I do not know what it is, but there is something about wood scales that is so addictive. It maybe the feel in the hand, the history, i do not know but i just love them.

All that and it's tough as nails.

My next order will probably be a small.
I've been wanting to try one of those out for carry at work.
Rosewood covers for he small?
I'd prefer Ebony, but they don't make one in Ebony.Rosewood covers for he small?
Very cool stuff, David! Love the metal work on the door!
donn - Magnificent door! Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for the fascinating info about the OLD church door, David!
Here's a pic with a beautiful Hand carved Bamboo walking stick that I was given by my Grandfather around 1986. The carvings are exquisite.
This reminds me that I never posted these photos from a few months ago:
This is the waterwheel at Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park in St. Helena, California. It’s a neat place. The mill has been restored and they give demonstrations of it in action. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Napa County and are into this sort of thing.
Watermills and windmills. I can sit there and watch them all day long. If you look real close you can see "made in England" on the wooden caliper rule.
Here's hoping for a great day for all my fellow Guardians.
Great shot.It would be quite a dilemma if the Grove Inn had Tex-Mex AND pies; how would one choose?

Morning Guardians, few pics from my hike yesterday
...(about two months ago); however, I have caught up and read all the post since the beginning of the Guardians thread.
Evening Guardians! Just passed the half-way point to my my week
Getting ready for tomorrow. Going with the two bolster I think.
Why not both? On the other hand, I live in the middle of Tex-Mex territory, and might not want "English Tex-Mex"! Okay, I'll go with pies and pints!Errr.....Pies.
Thank you for the link, Jack.Lovely pic Dave
We both found the writeup about Blue John very interesting and informative. Now we must have a goblet made up for those special occasions.
" PIES&PINTS". I'm in "HEAVEN".Why not both? On the other hand, I live in the middle of Tex-Mex territory, and might not want "English Tex-Mex"! Okay, I'll go with pies and pints!
Maybe we can find pies & pints on our birthday and toast each other!" PIES&PINTS". I'm in "HEAVEN".
Maybe I'll give it another try.I've only just jumped on the Lambfoot Band Wagon here in the Guardians thread recently (about two months ago); however, I have caught up and read all the post since the beginning of the Guardians thread. What with all that reading, it seems that some Guardians have had difficulty with the pull of the Pen blade on the Two Blade Lambfoot knife and in some cases, the Lambfoot blade too. Well, everyone here knows I'm a sucker for difficult knives so I up and ordered a Two Blade Lambfoot knife directly from the manufacturer in Sheffield, England and it arrived this past Monday. Following are pictures of the knife with a few comments from me too.
The knife is a solid, well built knife. There is absolutely no under blading of either blade and the pull for both blades is a smooth 6. The covers are Rosewood and there are no gaps, cracks, or chips in the covers or between the covers and the liners. No gaps anywhere even between the liners and springs. The blades came sharp; however, I did touch them up with a fine, white, ceramic rod. The knife is well finished with a satin finish on both blades and both blades are centered in their wells. Overall this is a first rate knife and I'm glad to have it.
My theory: I think that what with all the knives thatJack Black has had made by this manufacturer that the manufacturerer has stepped up their attention to detail and is now putting out top grade knives throughout their line. I say this because in the last month, I've purchased multiple Lambfoot blade knives from them and all of them have been blemish, issue, free. Whenever I order from the manufacturerer in their "How did you hear about us" box, I always say; "Jack Black - Blade Forums". Don't know if that has any influence but somehow I think it does.
Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to order another Two-Blade Lambfooot knife and especially, wouldn't be concerned about a difficult pull of either blade.
I didn't
Thanks Jeff!Great pic, Ron, love the blues! Me and my boy RALF havin' a cup o' Joe this morning.
