Thanks very much. I think I might have posted this photo recently. If so, sorry for the repeat, but it shows the pruner shape well. And I believe the pruner handle compliments and sets off the Lambsfoot blade better than any other handle shape.

I really like the overall lines on the pruner handled knives as well. That's a very nice example, sir.
 
Hello Guardians, I humbly present a photo in hand of my very first Lambs foot knife

through the generosity of his Excellence, Mr. Jack Black, I humbly submit my request to be a member amongst you. I was discussing the possibility of acquiring a lambs foot with Jack, and after mentioning that I might be interested in a big'un, he offered to gift me this fine example. I love it! It fits my hand like it was made for it, and I can hardly wait to put it to use. Today was a happy day :)

I recently got an A. Wright in rosewood that quickly suffered a broken back spring only minutes out of the mailbox. I was dismayed, but instead of giving up I decided to play Frankenstein. I had to grind a half-stop and fiddle a bit to get the action right, but its coming along. :D

Looks like you made it
You didn't know how until today
And now all you see are lambsfoots everywhere
And your heart keeps getting tangled up inside the thought of it

Oh, we made it

Looks like we made it :D

Super well done, Jack !! It's a beauty :eek:
 
sitflyer sitflyer thats a beeeeaut! :) :thumbsup: And that's the ticket eh, you're in! Secret handshake and all the other stuff, in good time. :p

solphilos solphilos man, you're cracking me up with Frankenlambsfoot :eek:!
Very clever and industrious of you. I carried a Douk Douk for years, it sure is pocket friendly despite its size.

Good fun on the Guardians of the Lambsfoot thread here today. :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about the backspring snapping. Great ingenuity on the transplant though!

I love 'em. As you said very pocket friendly and nearly indestructible. I'm going to use a removable pivot this one and carry it for a bit and see how I get on with it. Its a fun project so far, but not sure I'm ready to sacrifice a good Douk Douk!

Thanks! Such a great blade shape, I think such a simple and utilitarian design such as the Douk Douk would do well with such a blade.

I was disappointed, but at least I got a fun project out if it! If the body rejects the transplant I'll probably look into making new back spring for it. Too good a blade to go to waste.

Nice to see that knife again. Congratulations sitflyer, and nice one, Jack. That one will look even better when those light spots on the covers take on that smooth, buttery colour, from age and use. :thumbsup:;)

Ha ha, nice work on the cool adaptation!:thumbsup::cool:

Could you post a picture of what your Frankenlambsfoot looks like with the blade closed?:)

Congratulations Jack and everyone else who has contributed to these 200 pages.:thumbsup::cool::)
