A great photo! Sort of Starwars-esq!Sorry about the huge pic!

And another great...and clear photo, John! Great looking HHB!
It is a great phito! I guess I have Starwars on the brain, because that does look like an Ewok peaking around the tree!The masked bandit of the forest also sends his best wishes

Fantastic Foto! I hate springtime, tornado season! I do hope you and yours remain safe!
Looks awsome, Ed!Ahhh but patina they do. Even the iron bolster on this Rosewood covered HHB is starting to patina while the blade etch is slowly being consumed by patina too.

Mmmmm, delicious looking! I would end up eating them all, then I would be out of my comfort zone!Going outside my comfort zone.

Will have to venture down there one of these days! I like Shiner Bock, and I have an aunt down in the Austin area...Good morning, Guardians!

Nice post, Dennis, and good looking bread!Hello, all!
Since we're mostly stuck in isolation, and as a way to keep all us Guardians healthy and fit, I produced this video (not really) of Guardians hitting the ol' heavy bag for exercise:

Thank you very much for your inspiring comments, Harvey!
Sorry to hear that Jack! I hate that I can't brush my teeth without the fear of something popping out of place or breaking!
I do hope you recover quickly my friend!
Looks great to me, John!I rely totally on chance for a somewhat decent photo!
An incredible image of your DamLamb, Harvey!
Thanks for that one, Harvey!! I snickered out loud with that one!

You have the touch!

It happens, Kevin! Wow, great looking herd!
I just realized I didn't have one of Dylan's @Pàdruig photos, you've been killing it lately with your photos!
All this backing has inspired me to......ask my wife to bake some bread, since I burn water! She's been making a loaf every couple of days now!

Happy Saturday, Guardians! It's been a long busy week with work, so I'm hopelessly behind on this thread. I'll try to go back through later today... apologies in advance if I don't hit all the posts I've missed!

Not my yard pictured above, but if you can imagine something about 1 percent as large, with one tree, and covered with lots of pretty dandelions and clover, then you'll get the idea!![]()
Thank you Jack. Your Hartshead at the mouth of the wooden opening is mighty nice. Here’s to your back woes clearing up soonest. Cheers!
Good Afternoon Guardians. Be Well.

Thanks Jack. I hope you get your back sorted out soon.
I finally got around to taking a pic of the herd.
I apologize to everyone that I failed to reply to, again, please know that it is nothing personal and that I always appreciate and enjoy your comments.

Back around 1978 I went to the Wurstfest in New Braunfels and tasted some original Shiner beer. I thought it was awful. Years later when Shiner Bock came out I couldn’t believe how good it was. Quite a surprise.
Thanks Jack, I believe we are just out on the upper edge of it but I am hoping everyone else gets a break this time. Take care with your back.

I, for one, am a fan of a gradually earned C70 patina.

Nice sandwiches and Lambsfoot my friend! I hope you feel better as the day goes on!Beautiful day here, but I find myself not just confined to the house, but for the most part, to my sofaI did manage to put a couple of sausage sandwiches together this morning, but I wasn't very impressed with the sausages
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday

Looking good Bill!Good Sunday Guardians. Another photo of my HHB and my Cypress wood wheel barrow. So darn hard to get a clear photo of the knife

Good morning Guardians!I apologize if I double quote or click a quote on one of your posts and it doesn't appear. I am having a terrible time with the forum software this morning!
I'm excited this morning!
I got a new to me Lambsfoot in the mail yesterday evening. It's totally different to me. I don't have anything like it in my collection and I can't find another one like it to compare it to. I did find reference to the company, but I could only find it in reference to older knives. I believe my knife was possibly made in the late 70's or early 80's. I know Jack will be able to help out. Thanks in advance
Jack Black buddy!
My knife is a Venture, H.M. Slater, Sheffield. It has some beautiful deeply grained horn handles. The bolsters are brass and the liners are steel. It is a big'un, which I really like! As a note, the blade looks very much like the blade on my big'uns from Wright's. The horn is hard to photograph but I got some photos to show you!![]()
