Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Prester John]

Who can forget the ads in the DC comics too?!

Love those old ads. You could even order knives. Bought a cheap stiletto from one of them ads in the early '70s (probably made in Japan).

I remember the stiletto Vince The same ads seemed to run for years, but here they were were just unobtainable treasures dangled before our young eyes Probably just as well really!

Wishing all the Guardians a very Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday

Greetings Guardians! I'm embarrassingly behind on posting these, but here are the final few photos from the time I was able to spend with Linus before he headed on to Harvey.

Other than while on a business trip that I had to take while he was in my care, I carried him every day and he pitched in for all of the regular cutting duties that come up. Unfortunately, these weren't too exciting and I don't have photos of them. But, we did take a field trip to a donut making class:

There was no cutting involved in making the donuts, but Linus had fun being present and loved looking at the spread that had accumulated by the time the class was complete:

And, we did finally succeed in getting those darn Christmas lights hung on the house:

He helped open up new packs of lights to replace the ones that had failed. He also cut the electric tape that I used to keep the splices dry and the zip ties that are holding an extension cord to a gutter downspout.

While I didn't get to take him on as many photogenic adventures as I'd hoped, I enjoyed hosting Linus. It was a pleasure and and honor.

Looks like he's already having some great adventures (and showing up in some spectacular photos!) with cigarrodog . I'm looking forward to seeing what he's up to next!

Did you ever order 'Sea-Monkeys' John?

One of my first pocket-knife projects was a 'book safe'!

The only two items I can recall ordering from these comic book ads were the sea monkeys and the book safe. Both worked as advertised.

I have particularly fond memories of storing treasures away in the cardboard-and-plastic book safe.

I will admit to puerile curiosity regarding the x-ray specs. While I never ordered a pair, I suspect they did *not* work as advertised.

Edited to add (and stay on topic): This beauty is accompanying me on this unseasonably warm day.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Great image of your Hartshead in that beautiful handmade dish of candy. As a kid, I always wanted to checkout the X-Ray Specs.

WhittlinAway - Thank you Greg for the gourmet bar of dark chocolate. Very nice. It’s never too belated to post your Linus adventures image.

Good Morning Guardians.

Took Linus for another walking adventure. Started with Breakfast. Cheesy Tostados and very hot, hot sauce.

Time to walk...

Linus really enjoyed the chocolate, gifted from Greg.

Those are fine-looking doughnuts

Cool! Weren't the sea monkeys just water fleas or something? Or were they really like little people?! I used to keep my cap gun in my book safe (strangely, it was another 20 years before I read a detective novel)!

That IS a beauty my friend Charlie really should be proud of those knives, all his SFOs have been incredible, but that Lambsfoot is HISTORY

Thank you Harvey, @CelloDan is multi-talented

Yeah, I wanted to check out the X-Ray Specs too, so much so that I even went to see the band

Wow! That is a GREAT breakfast Harvey! I wish I could get that for breakfast in Yorkshire I might have to do some research Beautiful photos, lucky old Linus!

I'm just trying to make some room in the fridge

 

[black mamba]

Cheers to all the Guardians, and may your holidays be filled with peace and good will to all!

 

[cigarrodog]

Jack Black - Thank you kindly, Jack. Until you travel to my neck of the woods, I’ll share the simple recipe. Take a box of frozen Tostados, place 6 on a paper plate. Zap it for 60 seconds. Take it out, smother it in sharp, shredded cheddar. Zap it it for another 60 seconds. A sprinkle of Parmesan is optional. so is a light toasting. Take it to the living room. Wait...You forgot the Sriracha and to give Ari a modest share of Cheddar.

Your Hartshead is quite the Zelig. Fine assortment of images.

Between the broad dialect and the harsh tone, I could have done with subtitles on the Xray Specs Germ-free Adolescent.

Those sea-monkeys looked nothing like the picture.

 

[JohnDF]

I was waiting for a good Linus and Chocolate picture. Well done!

I'm just trying to make some room in the fridge

Looks like you cleaned out the whole fridge.

Really?

I need a bigger fridge!

Brine shrimp.

I posted in the daily totin' thread that I was carrying my new Forum Knife, but this afternoon I noticed it on the table. I checked my pocket and it seems, out of habit, I grabbed the ebony big-un that had been laying next to it.

Been there, Done that.
Not sure if it's a factor of age or having too dang many knives. I'm sure it's the latter in your case.

Modded a GEC 93 into a lambfoot to keep my A. Wright company. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

 

[cudgee]

Merry Christmas to all my fellow lads[and girls] on the porch. Hope you all have a fantastic and safe Christmas, with family and friends. Just remember- "Booze is brewed to be drunk and Food is Grown to be eaten". It seems that half of our country is on fire over here, a dire situation for many who will not be having a good or safe Christmas. They are effecting some of the members on the blade forum, and i wish them all the best and a safe Christmas, i will be praying for them. Merry Xmas all.

 

[waynorth]

I have been hoping we don't hear bad news about any forum members!!
May you all have a Cool Christmas!!

Great to see you here mate, you and our other Australian members, have been in my thoughts a lot over the past couple of weeks. Hope you all have a safe and Happy Christmas, and that you get some kinder temperatures and a cessation of bushfires soon
