Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[meako]

Wells is nice. Part of the reason we decided to go was because they filmed the majority of Hot Fuzz there. (Spoiler alert: if you haven’t seen Hot Fuzz, don’t look at the map, log off of BladeForums and go watch Hot Fuzz.)

You should check out thel series they made called Spaced ...brilliant...not about space
Also whilst yer at it...Hyperdrive....a pinnacle of British comedy imo...and actually set in space...sort of Star Trek crashes into Dr Who and Blakes 7....(tv announcer voice) With Hilaaarious Results. Also Big Train.
@waynorth Thank you kind Sir ! Just to confirm I do not currently have a LF...I did make contact with JB a while back but my funds forbade ....Im definitely keen for something special in lieu of the 2020 which looks to have listed and sunk dockside.
Cheers

@Jack Black Try as I might, I can not think of anyone that doesn't have or has had a Lambsfoot. Every time I think I have someone to nominate, I do a little digging only to find that they already have been enlightened. Sorry that your giveaway isn't going well, my friend.
Maybe I am spending too much time in the Guardians thread, if I can't think of a single person who doesn't own a Lambsfoot.


I hope all you Guardians are doing well and having a nice relaxing weekend.

I'm sure John When I was a young 'un, all I wanted to do was catch big fish, but when I look back on what I really enjoyed about fishing, the fish are only a part of it, and I miss the early mornings, driving on empty roads, the excitement of quietly tackling-up, the peace and tranquility out in beautiful surroundings, and, at the end of the day, the feeling of a great day out at the river-bank, with the pub beckoning

You summed it up nicely, my friend.

Beautiful scenery John

Thank you, Dan.

Fair enough Kevin, thank you for at least reading my post, and for giving it some proper consideration, and doing the research. I've done scores and scores of giveaways on BF, and enjoyed every one, but this one. Lovely photo my friend

 

[Half/Stop]

Fabulous photo of your Charlie Lamb Harvey

And another!

Thanks Jack!

I enter on behalf of @meako.

Please read my giveaway post (below)

With page 2000 swiftly approaching, I thought we'd better have a giveaway I managed to find one of the 10 knives I had made up with vintage African Rosewood covers...

It's only open to Guardians, but here's the twist, you can nominate someone who doesn't have a Lambsfoot knife to receive this one as a prize. They must have at least 20 posts in the Traditional forum to qualify (please check), agree to give the knife a try, and not sell it (they can put it up for another giveaway or pass it on to another member here). To enter, please say that you're in, name the member you're nominating, and say why you're nominating them to win a Lambsfoot knife

You have done a very good job of reaching most of us, Jack!!
Too good!!
None can refute the usefulness and good looks of the Lambsfoot blade!!
And most have been converted!

Although I'm not an officer in the Guardians of the Lambsfoot, I'm certainly willing, and I hope the photos that follow indicate that I'm also able, to serve in some of the special operations affiliated with the Guardians.

Perhaps I can volunteer for the Biscuit Brigade:



Or if the Colander Company needs reinforcements, maybe I can serve:

Impressive colander GT! Intact handles noted. And your Hartshead Barlow looks great of course!

That colander looks familiar. Here is ours (my wife had it when I met her in 1984, and I have no idea when or where she got it), I have used it countless times:

I hope all you Guardians have been having an enjoyable weekend.

We’re starting to see some pubs and restaurants open here, with a 20 person limit.

I went for a walk with a mate on Sunday and had my first pint for a while at a country brewery.

This dark Czech lager was the standout of the styles I tasted.
Nice colour to it, too...

I thought you'd like that one mate Yes indeed!

Thanks Jack, that’s another cool pic. Looks like some Bryan Talbot art.

I came across that on one of my walks mate, but my neighbours have an interesting tree that I should try and get a pic of. Great background there with your Lambsfoot knives, very interesting

Cheers mate, sure I’d be interested to see that tree.

Made a nice change after all the solitary confinement Ron My heart always sinks a little when I see some penknives, and the trader says, "I've researched them." It usually means they've spent some time reading nonsense on ebay, that they'll have learned nothing about the knives, will most likely have cleaned them - badly, and that the prices will be stupid A few interesting ones though (pic in the EDC thread). Hope you're having a good day pal

Yeah, I was surprised to find a stall at a second hand market here which had some interesting old Sheffield knives, including a few Lambsfoot examples. My excitement turned to disappointment when I saw how they’d all been ruined by mechanical buffing! And yes, the prices were foolish too.

Thank you kindly, Chin. Your blog posts are gems filled with wonderful images.

Good Morning Guardians.

Christopher Johnson/Western Works

Thanks very much Harvey. Those are wonderful images of that Christopher Johnson Lambsfoot knife. It’s interesting to see that it appears to have been sharpened with a file at some stage in its life.

All this talk of markets has me missing the Victoria Market in Melbourne. One of my pleasures is to drop by and get some fresh seafood and enjoy it on the spot!

My Lambsfoot does the honours in loosening the oysters in their shells.

Uni is delicious too in season.

Although cooking at home with ingredients from the garden also has its advantages.

There’s nothing like fresh homemade pesto and tomatoes on good bread!

 

[waynorth]

Those are some beautiful Oysters, Chin!! And your garden is very bountiful!!
Your knife looks like it has covered some honest, careful miles!!
Great pics!!

 

[Cambertree]

Jack, like Kevin I’m having difficulty thinking of anyone to nominate for your kind giveaway who doesn’t already have a Lambsfoot.

At first I thought of Abbydaddy’s son who recently had a Recruit gifted to him by Carl, but I see that Abbydaddy already has a Lambsfoot knife.

I would have liked to nominate my friend Enactive who is currently getting into traditional knives, and is a woodworker who would probably appreciate the Lambsfoot pattern. But he falls just short of the posting requirement unfortunately, so doesn’t qualify.

Sorry mate.

Thank you Charlie, best of luck for your operation and a speedy recovery!

As well as sliding oysters off their shells, I hear the Lambsfoot also works well for slicing up chillis!

Those colanders were certainly popular

Great to see you out enjoying a pint Chin I hope you a nice walk too, fantastic pics, isn't it winter there

Thank you my friend, Talbot it is, you know your onions

Very sorry to hear about the ruined knives

Smashing pics from the market Chin Sheffield used to have a huge meat and fish market, which was a great place to shop. When I was boy, the mid-shopping treat would be a small plate of cockles, with vinegar, eaten standing up, at one of the many seafood stalls. Later, I had my first oyster there I don't think seafood is as popular here today. Leeds market traditionally had a 'Fish Row' and a 'Butchers Row', but now there are only a few fishmongers, and the butchers had to move from their historic spot several years ago now, supposedly because the stalls were going to be renovated. Many couldn't find an alternative spot, or had simply had enough, and called it a day. Having left the row empty for the past few years, the city council sold it off to property developers to turn into a swanky hotel. Here's how it has looked for several years now, with every business closed

Your posts have been mouth-watering my friend!

Good Morning Guardians, hope everyone had a good weekend. The shops are opening here today, but I can't think of anything I want Have a decent week folks

[donn]

I really enjoyed all the pictures from your walk. Beautiful country.

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful photos David!

Looks like marvelous country to walk through, David.

Thanks, David! Excellent photos from your walk, too.

Thanks for those fantastic pics, you clearly had a much better day yesterday than over here, where it didn't stop raining

Thanks gentlemen It's not quite Yorkshire but it's not to bad.

Have to watch out for The Baby-eating Bishop though!

LOL Jack! I've just been onto YT to find a quick clip of that episode of Blackadder. I'd definitely get banned from here if I posted it though.

Are you saying you don’t want to enjoy a pint and a pie at the pub (the three P’s) while wearing one of these?

LOL Barrett. Yeah. I'd rather sit in my back garden with a bottle than do that.
I saw a pic of something similar; a bloke sat in a pub with a tube coming out his face mask going into his pint.
