Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[JohnDF]

Good Morning John! love the ebony.

Thank you, Dave. You know I love ebony.

Thank you, Dave. You know I love ebony.

It's my favorite of all the lambsfoot.

Vince, I must have thin (and undoubtedly royal) blood. If the temp is below 70˚F, I usually wear a jacket. (Since we keep our thermostat at 68 during the winter, I wear a jacket and hat indoors all winter. )

Well, maybe I exaggerated a little. I would probably wear at least a sweater or light jacket in the 40s, maybe even low 50s.

The Werewolf and Alabama connection is in their musical similarity, rather than lyrically.

Never noticed. But I don't want to compare because I don't want to listen to Lynard Skynard. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but as JohnDF said recently, "You like what you like"!

Your multiquotes were almost all taken from a single one of my posts. I find that the most difficult type of multi-quoting to manage. You did an impressive job!

Attractive presentations of your stag HHBs, John and Vince!

Thank you, Vince, it's always nice to see the rosewood working out.

Thanks, guys!

 

[JohnDF]

"You like what you like"!

I like that.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack

@black mamba Best wishes for best outcomes with your stress test and surgery, Jeff.

@Fodderwing Do your thing, Dwight. Still great to hear from you.

pjsjr Nice Lamb/floral image, Preston.

@5K Qs - Thank you G.T. That’s a beautiful well composed portrait of Cracker Jack.

JohnDF - The compass and the Waynorth is a great matched pairing.

Good Morning Guardians. Wishing everyone the best.

I love all the Pie content. Definitely on my my bucket list to try. But until then, my absolute favorite kind is pizza. Here’s a homemade one.

Thanks for the backstory on that shot, Preston. I'm vacationing by a lake, and have taken a number of photos on the docks; it makes me VERY nervous!

Gary, Rosie has had a hard life so far, 'rode hard and put away wet', so to speak...not literally as far as being wet. The ironwood has seen several mishaps all due to my being a BFO. Those are my users the others I carry and am really careful with!

Thanks Harvey, pizza is one of my favorites also. I worked my way through college making pizza, yours looks delicious...that crust gets the pjsjr seal of approval!

Thank you Preston. You made pizzas, working to get through college? Respect.

JohnDF Thank you John. It is delicious.

Well, come on down here for a visit! It's gonna be 104 today, and won't get below 80 at night for some time to come.
I hate August.

Smoke sent, Dennis.

I'll spare you posting Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" video, lest it trigger another.

Thank you very much, Rachel!
And thank you VERY MUCH Rachel!

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you bounce back quickly, my friend.

Thank you, John! I appreciate it!

Take care of yourself Dennis.

Thank you kindly, Ed!

mitch4ging - Sorry to hear this. Best wishes for you to feel better, my friend.

Thank you very much, Harvey!

All the best and peace to you my friend.

Muchos gracias, mi hombre!

Good Morning! My wife and I went to an area not far from our home its called the Ranche.
Historic Cochrane Ranche Site
The Town of Cochrane’s most notable park is the Historic Cochrane Ranche Site. With its spectacular mountain views, this beautiful public space is the original site of Alberta's first large-scale livestock operation established by Senator Matthew Cochrane in 1881.
I took a couple of photos this evening, the first is a photo of the first Hospital built-in 1909 restored 2005 the second is a preserved fire wagon not a lot of capacity
in that one. The last photo is, my lovely HHB Sambar Stag staged on one of the many old trees throughout the area.

Beautiful place! Love the fire wagon, such vivid colors!

Very sorry to learn this Dennis, hope you're feeling better again soon my friend

Thank you so much, Jack!

Morning Guardians, it's raining heavily here, and I'm just waiting for my train to Sheffield

Oddly enough, it's raining here this morning, first rain in about a month and a half!
Enjoy your trip, Jack!

Wishing you a speedy recovery Dennis; take it easy.
That's a cool photo with your lambsfoot on that old block.

Thank you very much for the kind words, David!

I still can't bring myself to use this one properly for anything other than (very) light duties so she's a bit of a shelf queen (or a pub beer garden table queen).

Enjoy your Friday everyone! The weekend's almost here.

Great shot, David! I really haven't used mine much either...but love carrying it!

Dennis prayers sent your way for a speedy recovery my friend! We’re enjoying the Rendezvous!

Thanks, Ron! Have a great weekend! I kniw there will be plenty of photos to follow!

Get well, soon, Dennis, the Guardians are with you!

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Jeff!

I'm going in for a stress test this morning, before my surgery next week. I'm not looking forward to it.

So sorry to hear, Jeff! I had a chemical stress test a couple of months ago, hated it!
Hope all goes well for you during the stress test and the surgery! No doubt you'll have the Guardians contingent in full force behind you!

Dennis, I hope you are feeling a bit better today.

Thank you very much, Mike!

Carrying the two bolster lambsfoot today. It was very useful freeing this beauty from the confines of it's international packaging last night when it arrived safely, all the way from Estonia. A unique custom slingshot that I couldn't resist when I saw it

So very cool! Been a while since I shot one!

TGIF to all Guardians, the weekend is almost here. Hope it is a fine one for all.

Beautiful shot, Preston!

Great photo Dennis, sorry to hear about your seizure and hope your recovery is quick and complete!

Thank you much, kind sir!

Lovely pics, Dave. And good morning to you!

Cool shot, Vince! Good morning to you and Rosie!

Hello all! I'm sorry I've been absent lately. I've just gotten busy with a few other things and I'm not the multi-tasker I used to be. Hope all of you are humming along nicely my friends.

Good to know you're doing ok, Dwight...life does divert us!

I hope you bounce back ASAP, Dennis!
Excellent pic! (I need to get a rig like that to keep my pants up when my pockets are full of knives. )

Thank you very much, Gary!
I'm switching to stretchy pants soon!

Cracker Jack and I are still hanging out on the lakefront:

Beautiful photo, Gary! Hope to do some of that in the fall!

Good Morning Guardians

Nice, John! all the primary tools needed for the weekend!

This is the bonus knife Jack Black sent with my Hartshead Barlow.

Great shot, Ed!!

A pre-patina photo on a palm frond:

I'm right there with you, Rachel! Ready for fall!
Cool "pre-p" shot of your HHB!

 

[r8shell]

Thank you very much, Rachel!
And thank you VERY MUCH Rachel!

I was afraid I was being too flippant. I really do hope you're doing okay. Best wishes.

I'm right there with you, Rachel! Ready for fall!
Cool "pre-p" shot of your HHB!

I'm counting the weeks until Fall. Usually I hate it when the stores jump the gun on holidays, but I'm always happy to see the Halloween stuff show up, even if it's in August. Gives me hope that Autumn will come.
It's so hot today, the HHB is staying under the rosemary!

 

[Jack Black]

I just got in after my trip to Sheffield I had a lengthy visit to Wright's, and a good long chat with Michael, the new owner. He's halfway through his first year at the helm, and is really settling into the role. One of the things we talked about was the hard pull on the pen blade of the two-blade Lambsfoot knives. Michael showed me a long-standing Wright's pattern I haven't seen before, a Shadow pattern, with a bird's eye pivot, bexoid scales, and a Sheepsfoot main blade and secondary pen. It has the same springs as the two-blade Lambsfoot, but both blades open much more easily, so it seems that it might be the way the Lambsfoot knives are put together which may be the issue, with the bolster holding the blades together too tightly. I said that I didn't like the design of the pen blade itself, but Michael pointed out he has inherited these patterns, and I think we will see some changes in the next couple of years, as well as further improvements in quality I also bumped into John Maleham, the old gaffer, and it was good to see him, along with Ashley too, who is building up some patina on his Hartshead Barlow

A little levity is a good thing!! Thanks for posting it!

I keep telling myself..."self, it's already August, not long now "...not sure I believe me!

 

[Jack Black]

Good morning Guardians and TGIF! Love the smooth white bone lamb photos from the Rendevous.

Hope everyone has a peach of a day ...

Peachy pic

Aye Jack, my August was just got silly busy, which I had an inkling it would, and it's not finished yet so I won't be round much for the rest of the month either.
Delicious looking pie btw!
I hope this makes up for lack of donn pie action.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Dennis; take it easy.
That's a cool photo with your lambsfoot on that old block.



Thanks for posting that Dave, what a lovely looking hospital.

Not had the opportunities to enjoy the forums for a couple of weeks for various reasons so apologies for any missed acknowledgements but as always great photos everyone!
Strictly speaking this was last Friday. I still can't bring myself to use this one properly for anything other than (very) light duties so she's a bit of a shelf queen (or a pub beer garden table queen).

Enjoy your Friday everyone! The weekend's almost here.

Glad to know you're OK David - if over-worked! Fantastic pics my friend, and I hope you'll be back here soon

Thanks Jack! Enjoy your Sheffield visit my friend!

Thanks Ron

How very cool, sounds like a great visit! Look forward to what they work up in the future!

 

[Jack Black]

Get well, soon, Dennis, the Guardians are with you! I'm going in for a stress test this morning, before my surgery next week. I'm not looking forward to it.

Hope it went well Jeff

If anyone is ever stricken in the Syracuse NY area, I highly recommend Saint Joseph's Hospital. The nurses are to die for.

Not that Old Stubby needs a hospital.

Sounds worth travelling for Jer!

Indeed!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Cool-looking slingshot Mike, going to have to investigate

TGIF to all Guardians, the weekend is almost here. Hope it is a fine one for all.

That Waynorth bone lambfoot is to die for, congrats...with a good amount of jealousy and envy

Thanks Harvey, yes, having a good time with any of these is an easy task

Great photo Dennis, sorry to hear about your seizure and hope your recovery is quick and complete!

Dave, wonderful photos, that hospital is quite quaint as is the fire wagon. Looking at those items and seeing what we have today is quite revealing as to how far we have come!


Looking forward to your report of the adventures in Sheffield!

That is a peach of a photo with the detail you have captured!

David, I have trouble using, a few of, what I consider my 'finer' lambfoot knives. Hope all that is keeping you away gets settled down and your back sooner. Wonderful photos!

Jer, I hope that was 'tongue in cheek'

Ah, a slingshot...thanks for the info...it looks like it's a fine work of art!!

Lovely pic Preston

Not to worry Jack. It is greatly appreciated as are all the extras in the package.

Thanks Ed

Lovely pics, Dave. And good morning to you!

Rosewood in my pocket today.

Good choice Vince

 

[Jack Black]

Hello all! I'm sorry I've been absent lately. I've just gotten busy with a few other things and I'm not the multi-tasker I used to be. Hope all of you are humming along nicely my friends.

Glad to hear you're ok Dwight, thanks for checking in my friend

Good to hear from you, Dwight. Hope you have a swell weekend. (Me, I'm taking my daughter to a Gun Show tomorrow to look at knives, then BBQ for lunch!)

Sounds like the makings of a perfect day Vince, have a great time

Vince, I must have thin (and undoubtedly royal) blood. If the temp is below 70˚F, I usually wear a jacket. (Since we keep our thermostat at 68 during the winter, I wear a jacket and hat indoors all winter. )

The Yorkshire word for this condition is nesh GT, it is actually Old Norse

I hope you had a good trip, Jack; your fancy stag HHB is groovy!!


Congrats on the new knives and other fine tokens of esteem from the ever-generous Jack Black , ED! That stag Hartshead Barlow is a beauty, and I admire the addition to your horn holdings.


That's a dynamic duo, @E40!


Thanks for the backstory on that shot, Preston. I'm vacationing by a lake, and have taken a number of photos on the docks; it makes me VERY nervous!


I hope you bounce back ASAP, Dennis!
Excellent pic! (I need to get a rig like that to keep my pants up when my pockets are full of knives. )


Certainly a peach of a knife!!


Thanks for checking in, even if briefly, David. Your stag HHB looks wonderful! I hope work lets up a bit before too long.


Best wishes for the stress test and upcoming surgery, Jeff.


Exquisite ebony lambsfoot, Mike!

Thanks a lot pal, I'm sure enjoying seeing Cracker Jack away with you on vacation

Good Morning Guardians

Fine ensemble John

Thanks, Jack. Slight change of plans: instead of BBQ we are going to my son's for lunch, and I'll get to see my granddaughter.
