:confused: Clear as mud, Jack :p

So, I have a big'un and a middle'un. (33, and 31?) If I want a small'un, I should look for a 132?

Yeah, sorry! :rolleyes: Yeah, 'cept the Guardians pattern is a SFO, which wasn't actually allocated a Wright's reference number! o_O The 132 is a 'Senator' Lambsfoot without file-work, the little 'un is the 311/4, I think! :confused:

Got it! I sure wish I could just walk down to my local cutlery shop and see 'em all.

Me too! :) Even the few brick and mortar knife stores which still exist here generally only carry a few patterns, and the factory isn't set up for retail sales at all. I'd love to see one of those old-style display boards with all the patterns on :)

Now that would be something to see! It couldn't be all that difficult to put together and would be a rather simple effort towards some semblance of marketing...

Took out my horn clad beauties this morning as the sun was starting to come up and snapped a couple of pics.

Nice morning pictures, Dylan!! Warms my heart!! Beautiful subjects help!!

So, I finally got my "big'un" back from a trip to a good friend who sharpens knives professionally. I can accomplish a reasonably usable edge on a knife, but can't come close to what this man can do.
The knife in question is of course the bottom one, with a group of others that traveled with it. This Lambsfoot was a gift from mr. "single-blade" knife himself!!:) Thanks Jack L!!
You will notice the original finish is a bit uneven - must have been a late friday afternoon knife!:rolleyes:
But it works well and takes a wicked edge!! It is, in a word, Sharp!!:cool:
I am becoming an apostle of professional service at certain points in the use of a knife.;)
It is my intention to finally seek the heart and soul of a Lambsfoot. So, I will temporarily retire my KOTY <D-E>, and only carry this Lambsfoot for a month or three!!o_O
I will of course, report back here!!

Yeah, I really don't know why they don't make one up? Maybe just haven't thought of it?

Wow! You really take some great pics Dylan, you've captured those two beautifully :thumbsup:

Generous, as always Jack :) Yeah, I think Wright's leave the Rosewood models until Friday Charlie! ;) :D That looks like a great edge my friend, and it's fantastic that you're finally taking the plunge. Hope you'll share your thoughts and observations with us as the months progress :) :thumbsup:

Looks like you use your big'un a fair bit, Rachel! I am just embarking on that path!
I will of course report back here with how it performs!

Looking forward to hearing how you find the big old boy Charlie :thumbsup:

I'm back to black today ;)

Greg is currently putting a lot of work into making a full index for the thread :) Looking through it though, there are still a lot of posts with pictures missing due to the Photobucket code no longer being supported. This makes it harder to produce a full index, and can make some of the discussion harder to follow. It'd really make a difference if the Guardians concerned could edit their posts, and either upload images directly via BF, or post alternative (non-Photobucket) code from another image hosting service :thumbsup: I'd be grateful for your assistance folks :thumbsup: - smiling-knife smiling-knife (posts 19, 75, 114, 319, 331), @supratentorial (posts 116, 237, 255, 256). @philllll (post 182), bonzodog bonzodog (posts 185, 204, 215, ), mazdamattc (post 233), @StoneBeard (post 294), @ADEE (post 296), @mike Berkovitch (post 316), @Campbellclanman (post 341), H herder (posts 426, 433, 449, 468) - That's just the first 25 pages! - :eek: Thanks to everyone who has already taken the trouble to edit their PB-affected posts :thumbsup:
 
That is a wonderful index put together by WhittlinAway!!! Is there a way to make it a sticky in the beginning of this thread? I had to go back several pages to find it again.
Thanks for the reminder of missing pictures and I will go back and ad what I can.
