Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

We had fun visiting the antique stores.
Unfortunately, nothing followed me home.
I was very tempted by this one item though...

Curse of the Vampires - stake and all.

Figured another picture to close out the day couldn't hurt.

Thanks Jack! I guess a chiropractor is better than a surgeon my friend!

JohnDF Modoc ED Jack Black @Cambertree I apologize if I’ve missed anyone! A bunch of beautiful Ebony on display today gentlemen! Well done!

I hope I can avoid the knife, in this case Ron! Thank you for the Ebony compliment my friend

Keep the faith, Ed! We're rooting for you!

Thank you Jack.


Cheers! Good news. I just read(Yorkshire Evening Post) that:
Leeds East Airport to host Utilita Live From The Drive-In concerts including The Streets, Beverley Knight and Dizzee Rascal
Dizzee Rascal, Kaiser Chiefs, Gary Numan and Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley will perform during a series of socially-distanced drive-in music concerts this summer.

Thank you Harvey, and thanks for keeping me abreast of my local news my friend Not sure I'd drive to the bottom of my street to see most of that line-up though

That's one of the most unusual Lambsfoot knives I think I've ever seen Harvey, Shadow-pattern with shield and easy-open notch Are those Bexoid scales? I would have bought it too Harvey, just too darned interesting to pass up Looks like it's only had very light use too

Jack, Mostly they want to know how and why I came to like the lambfoot knife. For me, it was about this forum and the good people who join in and share their experiences. Then, after having a lambfoot, the usefulness and elegant design plus the long history associated with it.

It's nice folks take an interest Bill, sounds like you're doing a good job as an ambassador

Made one for me and one for my boy.

Lucky lad!

LOL! What about this set from Leeds Royal Armouries museum? When they first had it on display, it was claimed it was one of twelve sets issued by the Vatican, but they quickly had to revise that

Figured another picture to close out the day couldn't hurt.

Always a bonus Ed, hope you're doing OK buddy

Good Morning Guardians, for the first time in a week, the sun is out here in Yorkshire, but I have a bunch of work to do indoors unfortunately Hoping I might get a beer out in the garden with my pal later Here's a beer I had with my Ebony Big 'Un last night

I'm back to stag today though Hope everyone survived another week OK, and that you have a great weekend

 

[Pt-Luso]

Oh that cherry wood lamb foot barlow looks very fetching.

Many thanks, Bill.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Good morning Guardians. I hope you all are doing well. We finally have a sunshiney morning and a good day ahead. Not sure how much rain fell on southern NC in the last two weeks but I'm glad it is over (at least for the time being).

Nice photo, the color of this stag is fabulous, Bill.

Magnificent rosewood Hartshead Barlow, José!

Many thanks, Gary.

Good morning Guardians! The big’un decided to show off its backside this morning! Hope y’all have a great day!

So cool! Is there any holy water left in the bottle?
Have you watched "What We Do in the Shadows" the series, yet? I'm just catching up on the last of this season.

Lovely worn stag there.

Here's an older picture of the rosewood big'un that I'm carrying today.

Good morning Guardians! I’ve got my 2018 Ebony today. Y’all have a great day!

Hump day carry, it's been a while ...

Good Morning Guardians
Ebony for Black Friday seems appropriate.
...

Good Friday to y'all! I'm carrying a special one this morning. It's Coal Black Ebony! ...

Some exquisite ebony examples, folks!!

...
The neighboring town has a community called 12 bridges. It used to be a old ranch and the owner had stone bridges built to cross the creeks (12 of them). As they built the community, the bridges were preserved. This one is at the park where I used to take my kids when they were little. I love stone bridges!
...

John, do you know Euler's analysis of the 7 bridges of Königsberg problem that's often considered the start of "graph theory" as an area of mathematics?

The only Senator that I trust.

Enjoyable comparison shots, ED!

Good Afternoon Guardians

Rather seedy, but splendid nonetheless, Harvey!

I had a nice hike before the Premier League games today.

I'm away down to the market in the morning, so I'll look forward to catching up with you folks later in the day Switching back to my Hartshead Barlow for Thursday

Good Morning Guardians
I figured since I was practicing my sheath making skills, I'd try one for my Lambsfoot.

Great photos, Dave & Jack & José & John!

Great tunes to go along with your great posts, Gary!
It takes us about 2 1/2 days to go ~800 miles, and haven't been able to do that drive in 2 years.
Such stunning covers, looks like part of a topographic map, maybe a draw.

Thanks, Dennis.
Our annual vacation drive is less than 300 miles, but it takes us about 6 hours the last few years. Fortunately (?), my wife has located several quilt shops along our route, so those provide some welcome opportunities for me to walk around and stretch out.
The Valley Jack name came from the topographic aspect of the pile side!

...
Been missing out here, but I'm only good for so much a day. We've been getting the garden going mostly. Here's our gardening partner...

But Garden Guard Dog is suspicious:
...
But we have been getting some results.
...

Thanks for sharing some of the flora and fauna from your place, Dennis!

...

Ravishing lambsfoot!

...
Joseph Rodgers.

That jigging is memorable, Harvey!

...
The rosewood big 'un usually means there's pie nearby.

...
And England at her finest.

...

Splendid photos, David!

...
Mine too! I once heard a schoolteacher refer to a pupil as "over-nourished"
...

I like that term!

One of my beers from last night

I'll bet not many consumers of that Anchor porter can take the instructions on the cap as literally as you did, Jack!

Attractive wood, José!

Good morning Guardians, I'll be without internet a few days, hopefully I can take a few pictures to post next week, here's a recycled picture, have a great weekend

Have a good trip, Rob. Thanks for the superb knife photo!

Glad you got a break from the rain, Bill; your knife looks grand in the sunlight!

Almost lost this one in the dish.

Elegant B&W photo, GT.

Thanks, John.

It brings back some good ole memories Gary!

Valley Jack is cool:

Curse of the Vampires - stake and all.

Maybe something to do in retirement?

What about this set from Leeds Royal Armouries museum?

What a great conversation started...
What do you think guests would say if I had it displayed on the coffee table?

Have you watched "What We Do in the Shadows" the series, yet?

Hadn't heard of it, might have to check it out.

 

[JohnDF]

Good Morning Guardians and Happy Saturday

 

[r8shell]

John, do you know Euler's analysis of the 7 bridges of Königsberg problem that's often considered the start of "graph theory" as an area of mathematics?

I was not familiar with that problem, Gary, so I had to google it. I think I have a solution, but it requires swimming.

Hadn't heard of it, might have to check it out.

It was a "mockumentary" film about vampire housemates in the style of "The Real World", and subsequently made into a TV series that is even better, in my opinion.

 

[K33ncutter]

Have you seen this thread, Les? I love that old Razorback matchbook!

I had not seen that thread, pretty cool though. I am glad you enjoyed the Razorback matchbook. I am from south Arkansas and there are plenty of Razorback fans there for sure.

 

[Jack Black]

Good morning Guardians! The big’un decided to show off its backside this morning! Hope y’all have a great day!

If anything, I'd say the patina is even more attractive on that side of the blade Ron

Here's an older picture of the rosewood big'un that I'm carrying today.

Looking good Rachel Nice work on that slip too

Some exquisite ebony examples, folks!!

...

Great photos, Dave & Jack & José & John!

Thanks Gary

I can only think of @ModocEd Gary

LOL! I imagine you could make a set up like that very inexpensively John

Good Morning Guardians and Happy Saturday

Nice to see your Hartshead Barlow out of the safe John!

Very nice Les

Thanks, Jack. It isn't fancy, but it works.

 

[Modoc ED]

Thought I'd start out the new day with this picture of the knife I closed out yesterday with.

 

[WhittlinAway]

R is for Rosewood: in pocket today.

Happy Saturday, Guardians!
