Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

I'd rather skin a knee than lose a favorite item of clothing. Especially if you can't replace those items easily. Hope you find some suitable replacements and that your bumps and bruises heal quickly.

Me too John, I had several pairs of those trousers, but 5.11 stopped making them, and the ones I was wearing were straight out of the bag I'm certainly not short of other things to wear though, thankfully Thank you my friend, I've certainly had worse

Good Morning Guardians
It will be a lazy day at home, doing little chores and watching football...

Lovely ebony WCLF John

Here is my Guardian.

In the top photo is my first Lambsfoot. I gave it to a friend who raises sheep. I figured he deserved it more than me! The bottom photo is my latest and greatest.

Great pics Leslie

Jack what a beautiful old Lambsfoot. Charlie is one of the kindest, most generous individuals I’ve had the pleasure to meet in person.

I’m sorry to hear of your tumble Jack! I hope all is well with you my friend. I know how we can become attached to certain items of favorite clothing and other personal items such as watches. Even if they are discontinued items it’s still better than a broken bone or a cut that requires stitches!

Today in my carries I’ve included this 2018 Ebony Guardians SFO. I hope y’all have a blessed day!

Thank you for all your kind words Ron, Charlie is a treasure I sure hope we get to meet one day, just chatting to him on the phone is a joy

I sure don't need another broken bone!

Nice pic my friend

Buffalo Horn "Big-un" says; Good Morning

Stunning Taylor

Thanks John! I hope you enjoy your day of Football watching, minus the chores! Agree with you on the skinned knee as well.
Hope you're OK and watch your step today Jack Black !

Thanks buddy

Ouch!! hope you are OK!! The watch and pants can be fixed/repaired/replaced!!
Glad the treasure was OK!!(Whatever it is!!??)

Thank you Charlie, I'll be fine pal I will have to find the right thread to show the treasure! Unfortunately, I am now going to have to spend some time browzing watch forums!

Out for a Harty walk today!! Gotta walk a bit every day - maybe we'll find a new Cafe that offers a healthy lunch!!
With me today:

Smashing pic Charlie, hope you enjoyed your walk

Jack, sorry to hear of your pains . . . heal quickly!

Thank you very much Jeff

Charlie, Linda and I stopped at A&W and had Teen Burgers, I feel 20 years younger today.

Maybe I need some Teen Burgers!

Jack Black - That’s a sweet Rogers Lamb, Jack.

Hello Guardians.

Spotted this view on a walk with Ari.

Thank you Harry, super photos

Lovely Lambsfoot Dave

I've not heard that phrase before, but it certainly conveys a clear word picture!

Me neither Gary, it was off the cuff

The joke is not that great, but I really like to think about the subject matter (individualism vs. postmodern tribalism, stereotyping, etc.).
A grasshopper walks into a bar, and the bartender greets him warmly, saying, "We're glad to see you here! We even serve a drink named after you!" The grasshopper replies, "Why would you name a drink 'Bob'??"

I figured that was the one! The version here was written by a gentleman called Barry Cryer in the days when there was whisky called 'White Horse' on sale in pubs. Since you don't see the whisky anymore, you don't hear the joke anymore, but it was very common once.

A white horse walks into a pub. The barman says, "Hey, we've got a whisky named after you!" The horse replies, "Why do they call it Eric?"

I'm looking forward to that HHB, Jack; thanks for all your efforts!

It's packaged up and ready to go in the mail today my friend I'm sorry Wright's took so long to make you a replacement

Yowza! You're an acrobat, Jack! Glad you and your treasure weren't badly damaged.
Looking forward to seeing your purchase

Not anymore I'm afraid! Thank you Gary, I'll try and get the treasure photographed over the next couple of days

Canadian Split Pea Soup for dinner the lambsfoot is a 2018 SFO
View attachment 1209046

That looks delicious Dave

I love Split Pea Soup, yours looks delicious. Our season for soup is coming to an end.

I was just thinking that we're coming into soup and stew season the other day With our miserable wet winters, you need something to look forward to!

As far as I'm concerned, all year is soup season.

Good point!

The flock keeps growing but it still needs another Hartshead Barlow, perhaps two, and a couple/three more Lambfoot with ebony covers.

Fantastic flock Ed

Was at a Sunday market yesterday, lots of old tools and good stuff. Saw this and reminded me of my Dad's tool collection. Had a look at it, and in good condition, it's a Rabone,boxwood made in England 36 inch carpenters ruler, not cheap made in Asia junk. Handed over $10, would have paid $30, the bloke next to me, looked at me and said" i was going to buy that," he offered me $20, i said i was not interested. We got talking, really nice bloke, turned out he was a dealer with a couple of shops. He really wanted it as he said because of it's condition he would have no trouble getting $40 for it. Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. Wish i had this sort of luck at buying knives. Hope you all have a good week.

Nice find my friend, I buy a lot of that sort of stuff I saw a couple of nice Rabone spirit-levels on Saturday, but it is the Chesterman tools I collect

I am ridiculously far behind, but what great posts!!
I'll just catch a few from recent posts, I apologize for the ones I missed!

Fantastic photo, Dave! It dropped to the low 60's today, I almost froze!

Great shot of your SFO Barlow, Kevin!

That looks like an excellent pair, Harvey!


Glad you weren't hurt bad, Jack! Shame about your watch and britches!

Wonder Double-Lamb shot! Real vivid!

Two very special SFO's, and well photographed, Ron!

Both very worthy of carry, José!!

Beautiful, Dan!

A wonderful looking Lambsfoot, Jack!
We were driving past a garage sale several months ago, and I wound up coming home with an unlabeled hewing ax head. Don't see myself hewing many logs anytime soon, but couldn't pass it up!

Super Stealth Black Lamb! Looking good, John!!

Great Jack-o-Lamb, Bill!

Great looking "Guardian ", Greg! Real generous of you with the give away one!

Btw, didn't mention it before, but my folks use to live in Slidell before moving back to NM, and an old army buddy just retired from the Baton Rouge PD, lives up by Clinton. Need to go out and see him soon.

Wonderful shot of your Ebony SFO, Ron!!
Hated missing out on the '18 ebony!

Cool snapshot of your Big-un, Ed!

Great stuff, Taylor! Quite a stunning Lamb!

Great photo of your SFO HHB, and MORE great looking turquoise, Charlie!

It's not the same A&W from our childhood...
But your SFO Barlow looks great!

Both a great view, Harvey! Love those DamLamb's!

Very cool photo, Dave! I'll take a 8x10 matt finish!

A very handsome Stag Lamb, Gary! Love the overall shape of it!

.........um........spli.....pea.......,I do love your '18 SFO, Dave!

Quite the herd you got going, Ed!

Two awsome looking tools! Great score!

Mine today. Can't stop carrying Jack's designed SFO HHB! Such a great knife to have handy, really is a special!

I know the feeling my friend! Thanks for the very kind words, and for that great pic

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

 

[Jack Black]

Another wet day here, and I'm off to the post office. Nothing fragile about this Needham Lambsfoot

 

[Campbellclanman]

Tank Lambsfoot Jack lol

Good to see you Dennis! Thanks for all the kind words. The ‘18 Ebony Guardians SFO is a special knife indeed. So is your Stag Hartshead Barlow SFO and well photographed too my friend!

Thank you for all your kind words Ron, Charlie is a treasure I sure hope we get to meet one day, just chatting to him on the phone is a joy

I sure don't need another broken bone!

Nice pic my friend

Thanks Jack! Charlie is a treasure as are you my friend! What I would give to be in attendance at that meeting. It would be mind boggling at the knife knowledge available! And besides, I’ve known Charlie for five years and based on my correspondence with you over the years I will say that you guys are cut from the same cloth.

Another wet day here, and I'm off to the post office. Nothing fragile about this Needham Lambsfoot

Jack your Needham looks like a very stout Lambsfoot indeed!

 

[Half/Stop]

I’m off to the dentist this morning because I’ve got a crown that keeps coming off. I’m afraid I’m going to end up with an implant. I dread that because I know it will eat into my knife budget! I’m going to carry my Jack Black SFO Rosewood Hartshead Barlow.

 

[dc50]

Looks like a fine, rich soup, Dave!! Making me hungry!!
I'll be right over!!

That would be great Charlie!

Hang on, have you booked??? Dave only has so many seats.

You fellows are more than welcome,theres still room left in the loft.

Fantastic photo, Dave! It dropped to the low 60's today, I almost froze!

haha poor bugger that's the opposite of me when the temp reaches the 90's

Very cool photo, Dave! I'll take a 8x10 matt finish!

You got it!

.........um........spli.....pea.......,I do love your '18 SFO, Dave!

Thank you, Dennis, for the complements

Mine today. Can't stop carrying Jack's designed SFO HHB! Such a great knife to have handy, really is a special!

Great photo of a one of a kind lambsfoot, courtesy of Jack Black.

Maybe I need some Teen Burgers!

Jack do you have A&W's over there?

Lovely Lambsfoot Dave

Thank you kindly, my friend.

That looks delicious Dave

lol, Ron, I know I need a tune-up at the Dentist as well, but I too secretly keep it to myself from the Missus I don't want to miss out on purchasing another lambsfoot.

 

[Cambertree]

Hey Guardians,

I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

Just dropping in to say hello, and that Ol’ Ironsides has been a steady companion.

In fact, he’s been hogging the pocketspace so much, I’m still yet to get a good patina on the outstanding Hartshead and Waynorth Lambsfoot knives, which are patiently waiting in the EDC queue!

 

[natchezz]

Cambertree Chin, outstanding setting for your lambfoot! Your knife looks well sharpened, unlike most non-vintage ones I see on here looking like the untouched factory edge and/or bevel. Don't get me wrong, they are all beautiful works of art!

Chin, old Ironsides has outstanding character, for me its the poster boy of what a user lambsfoot should look like

 

[JohnDF]

Super Stealth Black Lamb! Looking good, John!!

Thank you, my friend.

It's a great picture of it too, Dennis.

Another wet day here, and I'm off to the post office.

Be careful out there. Watch your step.

Nothing fragile about this Needham Lambsfoot

What a great looking two blade Lamb. It certainly looks capable.

Super picture, Ron. Good luck today.

Ol’ Ironsides has been a steady companion.

Your picture makes me want to pull out my Ironwood SFO and use it. Nice to see you checking in, Chin.

 

[JohnDF]

Good Monday Morning Guardians
Mondays are reserved for staff meetings, committee meetings, PLC, and such (no students). My boss won't be in today, so it's a couple of very quick meetings and then back home. Not a bad way to start the week.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Love the scales on your MM Sheffield Barlow. I hope to get one soon with Rams Horn but after seeing yours I can only hope it is as nice.

Thank you very much Bill.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Those ebony Guardians lambsfoots are Wooden Wednesday Winners, José & Ron, no matter what day you carry them!

Thank you very much Gary.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Both very worthy of carry, José!!

Many thanks Dennis.

 

[Pt-Luso]

 

[JohnDF]

Chin's picture of his well-loved Ironwood SFO had me thinking of how nice those Ironwood knives look with some miles on them. Up until now I've babied mine and haven't really used it, preferring to keep it new looking. But, since I have the Hartshead in the safe, I see no reason to keep the Ironwood new any longer. I am going to make it a point to carry Skoll for the rest of the month of October. After all, Halloween is coming and the Wolf wants to howl!!!

In my pocket... Sorry for the shiny pic, I'm on the way out the door.

 

[Half/Stop]

lol, Ron, I know I need a tune-up at the Dentist as well, but I too secretly keep it to myself from the Missus I don't want to miss out on purchasing another lambsfoot.

I know what you mean Dave! Luckily I got by with no charge today!

Super picture, Ron. Good luck today.

Thanks John! Like I told Dave, I got lucky today!

 

[Modoc ED]

Good morning everyone. It's this Jack Black SFO Stag Hartshead Barlow today. What a special knife that Jack Black created for us.

 

[Modoc ED]

I’m off to the dentist this morning because I’ve got a crown that keeps coming off. I’m afraid I’m going to end up with an implant. I dread that because I know it will eat into my knife budget! I’m going to carry my Jack Black SFO Rosewood Hartshead Barlow.

Half/Stop - That's not good and can be expensive. Here's a British Crown you can have to fix your tooth if need be. I don't know about the fit but it fits nicely with this L'll one.
