Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Granted it's not a lambsfoot, but the canoe modded blade is about as close as I can come - it does share some similarities to a tapered lambsfoot ...

I agree with you on the sweetness of Drambuie Dylan, hence the 1-2 whisky mix ;) If I add whisky, or in this case whiskey, it is typically Jameson's, I drink my malts on their own :)

I have been searching all over for a special knife I intended to gift someone- but haven't found it yet! o_O I think the problem is my pre-Xmas 'tidying-up'! :confused: I have been very short of time lately, and have a pile of knives I need to fettle, clean, and sharpen :rolleyes:

Thanks my friend, I'm hoping to get over to Wright's the following week as I've promised to pick up a few things for various folks, and I also want to talk to them about a few things :thumbsup:

That's a nice pic Dylan, I keep meaning to take a few pile-side pics, 90% of the ones I have taken have been taken by mistake! o_O :D

Hope you're having a great Sunday yourself :thumbsup:

I think your Guardians edition has likely seen the most use out of the lot of them! Great to see that you are making it earn its keep. ;)

Oh yeah jack use it everyday. Once I got it sharp it keeps a great edge just a light touch up here and there. Also the pocket slip has really softened up and became almost unnoticed while in the pocket.

That's nice to hear Keith :) Did you sort out the issue with the horn/exposed bolster? Mine is due to be sharpening again, been eating a lot of cardboard lately! :D

Thanks for the kind words, it was a lucky find :) :thumbsup:

Yes I did I just buffed the sharp edge down and left it at that. I figured that it’s a user that I’ll keep forever so those little things make it my knife and will leave it with stories years down the road.

Well, folks, count me in to the horn shrinkage club. Last week I realized that the pins on the pile side of my Buffalo A. Wright were feeling a bit proud of the horn and, upon closer inspection, that the heel end had shrunk just enough that the brass liners are barely visible around it. The mark side is still fine, though. To be honest, I'm not sure whether I would have given it much thought had it not been for reading about the more significant shrinkage issues that others have encountered.

This knife is going into its second autumn in my possession. I vaguely remember noticing some seasonal changes last winter, but don't recall noticing them during the summer. It could be that this minor shrinkage has been present all year—with me forgetting about or no longer noticing it—but I'm hopeful that my tactile memory is correct and this is an annual cycle for this knife in my climate.

I'm curious about that and am going to treat this as an experiment. I'm not going to do anything to condition the horn other than give it a bit of a rub with mineral oil when I lubricate the joint later today. I did that once last year, too, not because of shrinkage, but because the horn was looking a bit dull. It's looking a bit dull now, too.

I'll report back with the results in the spring. Meanwhile, I hope those facing more serious problems with their horn handles are having success with the mitigation methods that have been discussed here.

I'm very pleased to report that the horn on my buffalo A. Wright Lambsfoot has returned almost completely to normal. The light rubbing with mineral oil may have helped, but I suspect it is more attributable to getting some moisture in our weather again. Either way, I'm happy it's back to normal and will try to remember this when/if it happens again next fall.
 
Good to hear Greg. I can feel the pins on my Guardians knife but I’m not sure if I could feel them when I recived it. So I’ll keep a eye on it for sure now going to give a little mineral oil rub later today. It’s been super dry here because of the cold hope that’s all it is. Please keep us updated to any changes you see in the future.

That's great news Greg, and it must be nice to know you don't need to buy a weather barometer my friend ;) :thumbsup:
