Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Half/Stop]

Did ya check out Vincent's Pub in the big hotel?

No we didn’t Vince! We don’t stay at the big hotel. We just admire it from a distance. It’s cheaper that way!

I didn't stay there either, but I wandered in and walked around. There is a pub that is partly underground, and has an entrance on the outside also of the hotel. I remember the name, of course! Had a martini there (wife probably had a glass of wine or a margarita).
I stayed at a small, two-story hotel on the east side of the island.

Good Morning...lizard brain not fully awake...chilly monday...2 questions:
Who won the recent gaw? And
congratulations to whomsoever that is.
And what kills the biggest spider in my garage? This specimen easily straddling my hand....not an exoskeleton but a corpse...Im thinking a smaller more venomous spider...
No insecticides in there that I know of.

Not something you would find lurking in the blueberries JTB_5
Cheers.Sorry for the interruption...normal service will shortly resume.

As for what kills a spider like that, maybe it was one like this. Took this picture in my garage a while back.

Another place you could look is in this thread in early April, starting around page 1900, and find that several Guardians posted group photos of their entire flocks. The knives aren't identified by name in most cases, but if you see something about which you'd like more info, I'll bet you could quote the post in question and ask the poster for details.

Awesome!! will check these out for sure, nice to have a ballpark page reference

You too Dylan! How are you doing buddy? Great pic there, what's the whisky like, I've not had that one?

Thank you, Jack! I am keeping pretty well. Busy as always but nothing that is keeping me down for too long. Summer has seemed to finally arrive so I've been occupied with my garden and some summer house projects.

The Magnus is a decent dram - separate from and not nearly as intense as the Islays I typically favor, it still has a nice "smokey" air to it. I find it to be a bit on the lighter side but quite smooth - it pairs nicely with a stronger cigar or pipe. Overall, a nice whisky at a decent price and though it is a "single malt", it follows the recent trend of not providing any sort of age...

In 2018, aware that Wright's had managed to obtain a small amount of vintage Sambar stag, I commissioned the 'Ashley's Choice' Lambsfoot SFOs. There was just enough stag to make 28 knives, which were the smaller Lambsfoot size. I gave the cutler the choice between a threaded or fluted bolster, hence the name. For once, everything went right with this run!

I always enjoy seeing the pictures of the AC collection, easily your finest SFO.

I was digging through some old pictures and came across this one from a misty morning awhile back when the Stag and blade had not developed a lot of patina quite yet.

Why thank you Jack. I don’t believe anyone has ever called me gorgeous, before.

Crazy awesome bolsters!

Thank you John.

I don’t know who won the giveaway, but I do know that if that guy were lurking in the blue berries it would be to catch one of those noisy crows—what a specimen!

Those I’ve seen. Not ones I’d like to see again.

Thanks for all your comments on Jake. There is a hole or vent pipe in the warehouse roof that lets that little spot of light in. If I time my lunch break just right, I can sneak a knife pic in.

This is my only day off this week so I have lots of stuff to take care of before Monday strikes again.
I hope y'all are having a great weekend.

Very cool Kevin, and that's another fantastic pic there, you are very imaginative Sorry you only had a one-day weekend, hope this week will be a little easier for you

Thanks GT. You know looking at your Black Jack and thinking about the bagpipe ebony got me thinking. I wonder if any knife makers have ever thought of using old pianos to source ebony (and ivory). We've my great-great-aunts upright in our house which would need about £3000 to renovate it. But according to my cousin who is a professional violinist and pianist old pianos (unless there one of the revered names) are just about worthless. It's got all it's keys and a lovely faded walnut case. You could make dozens of pocket knife covers out of it, and one ebony covered pocket knife would exceed the value of the entire piano.

Just to clarify that the 2018 ebony Guardians knives weren't bagpipe ebony. In the 1960's, thousands of old upright pianos were destroyed here, as fashions changed (and TV became more accessible). As a young boy, I was very excited to get the ivory keys from ours, but they were just wood, with a thin veneer on top I think the penalty for trying to ship ivory out of the UK is now up to 5 years imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine!

It's a hot afternoon here, just had a good meal off the grill, I could use a drink and a nap

Sounds like a good day Rob Looks like your pal enjoyed it too

Who won the recent gaw?

Cancelled due to lack of entries When I do another giveaway, I'll add the nominees to the hat

Better late than never Guardians! Hope y’all have had a good day! Big stag again today!

A few more photos from our trip!

Love the pics Ron

I'm glad to hear that Dylan, hope you have a great summer buddy Thanks for your thoughts on the Highland Park Magnus, I'll give it a try if I see it. I do dislike the current trend for named blends without details of the age, it seems like a con-trick

Thank you my friend, I also have a fondness for the ACs, they were a lot less trouble than the other SFOs! Nice photo

Good Morning Guardians! I hope everyone had a great weekend More miserable weather here in Yorkshire, and since I have plenty to do at home, I don't think I'll be going far. Hope everyone's week gets off to a good start

Bit more Lambsfoot content please Guardians

10 4 Good Buddy...
And what? Even pre ban ivory products?

Yeah, so I understand mate. Even before that you needed certification for each individual piece, which would be prohibitively expensive with pocket knives. I've shipped a few pieces, when the penalty was just confiscation, but I don't fancy a five stretch! In the words of Big Vern: "I ain't going grey in no chokey for no one!"

I've heard plenty of stories of folks having bone-handled knives impounded too

 

[Jack Black]

Had a couple of these last night

Thanks Jack!

Good morning Guardians! Hope y’all are well! We were awoken this morning by a fire alarm. We’re on the third floor of a three story hotel. After we got the clear to go back in we heard that some DA had set off the alarm with steam from their shower! I looked in our room and the alarm is 10 feet from the door to the bathroom. So I’m thinking they were smoking or burned something in the microwave. I’m definitely NOT buying the steam story. I’m recycling a sunrise photo from another trip to Jekyll Island. But, it’s a good one! Lambsfoot content will be my stag big’un again! Have a great day!
