Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[rockman0]

I agree on the lamb/clip combo, the clip sits high and is uncomfortable to use the lambsfoot on anything that requires even small amounts of pressure. Very good looking knife but impractical. Someone found a way to get a lot of use out of both blades on the one Glenn recovered, they must have had well callused tough hands. I enjoy my little un in my watch pocket and the big un rides in a pancake sheath on my belt, very comfortable set up, I don't even know they are there.The little un is great for most needs, it's nimble, thin and slicy, the big un is just fun to grab and use on anything. When I grip the little un my little finger is just curled up not touching the knife but I have a full grip on the big un.

It's quite a good discussion for those who want to revisit it I don't think the Lamb and Pen compromises anything, except a slight weight addition, but with the Lamb and Clip, I definitely found it more comfortable with the Clip open than the other way around It sounds like we have similar hands Rob, I have long, slim fingers (I could palm a basketball even as a kid), and I never think my hands look big, but I take the largest size of glove, so I guess they must be! I do have a couple of Lamb and Pen Big 'Uns, but I haven't really carried them much, maybe I should carry them more I do like the ergonomics of the larger style, but I was more surprised that I get on well with the small size, like the AC. A lot of small knives, I find very pocketable, but they're a little small in my hands when it comes to using them. The small size Lambsfoot, particularly with stag and a swayback frame works fine however

Thanks Ron, appreciate the compliment

Thank you Greg!


Thanks Jack! That stag big'un is one of my favorites. That Ebony big'un is a nice one also my friend! Stay safe and well!


Terrific old TEW's Rob!!


Beautiful John!


Thanks for the photo revisit and that link. I'll definitely have to revist that Jack!

Thanks a lot pal, you too

Hello Guardians! My choice for today is a TEW. She's not the best looker out there, but she's solid and dependable! Y'all stay safe and well out there!

Solid choice ron

I asked for a prototype with the Clip in front of the Pen. The Pen would have sat lower, but I still don't think it would have had great ergonomics. Sounds like someone managed to put those two blades to good use though Rob That sounds like a good set-up my friend. Great pics, that really is a very nice knife

This one is for JohnDF (and for @Cambertree if he looks in)

Solid choice ron

Been putting in some serious work this week, one on mango duty all week and one on yard work duty... can you guess which? I've been wiping the mango off nearly immediately every time, and it's developed solid rainbow patina, looks interesting - never seen that happen on one of my knives before.

That reminds me: it’s been a while since I’ve asked if there’s anyone new who’d like to be added to Guardians Map? If so, just let me know (either here in the thread or via PM) and I'll get you added!

Sorry I’m a little new at quoting but Thank You very much Jack for considering me a Guardian, I’m honored. Barrett btb01 if I pass muster please add me to the Guardians Map.

Chuck, just wanted to let you know that you're on the map now!

This one is for JohnDF (and for @Cambertree if he looks in)

Expert knife placement in that photo, Jack!

 

[cigarrodog]

Thanks a lot for the kind words Harvey, and for that smashing photo, and the chuckle

Thank you Jack. Thank you for sharing the tour again.

Good Afternoon Guardians.

A fine Spring Day

Morning Guardians, my back is still sore, but after 2 weeks, I really needed to go out to the shops, which wasn't a lot of fun as it turned out No apple pie, but I did get a cherry pie Hope everyone has a decent day

Really sorry that your back is still hurting, Jack, I know that just puts a negative in everything else, and then to be out of Apple Pie! , well, it can make you ANGRY!

Good Morning Guardians

Succulent Lambsfoot, John!

Good morning Guardians! I’m going Large Stag with a side of patina today! I hope y’all have a great Thursday!

That's some great looking stag on your Big'un, Ron!

Morning Guardians! The last couple of days with the Senator have gone really well, so figure we'll finish off the week together. He used to get more pocket time, until I received the Li'l Lambs, which ended up bumping the Senator from the rotation

Oh, and an accidental updated mugshot in the bolster

Love the Senator...Music to my eyes! And the bonus accidental cameo!

And time stands still...nice, Harvey!

Happy "almost Friday"!

Beats Almost Monday! Fine Foto, Dylan!

Morning Guardians, and a Happy May Day to you all Have a good day my friends

"May" this month be "A-May-zing" for you, Jack, and everyone here!

Good morning Guardians.
Two English articles, a whistle and Guardians 19.

A palatable pairing, José!

Top knife is all original. They were working knives with no frills.

Here's some more photos of it at the Eye Witness Works

Looks like a solid blue collar working knife indeed! Great look to them!

Good Morning Guardians

Although your WCLF is a fine piece of art, the superlative leathercraft from your own hands is fantastic! Great looking wallet, John!

Nice, Ed! Like children, gotta have photos to remember what they looked like!

This one is for JohnDF (and for @Cambertree if he looks in)

I hope he wields the Lambsfoot for truth and justice!

I've been wiping the mango off nearly immediately every time, and it's developed solid rainbow patina, looks interesting - never seen that happen on one of my knives before.

Very fruity patina, and a great pare pair!

A beautiful Lambsfoot to "Reflect " on, Harvey!

Hope everyone is doing well or better than last week!

I don't think this slip gets enough love...

Have a great Friday night!

A narrow clip works better in a 2 blade, something similar to a Turkish clip would help but that doesn't seem to have been a thing. Thanks Jack

You should try this stuff, Ed. It's made from the best stuff on earth: people!

Is the color of that Soylent green ???

A picture by a guy with too much time on his hands, just a comparison of the different size vintage lambsfoot knives I've gathered. I had to make a decision awhile back to collect only vintage knives as I can't afford to buy everything that catches my eye, I sold all of my modern knives with the exception of a couple of fixed blades and a few folders that I've had for years.

Left to right, 3 7/16", 3 9/16", 3 13/16", 4", 4 1/8". I left out a 3 3/8" TEW as it's a barlow with an odd blade combo of Lambsfoot and clip.

You have a very nice Collection there Rob .

Thank you Harvey, beautiful photos That's a great-looking Milner My own is kind of ugly, with fibre covers and a rounded point Maybe something to get recovered and restored at some point

Really sorry that your back is still hurting, Jack, I know that just puts a negative in everything else, and then to be out of Apple Pie! , well, it can make you ANGRY!

Definitely!

Guilty! Great pic Dennis, hope you've had a decent week my friend

Morning Guardians, hope everyone is doing OK (what day we on now?!), and that you find something different, exciting, and/or enjoyable to do this weekend No sign of the lockdown ending here yet, but I have a pal dropping me off a few groceries later, so if the weather stays fine, we're hoping to sit out in my back garden (at a safe distance of course), and have a burger, and maybe a beer Have a good Saturday Guardians
