It's been a while since I had Breakfast Beer Will! I had coffee with breakfast, that was lunch - or dinner as we say round my way!
You just can't beat that old steel my friend, something magical about it
Feast your eyes!

Hubba hubba! Hard to pic the best from that bunch!
Everyone thinks they have the best Guardians Lambsfoot; and none of them are wrong.

Cool pic GT, and I hope you enjoy your breakfast I had a tea and toast when I got up, but am preparing to fix myself my Sunday morning sausage sandwich. Historically, here at least, I think 'lunch' is a relatively recent middle-class affectation, and ordinary folk, particularly in the north, say 'dinner' (which the posh folks have at supper time). Here, most folks I know refer, as in the past, to their evening meal as their 'tea' (they might get a light snack as supper later). That usage goes back a long ways, but I don't think it's as old as 'supper'. In the 1980's, while visiting a primary school I believe, Margaret Thatcher famously said, "There's no such thing as 'dinner', it's 'lunch'!", which has probably helped to keep the word 'dinner' alive in the north of England!
Interesting ruminations on usage of words for meals, Jack. Back on the farm, the meals were called breakfast, dinner, and supper, but we also had a mid-morning "coffee time" (my beverage was usually water, milk, or KoolAid, rather than coffee) that was usually spent in the kitchen. There was also a mid-afternoon break, unnamed IIRC, that often took place in the field.
Thanks for sharing pics of your handsome knives, Harry!!Don't believe that I have posted pictures of the Guardians that were taken in some good sun light yet . The Midnight Special really changes .
Neither have I posted a picture of all my Lambfoot together since I received the Wooden covered one from @mrknife . Nice Grain in the Mark Side cover .

I don't think I have the best, Greg, but I wouldn't trade mine for anyone else's!Everyone thinks they have the best Guardians Lambsfoot; and none of them are wrong.

I admire your relatively "light" breakfast. I tend to eat a massive breakfast, but then nothing except some fruit until the evening meal. My breakfast today consisted of 6 kinds of "ready-to-eat" breakfast cereals in a bowl with flax seed, peanuts, dark chocolate M&Ms, half an apple, 20 sliced grapes (green and red), and milk; second course was two pieces of toast with honey and peanut butter and a cup of hot OJ with instant coffee crystals mixed in.

Yet another poorly-lit shot of my rosewood lambsfoot near a Christmas decoration:

Hey guys have a lot of catching up to do. December work is always crazy the mills have to spend all their maintenance money before the new year or they won’t get as much next year. So That means crazy hours but good checks lol. I hope everyone is well and wish you all a great and safe holiday.
Amazing collection !!Don't believe that I have posted pictures of the Guardians that were taken in some good sun light yet . The Midnight Special really changes .
