps a tea kettle or some other means to produce steam. Even a steam iron or an iron applied to a damp washcloth laid over the dent. Use your imagination. Anyway that is a method used to raise a dent in a gun stock or anything else wooden.

If you ever get time, I think you will find reading through this thread to be a fascinating and rewarding experience. To make things easier though, @WhittlinAway and a steadfast team of volunteers, have created a thread index, and while it is currently incomplete, it should help you find answers to any questions you might have about the Lambsfoot pattern.

A little better than half way down on the first post. Tap thread index.
 
Thank you, I missed that paragraph. The reason that I have been looking is that I am having trouble opening on of my A. Wright lamb foot knives and want to look at the section on loosening the back spring.
