Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[c-mac]

Thought I’d get in on the comics and lambfoot postings so here mine. I always looked forward to my family in Scotland sending me Beano comics a as a kid. Dennis and Gnasher were always my favorite.

 

[JohnDF]

They're GR-R-REAT!

Perfect!!!

 

[Jack Black]

I'd buy one, and thanks Jack. I have a question to put before you...View attachment 1266902
Is the above blade good to be hafted after heat treat and called a lambsfoot? I've been so inspired by others projects I had to do one. I had originally forged this into a spear point and had it on a friction folder. And are lambsfoots allowed to be friction folders?
If it's no good I'll edit it out and whatnot. Thanks guys.
Edit: just saw you aren't feeling well Jack Black I'd finish that night cap and maybe have 2 or 3 more and hit the sack, hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

it was all for naught... Cracked the blade near the ricasso on heat treat. Gotta start from scratch when I get a chance to crank up the forge.

Sorry to hear that didn't work out Willie. The Lambsfoot blade does come as a friction folder, though not a common one. It's one of the variants of the Sheldon Knife

Here's the Lambsfoot blade from one of those.

I'm finishing out the week with the Ebony Big-un. I'd better switch it up next week, the rest of the flock is getting jealous.

Nice to see you're enjoying the Big 'Un Rachel

I was buying comics in the 1960's to early 1970's, when Stan Lee wrote Spider-Man, and most of the Marvel comics, it seems. In the early '70's they started reprinting the Spider-Man series in a book called Marvel Tales. I don't know if they reprinted any other series. Spider-Man was the most popular. In the early '70's you could still pick up old comics at used bookstores for pennies. Not like it is now. Every one in a plastic bag and overpriced. Comics were better then, and written mostly for young people. Family friendly, like the Porch. Too much weirdness out there now.

When I started buying US comics in the the mid to late 60's, they were often from the early 60's. Later, in the early 70's, they produced British editions of Spiderman, the Hulk, and a few other US superheroes, reprinting the stories from the beginning, but mostly with monotone colours. Even the US imports were cheap though, they've priced kids out of the market today. I stayed with someone in London about 30 years ago, and he said, "I heard you're into comics, would you like to see some?" He had this incredible collection, all sealed against the air, they were just an 'investment' for him

I hope you have a good night and feel much better tomorrow, Jack.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Hope you feel better quickly.

Thanks a lot for your kind words fellers, I'm touched, I've just been a little under the weather the past few days

How about an ancient weapon and a good blaster? It goes without saying that the lambsfoot is nearby.

That's cool your Lambsfoot fits the pouch Christian

Winding down after a somewhat stressful week knowing next week won't be great either enjoy the weekend folks

Hope the coming week is contrary to your expectations Stephen, and that you, at least, have a relaxing weekend

Good Morning Guardians
Happy Weekend to you all
I hope Jack is feeling better today

Thanks again John, you're a kind soul Hope you're having a great weekend

They're GR-R-REAT!

LOL! Love the Ironwood on your knife Mike

Nice to hear you're a Dennis and Gnasher fan c-mac , but that's a Sheepsfoot in your pic, so I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to edit your post. Thanks

Hi Guardians,

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend I had a trip out to North Yorkshire today, a short, but pleasant walk in the woods, some slingshot practice, and a nice lunch in a country pub

Just a reminder folks, I know it's easy to slip, but discussion of politics and religion doesn't belong in this thread, nor on The Porch in general. If you're not familiar with them, please read the sub-forum rules (and post #1 in this thread)

Love your Horn Lambsfoot on the cover with all the sunset colors.

Thank you, kind sir!!

Good Evening Guardians. Late night edition.

That photo is "Golden"!

LOL! Well done Dennis Great to see your golden oxhorn Lambsfoot

Thanks, Jack! It's a treat to carry!

My mate from the tool-stall gifted me another razor yesterday

Such very cool slicey gear!

Yeah! Cool photo David, I hope you've got the weekend off

It's all fun and games till a monster eats your favorite knife!!

Cool futuristic shot of your oxhorn (not "osborn", darn spell checker ), Dennis!

Thanks, Gary!

Thanks for the compliments on my pics. The "stone" to which you refer is the top of a hand pump (you can see the spout to the left) attached to the "fish cleaning table" on the dock at the cottage rental place we stay each summer for a week or two

Ok, boy, I missed that one bigtime! I use to have a metate I found out in the hills in NM, I'll have to see if my folks still have it back home.

Makes one wonder who's guarding whom!

Looks like a culpable couple!!

Thank you, Dennis.
That video had me laughing so hard I was crying.
Probably because I have way too many of those things in my life.
I guess I'm white and nerdy... but in my defense, my son is WAY worse than I am.

It seemed to check too many boxes not to post!

Thanks mate, yes indeed...

He had the best battle cry of all of them!!

Nice Solo Carry.

!!

Everybody wants a lambsfoot these days...

That "terrible lizard "!!

Looked in yesterday but was too tired to post after another round with a CAT Scan and a needle biopsy

Standard with Buffalo Horn covers..

.

Dang, I hope things get sorted out quickly for you, Ed!
Cool photo!

I'll be having another early night tonight, and hoping to feel better tomorrow, and go out for a stroll. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend

Hope you're feeling better, Jack. Great medication anyway! A hot toddy seems to help!

Good Morning Guardians
Happy Weekend to you all
I hope Jack is feeling better today

Looks like a rosey morning, John!

Great shot of your '19, José!

They're GR-R-REAT!

Yes it is! I wonder if they would consider changing out the tiger for a Lamb packing a Lambsfoot?

I always looked forward to my family in Scotland sending me Beano comics a as a kid. Dennis and Gnasher were always my favorite.

I think the Dennis' of this world get a bad wrap!

Wifey made some blueberry scones, since I've been bugging her for some since SOMBODY keeps posting photos of them and his HHB!
Have a great Saturday, All!

I've just been a little under the weather the past few days

Hopefully you'll be back to full strength quickly.

Sounds like a fun way to spend a morning.

It sure beats my "To-Do" list I've been working on.

Apparently I can't spell late at night...

 

[cigarrodog]

Jack Black - Hope things are going better for you Jack. Beautiful light on your walk. Makes the character of your sweet Hartshead come out even more.

mitch4ging - Thank you kindly, Dennis. Quite proper is your Hartshead with scone.

Good Afternoon Guardians.

 

[Jack Black]

I carry a Lambsfoot...

Because it has zarjaz thrill-power!

Thanks a lot Dennis I was never that into the Fantastic Four, but you're right, 'It's Clobbering Time!' was definitely the best battle-cry Dennis the Menace has always been my favourite super-hero That looks like a scrumptios scone my friend, great pic with your Hartshead Barlow

 

[Norcaldude]

It's game day!

The last time my 88-year-old dad came to visit, he insisted on riding the cart, and backing up as much as possible, just to make the incredibly loud I'M BACKING UP BEEP! BEEP! noise. Yes, he can walk, but wanted to prove he could still embarrass his middle aged daughter.

Haha! I like your dad.

How about an ancient weapon and a good blaster? It goes without saying that the lambsfoot is nearby.

I'll even take the religion.

Everything you need for a visit to any wretched hive of scum and villainy.

That's good mate, hope you have a decent walk. I'm hoping to get out around Knaresborough, but it's likely to be muddy with all the rain of the last 24 hours

Aye it was absolute quagmire on the moors in places but a good day out all the same.
Hope you enjoyed Knaresborough.
Today.

Thanks for the info Jack, I'll definitely be trying again, gotta go friction folder due to my lack of tools.

 

[Modoc ED]

A Standard Lambfoot that ran afoul of a pair of Channel Locks, a fan belt, and a hay mowing machine.

Pretty rough.

Pieces squished and squeezed together.

First bandage electrician's tape.

Final bandages

The knife is still a user. Solid and ready to go.

One day somebody is going to find that and wonder, "If knives could speak, what stories would this one tell?"

Lol... Knife companies should be sending you knives to "torture test" for them.
A winter on the roof and running them over with lawn tractors. Can't wait for phase three.

I bet, but that looks like a great day out mate I was in Tod last weekend

Blimey Ed! At least the blade is OK Have you thought about sticking some epoxy in that crack?

One day somebody is going to find that and wonder, "If knives could speak, what stories would this one tell?"

For sure!

This old Alfred Blackwell looked like it had been run over when I picked it up I still enjoy carrying it from time to time

Have to say, you fellers who are trying to mod Lambsfoot blades out of a perfectly good Sheepsfoot seem to be going a hard way about things. There's more to a traditional Lambsfoot than the blade, and getting hold of one isn't that hard, or that expensive

It isn't hard to get a good one these days?

That knife must have been used prior to the invention of electrical tape.

Ain't that the truth. I could barely stand to reprofile the edge on my Wright's. Reshape a sheepsfoot into a lambsfoot? More trouble than it's worth...

Besides, no need to waste steel. All sheepsfoot knives become lambsfoot blades eventually.​
