Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[r8shell]

I couldn't wait, so brunch was leftover BBQ with potato and egg. And...I'm hooked on Hendersons!
It's sweeter than I expected, and I'd hardly call it strong or spicy (sorry, I'm obligated as a Texan to say that) but it is very good.

Oops...Lambsfoot knife out of frame. Gotta stay on topic.

About all I remember seeing out there was some tumbleweed.

I remember lots of yellow flowers of some sort. Very pretty.

Jack, Those are fantastic Photos my friend!!! Just great!

Thanks a lot Duncan, you're very kind I just had another walk round the block, but mainly took photos of my knife, two-thirds of which were out of focus, as usual

Didn't half of Yorkshire turn up to see those dropped?

Certainly half of South Yorkshire! You can get tankards, and cuff-links, and all sorts with them on! A daft mate of mine, who lives at that end of Sheffield, went to see the demolition, which happened late at night. He found a spot on an overlooking hill, drank a bottle of cider while he was waiting for the blast, went to answer a call of nature, and tumbled over, and fell right down the hill amid the weeds and nettles! He had just come to a halt, when he heard the bang, signalling that he had missed the spectacle completely! Though of course he did make one of himself!

Yeah Barrett years ago I drove around California, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada. Good grief your country is huge. Us Brits really don't have a handle on distance. If I told someone here I was driving to say Cornwall from where I live (about 250 miles) all conversation would stop, there'd be a sharp intake of breath and then remarks like "bloody 'ell you should of set out last week if you want to get there for tomorrow"...
But I don't agree with the cop car thing. They seemed to pop up out of nowhere!

LOL! They must have heard you were coming David!

It doesn't stop there with the flags thing though. There's another movement in England to have St' Georges Cross replaced with this:

It's the white Wyvern on a red background and was reputedly the banner of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, which would sort of make it the original flag of Anglo-Saxon England.

And of course Cornwall has its own flag

Jack I'm sure some of them are still an empty shell as didn't they run out of money during the renovation a few years back? When I last passed through Sheffield (Derby beer fest), I looked up and was sure I could see daylight through some of them.

I remember seeing that too David, I thought they'd all be stripped out, and renovated for yuppies But maybe I'm wrong - I'm not sure Sheffield has that many yuppies!

I don't know how accurate the Wikipedia page is, or when it was last updated, but this tells a different story I can remember playing under the flats in about 1964, when they were fairly new, and my parents had friends there

Good afternoon all. I hope your all well and you've all got a nice Sunday planned.
This was yesterday evening after a hard day of doing nothing.

That looks like a perfect evening David!

 

[lambertiana]

I figure it's high time I added to the bread pictures with yesterday's batch. I used a mix of whole rye, whole hard red wheat, and whole hard white wheat, along with my sourdough starter. It pairs well with the jam I make from my plum tree (and the ironwood lambsfoot, of course).

 

[r8shell]

Really? I note the last one you posted doesn't have a distal taper either regardless of the blade etch.

Hmm, I think my phone's camera sometimes distorts the perspective if the blade tip is in the foreground.
This photo shows the taper a lot better.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Crazy Canuck - Boy Mike...You do know what I like. Great capture. The snickerdoodles look fabulous. Then there’s that beautiful Lamb Foot.

Good Late Evening Guardians.

Thanks Harvey. I always enjoy your photos. That one is smokin'

Those look very tasty Mike, I've been looking up recipes! Great pics
...
Morning Guardians, it's still a bit uncomfortable for me to sit for longer than 10 minutes, so I'm going to take a break here. Hope everyone is keeping well, and having a nice weekend. Have a good Sunday Guardians

Sliced Seven Seed Sourdough about to go in the toaster Toting my AC today

Thanks Jack. They sure don't last long in our house! Speaking of recipes, here's the one I use for them. Glad to hear there's some small improvement to your back and hope it continues! Fantastic looking sourdough and AC today.

Mike they look great. But just what is a 'snickerdoodle'?
...
Good afternoon all. I hope your all well and you've all got a nice Sunday planned.

Thanks David. They're a cinnamon sugar cookie, but the secret is the cream of tartar

Man, I miss pizza!

Ironwood again today.

Edited for positivity

 

[rockman0]

Thanks The old timey Sheffield cutlers sure put out great stag and lots of awesome tang and blade stamps

Wow, that's some amazing stag. I love the blade stamps, too.

 

[Onebigbill]

Great pics, Jack.

Aren't those peaty Islay malts the best?

Indeed they are the best. However, my stock is quickly shrinking due to being stuck in the house for Corona virus concerns. I need to make a liquor run and replenish. Afraid it is going to be mucho dinaros though. Lagavulin 16 yr, Laphroig 10 year Original Cask Strength, Caol Ila 15 yr, etc., etc.

 

[Onebigbill]

It was an interesting trip. 490 miles in one day I had a 250 enduro (dirt bike) that was a blast to ride. I think my friends Norton was an 850 but I had several friends that ride several models of Nortons, some were 750’s. I love most all of that peaty Scotch!



Cornbread is definitely leavened. Eggs, baking soda and or baking powder. Everyone’s recipe is slightly different.



Thanks! I do love that peaty Scotch from Islay. My son got to take a tour of several of the distilleries there while he he was in the Navy. He was stationed for a while in Naples, Italy. He thoroughly enjoyed it.

Les, I was in Scotland last year for a week long tour and went to some of the distilleries too. Sadly I didn't get to Islay.

 

[CelloDan]

Incredible Dan! Great pics my friend

Gracias amigo

Crikey Dan, they don't mess about do they.

No, they don't. .
I will be keeping a healthy "social distancing" whenever I see one from now on ( those things can attack you )
I got a bit too close on this one.

Dan, that is one sharp blade

Yes lol. Never underestimate the sharpness of a lambsfoot
(borrowed this quote from our friend @315 from in another thread )

Morning Guardians, it's still a bit uncomfortable for me to sit for longer than 10 minutes, so I'm going to take a break here. Hope everyone is keeping well, and having a nice weekend. Have a good Sunday Guardians

Hoping you soon feel well from your back pain Jack

This Black Friday picture does not reflect my mood... I remain joyful and optimistic.
...
It is Friday... Right?

...
I’m going with my Ebony Waynorth Cutlery Lambsfoot today!
...

John & Ron, thanks for the Friday pics of your elegant and exquisite ebony WCLFs!

I have aspirations to fit in mine again one day Gary!

Yeah maybe! Thanks buddy, I have always been a fan of extra pockets, given a choice between buying a casual shirts with or without pockets, I'd always go for the pockets!

I once called a girlfriend by the wrong name, didn't go down well

Many thanks Gary, I'll be glad when it stops niggling
...
That's a great pic GT, you got a good one there I miss being able to go over to York

As I was putting away the laundry yesterday, I noticed that I have an embarrassing amount of clothes in the closet that I never wear, probably couldn't wear, and will probably never be able to wear again. Why???

Yeah, I can see how every act of calling someone by the wrong name does NOT have the same consequences. Our dogs seem not to care at all, my daughter's irritation about it is kind of cute, but it could be a deal-breaker in the case of a significant other.

I hope your back issues are completely resolved long before this pandemic and its implications depart from our society.

Thanks for the kind words, Jack.

...
Sad local news: Threadgills is closed and will not be re-opening post-pandemic.
...

That IS sad news, Rachel, and I fear that it will not be uncommon news for many establishments as weeks and months go by.

...
Great picture, GT.
...

Thanks, John.

I posted three or four of them this week... But one more can't hurt.

OUCH!! Too much of a great thing!
Just kidding, John. I admired your carrying your "safe queen" as a talisman during Jack's back attack.

...
"Further more," says the speaker. "In an egalitarian society, you'd only have to work one day a week!"
A heckler in the audience shouts out, "And what day would that be?"
The speaker is somewhat exasperated by the stupid question, and tells him, "Wednesday."
The reply comes back, "What every blood Wednesday?!"

Thank you my friends.View attachment 1327985

Some Yeats with my morning coffee - yes, it's pouring down rain again...

Dwight & Dylan, a couple of superb SamDamLambs!!
Dwight, when I saw your photo, I thought, "She was doing good till she went in the woods and got pinned up against a log. Pretty good! Not bad!"

Hope all you Guardians are having a wonderful Friday! Speaking of coffee... my beans delivery arrived today, and my two blade lambsfoot helped get it opened and into the storage canister
...

...
Thank you GT. Your Union Jack is beautiful on either side.
...

Great to see those 2-blade lambs, Mike & Harvey!
Harvey, I appreciate your looking at Union Jack from both sides now.

...
Thanks for the compliment Gary! We’ve had great success on our grocery shopping the last three weeks or so. So far no limits on milk or anything like that! Don’t tell anybody, but we just got back from Sam’s Club. Dropped almost $300 and came home with a trunk load of food. A lot of it was for storing, including several kinds of meat and fish for the freezer. I had to do a double take on your Union Jack photo. I first thought it was a photo of @JohnDF John’s 4x4 post!
...

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Congrats on your shopping success, Ron; sounds like you'll be well-stocked for the foreseeable future! Sorry to confuse you with the pic on the garden post; John is right about the flattery. (I wonder when my first shot of a knife on one of the vertical posts from the frames of our raised beds in the back yard occurred? The posts have been out there for several years already. )

...
I do have these very close at hand today .

Harry

Splendid variation of your two TEWs, Harry!

Beautiful pic of an outstanding lambsfoot, Ben!

Wifey takes good care of me! Had not seen that video, a lot of guitar talent up there! Thanks for the tunes, Gary!

Thank you, Gary!
It has really become one of my favorites!

A double dip...

Glad you enjoy the video, the blond horn lambsfoot, and my Union Jack pic, Dennis.
Thanks for the dreamy double shot of your lambs!

I'm struggling this morning Guardians Had a new Windows update forced on me yesterday, and now I can't get online via my computer. I've been messing around with it all morning, but it doesn't seem to be an easy fix, and I need the connection for work.
...
Edit (25 minutes later!) - I can barely believe I've managed to fix the darned thing. If I had £1 for every minute I've had to waste fixing the errors that Windows 10 has inflicted upon me I'd be rich now

Sorry to hear you had that frustration foisted on you, Jack.

View attachment 1328414 Morning guardians my grandchildren wanted me to make them quarantine snacks so I enlisted the help of these 3 fellas. These wright lambsfoot have been recovered by @jsdistin and fit & finish are now stellar. Chose cinnamon giraffe bone African Blackwood and Appaloosa bone

Congrats on the 3 lambsfoot mods, AL!
You're churning out mass quantities of quarantine snacks!

I’m using a bandana as a mask when I go out for groceries now. I’ve opted for the old-school triangle fold, tied around the back of the neck, using two bandanas for the extra layers. I find it more comfortable than other kinds of cloth face masks, and I enjoy that it looks like I’m planning on holding up a stagecoach (just as soon as I finish stocking up on eggs and milk at Costco).
...
I don’t know that I’ve ever shared a photo of the pile side of my Ironwood Guardian’s Lambsfoot. It has some (I think) interesting little flaws in the wood that give it extra character.

As always, I enjoyed your wide-ranging post, Barrett!
The flaws in your ironwood aren't nearly as disturbing to me as is the alien creature (or is it The Mummy??) with a flashlight (pin) examining the largest "inclusion"!

Those days are long over.
I crush him when I can now.
...
Super easy. I use a bleeder tool, but you could just make a little 1/4" slit with your Lambsfoot.


It was glorious!!!
Nice to get rid of the mop on my head.
Nice to interact with a friend for a while too.
...
Social Distancing doesn't apply to family members that live together.

No mercy for the young!
Thanks for the braiding tip.
Glad the haircut expedition was a success.
Good point about social distancing; I have 7 lambsfoots living in two small compartments of a Plano box, and 1 in my pocket.

Wasn't sure if you were serious, Gary, but you didn't use a winking or laughing emoji/emoticon, so I will assume you are. I have never heard of "matron saints." Men and women can be patron saints. Here is a short definition from a Catholic website:

...
Betcha didn't know that Excalibur was a lambsfoot.

Thanks for the info, Vince; I've attended Protestant churches all my life and know very little about Catholic perspectives on saints, gender, etc. After you sent me the quote from the website, I googled both "matron saints" and "matron of the arts" and got some hits. Just scanning the search results without detailed follow-up, both seem to be current feminist concepts.
I like your Round Table pic with Excalibur!

More Union Jack, acting mysteriously almost a year ago:

It certainly wasn't on my bucket-list either Gary!

Nice work, that sounds great, how many couples get to build a wall together these days? Here's a pic I took when out for a short walk round the block this afternoon (about 1 1/2 miles from Leeds city centre)

...

I should take more knife pics on that wall along the alley, especially during the summer when it's often shady there.
Great photo of that road/path! What do you call that kind of "road surface"? You have FAR more spring greenery than we do so far.

...
Harry taught me that one Gary!

Great pairing buddy!

Thanks, Ron.

A good Saturday afternoon to all you Guardians! I'm running late and struggling with a little stomach distress today! I'm toting my Ashley's Choice today! Stay safe out there!

Hope you're feeling better today, Ron! Maybe too much cornbread??
Your AC is Awe-inspiring Cutlery!

...
Thanks John, we have some very interesting alleys (and ginnels, jennels, snickets, and snickleways), but that one is actually on the map as a road! Always makes me laugh when I see vehicles trying to get up it!
...

I had to look up all four of those terms, and having done so, I don't think I'm very enlightened! On my only trip to Europe, restricted to Spain, I was amazed by the narrowness of many of the old passages that were referred to as streets (calles).

Hey, yeah. Wake up and smell the coffee, traditional knife dealers!

I admire the way you tied together at least 3 themes in one succinct imperative!

First Black Fly today on my hike. Beautiful day.
...

First-class photo of your stag lambsfoot, Dave!
Are black flies a big nuisance at this time of year?

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their Lambsfoot knives, I sure enjoyed the 74 degree sunny weather while admiring this pair today.

Definitely an admirable pair!!

Mrs. Crazy Canuck asked me to bake her some snickerdoodles...

This one's for Harvey

Good tribute photo, Mike!

...
5K Qs - Thank you GT. Excellent image of your pair of Lambs. Romantic, even.

Thanks GT, yip I'm pretty much fixed now but your right; it really is silly how a bit of cold can do that. I mean it's not like it's not used to cold living in this country.
More banana bread on the way today according to my brother.
And that was cherry blossom. We'd had a blustery night which had blown a lot of the blossom off.
...

Glad your back is doing much better, David.
I didn't know those were cherry blossoms, but I did know they weren't roses. But I've been advised so often that "Life is not a bed of roses" that I wanted to "turn the tables" and say that the lambsfoot's life IS a bed of roses.

Thanks chaps but that's it. It's my anti-cellphone tracking case. A tin pencil case padded with sleeping mat off cuts.

"But that's not all!! Act now and you can also get ..."

Yeah GT, I didn't know until recently that apparently St' George is patron saint to several countries and that he was from what is now modern day Turkey in the 4th or 6th century?

Now those fine two lambsfoots should be at least 2 metres apart.

It doesn't stop there with the flags thing though. There's another movement in England to have St' Georges Cross replaced with this:

It's the white Wyvern on a red background and was reputedly the banner of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, which would sort of make it the original flag of Anglo-Saxon England.
...
This was yesterday evening after a hard day of doing nothing.

"Wyvern" is a new word for me! I'm amazed I've lived for almost 70 years without running across the distinction between a wyvern and a dragon. I don't care about the white wyvern on a red field for a flag, but it would be a very desirable t-shirt!
How was the chocolate fudge stout combined with pepperoni pizza?

Love your photos Jack, just wonderful.

Thanks a lot Bill

It's been there since day one.
I never said anything before because it really doesn't bother me.


I am very sorry, Jack.
I'll have to have one for you.
Fabulous group of pictures you posted.

That's strange John, I picked Lucy out because I didn't want to send anyone a knife with her bite marks. I hope Skoll stays OK

Thank you my friend, I appreciate that, and your kind words of course

It was an interesting trip. 490 miles in one day I had a 250 enduro (dirt bike) that was a blast to ride. I think my friends Norton was an 850 but I had several friends that ride several models of Nortons, some were 750’s. I love most all of that peaty Scotch!

Yeah, I never had anything above my 750 Triumph Tiger, seems like a lifetime ago I was riding bikes My granddad had a Norton 500 I'm with you on the Scotch

Oh, I hope your back feels better soon, Jack.

The last time I visited New York City, I was considering visiting the Tenement Museum. But looking around my brother's hole of an apartment I said, "Why bother?"

So, I was doing a little internet shopping a few weeks ago, and saw that I could order some of this magical elixir I've heard so much about. It arrived yesterday, and I'm deciding what to try it on. I don't have any chips (fries) or bread for a butty, but I could bake a potato...

Thanks a lot Rachel LOL! Wow, they lifted the Yorkshire embargo! I hope you didn't have to pay through the nose!

Sunday Sausage Sammich...

Great stuff John, looks fantastic!

Great pics, Jack.

Many thanks Vince

LOL! Who'd a thought it?! I'm glad you like it Rachel, I wish they'd stop putting 'spicy' on the label, it's not spicy at all is it, except in the sense that it has spices in it, which was perhaps the original meaning? Nice Lambsfoot pic too

I figure it's high time I added to the bread pictures with yesterday's batch. I used a mix of whole rye, whole hard red wheat, and whole hard white wheat, along with my sourdough starter. It pairs well with the jam I make from my plum tree (and the ironwood lambsfoot, of course).

Those loaves look fantastic, as does your Lambsfoot

Thanks Jack. They sure don't last long in our house! Speaking of recipes, here's the one I use for them. Glad to hear there's some small improvement to your back and hope it continues! Fantastic looking sourdough and AC today.



Thanks David. They're a cinnamon sugar cookie, but the secret is the cream of tartar

Man, I miss pizza!

Ironwood again today.

Someone get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Feeling a little frisky? You can't honestly be expecting a positive response coming into an over 1900 page thread dedicated to a specific knife type and making a mess on the floor... Almost like you're getting the reaction you're hoping for.

I imagine not Mike! Thanks a lot for the recipe, and for the kind words my friend, I'm grateful I used to use cream of tartar in soda bread I miss pizza too! Nice to see your Ironwood '19

I don't know how accurate the Wikipedia page is, or when it was last updated, but this tells a different story I can remember playing under the flats in about 1964, when they were fairly new, and my parents had friends there

Interesting article. A shame he couldn't be compensated a little bit after exploiting his words for marketing.

(I wonder when my first shot of a knife on one of the vertical posts from the frames of our raised beds in the back yard occurred? The posts have been out there for several years already. )

I put up new posts every year.

Thanks a lot Rachel LOL! Wow, they lifted the Yorkshire embargo! I hope you didn't have to pay through the nose!

Yeah, it wasn't cheap, but not too bad compared to a bottle of wine.

LOL! Who'd a thought it?! I'm glad you like it Rachel, I wish they stop putting 'spicy' on the label, it's not spicy at all is it, except in the sense that it has spices in it, which was perhaps the original meaning Nice Lambsfoot pic too

I'd call it flavorful. Reading the ingredients, it claims to have a little cayenne, and I guess I could taste a little peppery flavor but no heat. It also contains saccharine, so I imagine the recipe has been changed a few times in the last 100 years.

 

[Half/Stop]

Here’s the mark side of my Ironwood Guardians Lambsfoot.

Very nice Barrett!

Looks delicious Ron. So is cornbread always unleavened?

It doesn't stop there with the flags thing though. There's another movement in England to have St' Georges Cross replaced with this:

It's the white Wyvern on a red background and was reputedly the banner of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, which would sort of make it the original flag of Anglo-Saxon England.

Good afternoon all. I hope your all well and you've all got a nice Sunday planned.
This was yesterday evening after a hard day of doing nothing.

David, as Les so eloquently already answered this question, Cornbread is always leavened! There is Self Rising cornmeal which contains all the leavening agents, just add oil, egg and milk or Plain Cornmeal where you have to add the leavening agents and of course the other ingredients. Very nice pizza and Lambsfoot David!

Cornbread is definitely leavened. Eggs, baking soda and or baking powder. Everyone’s recipe is slightly different.

Nice knife, but it's not a Lambsfoot.

That's not a Lambsfoot, either.

Neither of those are Lambsfoot knives.
Close enough isn't close enough, and it's a little insulting to call them "better".
I'm sure our host would appreciate you editing out the pictures of the offending knives.

Great photo of that road/path! What do you call that kind of "road surface"? You have FAR more spring greenery than we do so far.

It'd be nice to see some my friend It's called a 'cobbled' road. Quite rare in Sheffield, which was in large part re-built after the intervention of the Luftwaffe, but still not uncommon in Leeds. It's incredible how Spring has sprung these past few weeks, the trees were still bare when the lock-down here was called.

I had to look up all four of those terms, and having done so, I don't think I'm very enlightened! On my only trip to Europe, restricted to Spain, I was amazed by the narrowness of many of the old passages that were referred to as streets (calles).

Sorry GT! Most Yorkshire folks don't know that 'snickleways' was
only invented by an author in the 1980's I love to get to know new places well, and have spent a lot of time in Barcelona, where I loved to walk in the labyrinthine Gothic Quarter, and the surrounding Barrios. I've had some great times there
