Great reading- Great Viewing, I am going along Great too- so today is Great! lol




What a STUNNER this knife is- Thank you Jack once again for all your very, very hard work you put in to make this A.Wright Special Factory Order come together! just an amazing Knife - kinda cool because Jack handed this very knife to me in person in York- Does it get better than this when it comes to carrying a special knife?

Well, Jack will NOT like any non-lambsfoot knives posted in this thread. Best to edit or delete. Just saying....
 
Hello Ulix and welcome. Just to reiterate what was previously said, the Hartshead Barlow is an SFO. My advice was and is, to lurk at first and to read the link offered in the first post. SFOs are occasionally offered to those who regularly participate. I also said that we don’t discuss the buying process and only post Lambsfoot images, and no other patterns. Any discussion of such concerns are best handled via PM(which is one of the many benefits of BFs membership).

This is a great group and I wish you the best.


Hi @@cigarrodog and all Guardians,

I'm really sorry for hijacking the thread and not following
the "don’t discuss the buying process" advice. I thought not discussing the buying process was more intented to not post any links of retailers... well I now know. I'm sorry about that! (I will post another question in my previous thread, since one question is still unclear. Sadly I'm not able to post in my old thread... @@cigarrodog: what do you mean by "read the link offered in the first post", in which thread?)

All the Best.

Hello.
I will try to help explain what Harvey was saying. By the way, Harvey is @cigarrodog -notice the slightly different spelling than the person you tagged. (@cigardog)
Harvey was saying to read the first post in this "Guardians of the lambsfoot" thread, the thread you are in now. I might add to read the first few pages of this thread as it might help answer some of your questions.

I have copied the first post of this thread below and taken the liberty of highlighting, in red, some of the points that apply to this conversation.

OK folks, it had to happen - There's a new cult in town!! :eek: :D :thumbsup:

This thread is dedicated to the appreciation of this quintessential English pattern, and for those who appreciate its subtle lines, its usefulness, and its history. All Lambsfoot posts and pics are welcome here :thumbsup:

Update: 8th July 2019

I started this thread to try and educate members here about the Lambsfoot pattern, and as a place where those of us who have come to appreciate this uniquely versatile blade, can discuss its history and its usefulness, show off our knives, and otherwise appreciate its beauty. I never expected that this thread would grow in the way that it has, thanks in no small part to a great bunch of intelligent, insightful, and friendly regular posters, nor that the Lambsfoot pattern, long neglected on the US side of The Pond, would gain such popularity.

This thread is for LAMBSFOOT knives only, please don’t gratuitously post photos containing other patterns. In a few cases, it may be acceptable to post a photo of another knife for discussion purposes in relation to the Lambsfoot pattern, a fake for example, or one with a very similar blade shape, but please do not post Sheepsfoot pics here, for example, simply because you don’t know the difference between that pattern and a Lambsfoot (just read on and learn the difference). Similarly, don’t post photos containing other knives simply because you cannot be bothered to edit an old photo.

We have enjoyed some wide-ranging off-topic discussion here, but the Lambsfoot has to remain the focus of this thread, so please try and bear that in mind. If you want to have an extended discussion about an off-topic issue, take it to Carl’s Lounge. As with the rest of The Porch, political and religious discussion is off limits here, if you want to rail against some group or government, please do it elsewhere.

The Porch was set up for the purpose of non-commercial discussion about traditional knives - to talk about KNIVES, not the BUYING OF KNIVES. As per the sub-forum guidelines, please keep questions about buying and selling out of this thread. If you see a knife you like the look of, and would like to purchase something similar, please contact the owner privately to ask about where they bought it, rather than in this thread. To send a Private Message you will need to be a paying Bladeforums member, but membership can be purchased inexpensively and helps to support the site, as well as making your experience here better.


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.

There is also a Guardians world map showing the international tentacles of Guardianship. If you would like to be added, please contact @btb01 with your whereabouts.

I run a Lambsfoot email list for the regular posters in this thread, on which I send out a few emails per year. If you post here regularly, and would like to be added, please contact me with your email address.

If you are a new poster, and are wondering how to post photos here, you will find good advice in the Technical Forum, this is not the place to practice :thumbsup:

Welcome to the Guardians of the Lambsfoot thread

Thank you Ramrodmb Ramrodmb for making the effort and posting the clarification and, well I really enjoy your Hartshead with its deep groves (especially the first picture with the red contrast)!

No problem, sir.:thumbsup: Thanks for the nice comments about the HHB! I agree, it's a great knife with beautiful Stag, thank you. I hope my first reply did not seem rude in any way as I surely did not intend that.:thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians! I like to shoot my air rifle. I also have a target set up in my basement for some winter trigger time. It's so quiet that I don't need any hearing protection.

I own a Beeman RX 2 air gun. No so quiet as your air gun I'm sure. It is a monster. What are you shooting? Your HHB is awesome!
