There is in fact no nail nick on the 93.c-mac - Is it just the lighting that makes it look like there is no nail nick left on the #93 or is there actually no nail nick left on that #93? How about another picture?

Thanks for the reply. The taper from the heel (run up) of the tang is very good now. Good job. Does the blade pinch open easily? Are you thinking of making an "easy open" notch?

Luckily the 93 has a lighter pull so it’s very easily pinchable. I don’t think I’ll do an easy open notch. I have considered re-adding a nail nick but it’s not really needed.

Thanks Jack, I have a feeling I will be spending quite a bit of time there. I hear they like to pile on the overtime.Kevin, I'm really glad you've found a good place to work, makes a huge difference, bearing in mind the amount of time most folks spend thereGood to see Betty
Thanks GT, That space age fairing isn't such a bad idea.Glad to hear the job is going well. Interesting video; will you be riding a bike with some kind of space age fairing soon??The senator is grateful for your vote!
Bam-Ba-Lamb! Old Black Betty has a nice pair of shoes!
Beautiful Betty.
Betty says "thanks". I think she may have blushed a little.
Happy weekend, y,all.

I never replied to the Knife of the Year thread, but I’m submitting my choice here.
When Jack posted the thread, I was stunned to see the iron wood guardians knife...I had completely forgotten that happened in 2019 as well! It truly was the year of the Lambsfoot!
My submission didn’t get the most pocket time; it’s not that kind of knife for me, but it does get carried and used as appropriate. It was the knife that I got to commemorate the birth of my daughter, child #3. The right, special, knife coming around at the right time!

Been a bit absent as of late, having to deal with things on the home and family front.
I hope everyone is having a good 2020 so far. In the likely absence of further Lambsfoot SFOs (on both sides of the pond), I am resolved to carry one of Jack's finest more throughout the year. 2019 will surely be remembered with great fondness as the "Year of the Lambsfoot".
Great to see you here Dylan, hope everything is going OK for you buddy
Nice to see your Hartshead Barlow You work fast
c-mac
! Well done 
Does it pinch open OK? Carrying my Ebony WCLF today. Love the CK pocket slip too, fits perfect and great value.
Nice
Those are good slips, and fit just right Thank you Vince, hope you're enjoying your Saturday my friend
The printer works, thank heavens. It had me going for a while.
That's a relief!
I have been meaning to get a new printer and scanner for ages, and a new fridge/freezer, but even online, they are boring things to shop for 
Good Morning Guardians
Looking good John
Great-looking flock there
Nice pic Batter Up!!!
That rings the bell for me Ed
Got a little hungry...
Tasty-looking sausage sandwich and Lambsfoot pic my friend
Yep, definitely better without the EO notch
I've seen a few modded nail-nicks, which have looked messy. When they add them in Sheffield, it takes a second, as it's done by hand. They have a special tool to make the nick, and just bang it with a hammer. However, that's before the steel has been hardened, big difference Thanks Jack, I have a feeling I will be spending quite a bit of time there. I hear they like to pile on the overtime.

Hope they pay well for the overtime Kevin
Nice to see your Rosewood Hartshead Barlow Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I had a pleasant trip over to York. It has been a dull day, but wasn't raining at least, and there were a few sunny intervals.
Having had coffee before leaving home, and on the way there...
We decided to stop off for a pot of tea. We were rather amused by this fancy tea-set, but it belied a foul crime, the worst cup of tea I've had in my entire life!
The cake was good...
But after the rotten tea, I really needed something decent to drink. Fortunately, one of my favourite pubs was just across the road, The Blue Bell
After a pint of Brew York brewery's Session IPA, which is brewed 100 yards down the road, and a pint of Brass Castle 'Bad Kitty' (vanilla porter), brewed a few miles away, I felt a whole lot better

Congratulation, Mark on the new Ebony Lamb, made even nicer by your spa refinements.Happy Friday folks and good morning Jack!
Hope all you Guardians had a good holiday season and your year is off to a great start!
Apologies for my absence the last few weeks. Family from out of town and year end festivities had me running ragged and although I enjoyed it, I'm glad to see it in the rear view, tbh.
A couple new Lambsfoots made their way to me just before Christmas
Both knives needed a little work to get them where I like; both had off center blades
The first is a standard clad in Ebony. The blade was touching the mark side liner and the tip was high enough above the liners to catch a finger on. While I was at it, I contoured the edges of the scales and ran through the grits up to about 600 then gave them a quick buffing. I'm very pleased how they turned out.
Hope you all have a great, relaxing weekend ahead.
@mitch4ging - great looking kit.

Thank you Harvey
He seemed a bit stunned! I don't think he's ever been back since, which is a good thing Great pics While I passed through Tadcaster (twice) today, this sturdy Yorkshire ale has been in my fridge since Christmas
I drank it while watching some classic 'horror'

Thank you, Jack. All is well over here, just busy as usual. Nice pics of your outing today, shame about the bad tea. A good whisky ought to fix that
.I've got the Hartshead closeby again today.

I didn't much like having to open yet another online account in order to set it up, but such is life nowadays. And it does work; the old one had ceased to.That's a relief!
