Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Prester John]

That looks really good Vince. Wish I could munch one down myself.

Hopefully soon, Ed.

 

[Half/Stop]

Yes, the Indonesian Rosewood varies quite a bit. I've been lucky in that all mine have either been SFOs or picked out at the factory (African Rosewood on the left)

That said, some of the nicest Rosewood I've seen was on the first Wright's Lambsfoot I got, which I picked out in a hardware store, and subsequently gifted to Charlie

Classic Ron carry!

Very tasty Ron

Very nice photo showing the difference between the two Rosewoods Jack. The Hardware store model was a very nicely figured example. I wonder what the odds of getting one like that would be today!? I’m sorta fond of my Rosewood big ’un. It’s definitely not a showpiece but she solid and dependable! Thanks for the compliments on the soup. It was very tasty indeed!

Taking a lunch break while working at home. Put this one to work:

Vince that’s a great looking sandwich! I’ve found a Lambsfoot to be a dandy Spam slicer. Especially the big ‘uns!

 

[AnW]

That's coming on nicely

Thanks Jack. Such a pleasure to use!

 

[JohnDF]

All of them different but all equally beautiful.

That DOES look yummy.

You've had that one a few years now haven't you Jer? Hope you manage to get to the range

So long I can't remember. I named it "Rose Beast", though, didn't I? I'll search for a clue.

I didn't get to the range today, but maybe tomorrow. High of 40 today and snowing all day today. It should be pretty well gone before we get below freezing tonight, and the sun's out now.
Also I had a video appointment with my doctor, which strained my technology past breaking point a couple of times.

You've inspired me to change my sig line.

Thant new sig line just might open up new and exciting doors for ya.

Hello stranger!! How're you doing, how's things at NASA? Nice pic of your Barlow Kevin

Thanks Jack. I can't thank you enough for making these HHB's. A brilliant design and one I will carry and use until I wear them both down to nubs.

Thanks Kevin.

"Big-un" with Buffalo Horn covers.

Milkshakes, if I were you Ed, I would be consuming a lot of milkshakes!
That Buffalo Horn Big-un is a beaut' !

Kevin! Great to see you, my friend. I hope you are keeping well.

Thank you , Dylan. I am doing well, except for a shoulder injury from a bicycle crash but that will heal. I hope to be around here a bit more in the near future.

My dog was wondering just what the heck I was doing in her regular sunbathing spot and had to come over and investigate.

 

[screened porch]

Jack Black , I received Rose Beast from you in that blue soap dish on Sept 20, 2018.

Looks like my most recent Wright. Pity my grey hairs.

I thought that was familiar.

The Lamb takes the SPAM! Nice lunch Vince, I really need to find out my SPAM T-shirt for a pic

Very nice photo showing the difference between the two Rosewoods Jack. The Hardware store model was a very nicely figured example. I wonder what the odds of getting one like that would be today!? I’m sorta fond of my Rosewood big ’un. It’s definitely not a showpiece but she solid and dependable! Thanks for the compliments on the soup. It was very tasty indeed!

Thank you very much Ron I think the chances of getting one like that today would be very low indeed. Another member here asked me if I could pick him one up just after, I went to the same store about 5 times, and not one of the ones they had in stock was decent. Unfortunately most of the outlets that sell these knives don't even care about quality, they don't check their stock, and they don't send anything back. A phrase I've heard from Wright's in recent times is, "You're the only one who complains." Yes I do, 20% of the Hartshead Barlows went back, because they weren't good enough. It was a pain in the backside to have to take them back, but I didn't want any knives which were second-rate. I think that firm would rather turn out second-rate goods, and sadly, they deal with people who are willing to accept it from them, or too clueless to spot the faults

I feel the same way about my Rosewood Big 'Un, it's a honest working knife, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done

Your soup sure looked tasty my friend

Oh yeah, and that other one is even older! Strange weather Jer, I hope you can get there tomorrow. My doctor has strained my patience recently!

Thank you Kevin, I had wanted to get that pattern made for a long time, but it took a bit of doing. Sheffield cutlers are very conservative/lazy, they don't like to make anything different. In the end, it worked out better than I imagined though, I certainly love mine

Sorry to hear about your shoulder Kevin, hope all's well again soon Cool pics

Oh yeah! It seems like much longer ago

I'm thankful for your persistence Jack. I know you went the extra mile (miles) to provide us a bunch of quality SFO's! The Guardians have gotten some knives to be proud of. Probably some of the best that Wright's have ever produced at anytime in their history! It's a shame for them that they choose not to continue to do business that same way! Thanks again and stay safe!

Looking for a way to use all that flour you’ve hoarded? Sourdough Pancakes for dinner!

Rosewood featured today of course.

Yes. Very odd.

Jack Black - Much thanks, Jack. Your Indonesian Rosewood Lamb Foot is quite handsome, especially in its’ serene outdoor surroundings.

Half/Stop - Thank you kindly, Ron. Your Rosewood Lamb Foot has fine looking covers.

Good Evening Guardians.

Hartshead and blueberry scone.

 

[Pàdruig]

Pàdruig - That’s a cool shot. Love all that red contrast.

Thank you, Harvey - I love the Stag on that I-XL!

Thanks Dylan, two superb photos there

Much appreciated, Jack - I've enjoyed seeing all of your Rosewood examples.

Now that's very clever photography!

Thank you, my friend! I took some inspiration from Harvey's skillfully done pictures - he is a master at capturing interesting textures and effects.

Outstanding Lambsfoot and photo Dylan!

Thank you very much, Ron! That venison stew looks superb - the knife ain't half bad either .

Really great picture Dylan. The colors really make the knife stand out. I see your WCLF has a nice patina starting. I've started using mine and it too is developing a nice patina. I'll get a picture of it up in the next day or two.

Thank you, Ed. Glad to see you recovering and posting more. The WCLF in bone, alongside Jack's AC SFO, are my two favorite Lambsfoot knives and they see the most use and the patina that comes with it. I look forward to seeing yours as you get to use it more.

Thank you , Dylan. I am doing well, except for a shoulder injury from a bicycle crash but that will heal. I hope to be around here a bit more in the near future.

I hope you recover quickly, Kevin. Fine shots of your knife and excellent hound!


I missed the Rosewood memo today but I did bring some Ironwood out.

Thank you Ron, I know most folks appreciate them (the flippers are something else), and I'm glad that we all got a few nice Lambsfoot knives. While I'm very sad that we won't be getting another Guardians knife this year, I certainly won't miss the process

I wish Dave! Those look delicious my friend

Many thanks pal, I was admiring the Ironwood models in your flock pic the other day That's a striking photo, and really shows off the Ironwood to perfection

Morning Guardians, I think I might need to go out to buy some provisions today, I could do with some bread, and fresh fruit and vegetables, so I better go and get a shave I hope everyone is doing OK. Stay safe and take care Guardians

 

[JohnDF]

Cool picture, Jack.
It looks very Harvey-esque.

 

[JohnDF]

Good Morning Guardians

 

[Onebigbill]

Good day all. Older photo. Same type of morning today...glorious!

Hartshead and blueberry scone.

Thank you for the compliment on my Rosewood HHB. A beautiful photo Harvey! The scone looks as delicious as the Sambar on your Hartshead!

Thank you very much, Ron! That venison stew looks superb - the knife ain't half bad either .

I missed the Rosewood memo today but I did bring some Ironwood out.

Dylan, no venison, only good old fashioned veggies in that soup! I’m getting very good at making meals in the “Instant Pot”. Pam is actually calling me Chef Ron! That’s a beautiful photo of your Ironwood Lambsfoot!

Thank you Ron, I know most folks appreciate them (the flippers are something else), and I'm glad that we all got a few nice Lambsfoot knives. While I'm very sad that we won't be getting another Guardians knife this year, I certainly won't miss the process

I can certainly understand your statement about the process Jack! That’s a great photo of your Stag Hartshead!

Good Morning Guardians

Solid and reliable Rosewood John!

Good day all. Older photo. Same type of morning today...glorious!
