Thanks again Dennis, I hope you're doing OK buddy

Thanks Harvey, I had a great day, but a tiring one The weather was very unsettled, one minute warm and sunny, the next there was a heavy downpour, and like that until late afternoon Because of that, we changed the route of our walk, and I didn't get as many pics as I'd have liked because I didn't want to get rain in my camera! I'll post a few later though

Cool pic Dennis

 

Nice pic Dave

I KNEW we were brothers Paul! Your WCLF is looking good my friend

Nice to see that one Taylor

Thanks pal, that's a very cool pic!

Nice pics

That's special Ron

Thanks Mark, that's a beautiful old tool, and a great photo my friend

Very nice Dan, you've been posting some excellent pics of your ebony Lambsfoot

LOL! Fab Five Rachel

 

Thanks Gary, stag is certainly very traditional on a Barlow

UJ never looked better GT

Thank you very much my friend my is still a bit sore, but thankfully it didn't 'go' My feet sure do ache though!

That looks great Ed, how do you find the larger model?

I usually pinch open my Lambsfoot blades, but that's the way I use the nail-nick Makes a difference have a nice deep nick

That's a smashing photo Harvey, I hope you enjoyed the beer

Lovely pic Dave I wasn't far from the Blue John caverns of Derbyshire yesterday (thought you and Linda might find the link interesting)

Glad to hear it's wearing you in Dan

It might be worth a shot mate! Nice pic there

Wow, you have certainly jumped in with both feet Ed! Nice to hear (in your other post) that the pull on the pen is not a problem

The longer length of the blade certainly makes them easier to open I think

Me neither, same steel and HT though That's unusual that the blade on yours is harder to open though Dave

Edit - Apologies for the clumsy multi-quote folks

 

Fantastic pics Dan

Looking good Kevin

Hope you can get out soon Dennis

Sounds like you're going to have a great weekend my friend Cool pic

I didn't I think that the larger blades are generally what makes them easier to open, but while the springs have the same steel and HT, they could vary from the smaller ones I guess because of the extra mass

 

Morning Guardians, few pics from my hike yesterday

 

Thanks a lot Ron, those two look great together

Thank you my friend As soon as I saw that fat trout, I thought 'I've got to get a pic for John! On this pic, you can see a smaller trout nearby, even that was worth catching

Lovely ebony there

It's been wet and miserable here too Hope you find a Lambsfoot Bill

That is in the Derbyshire Peak District John, going down the River Derwent from Grindleford to Baslow via Calver, and then across the Chatsworth Estate to Bakewell. I have friends named Kelly in both Ireland and Scotland

Thank you very much Mike, it was certainly better than staying in the city - and the weather is worse today!

Sorry for cocking up my multi-quote Ed (fixed it now) The Big 'Un is certainly a much more substantial knife. but that's great to hear you're so pleased with the other one That's still my favourite Lambsfoot frame

Nice pic Ed

Very good Mike!

Thanks Harvey, there's some nice countryside close to where I live now in Leeds, but I grew up with the Peak District just up the road, and I do miss it That's a wonderful photo, what great stag

Despite the rain here, I've been picking blackberries in my garden I wouldn't normally pick them in the wet, but the brambles were heaving with ripe fruit, and I picked about 5lbs There'll be more in a few days

Another pic from yesterday

 

I usually just make pies and crumbles Harvey, but there are a lot this year. I've put most of the ones I picked today in the freezer, and I have about a pound I'll make a crumble with in the next couple of days. I bought some strawberries today, so I might have a few blackberries with those



These are just from the patch in my gardens, but there are brambles all over here, and so few people pick them these days Crazy, they are the most expensive summer fruits in the supermarket here!

A few pics I prepared earlier
