That’s some great looking food from the pubs Jack!
I bet you’re really missing that option! The Real Lamb Foot on my Slater is definitely an etch Jack! I’m not sure but I’m leaning towards acid etch. The knife is beautifully made! I’m glad I was able to get it!
I sure am Ron, even the pubs that are open seem to be only doing a limited menu, and I don't know when I'll be able to get over to Sheffield again
An acid etch is certainly more likely, not many cutlers ever used laser etching in Sheffield, but the small acid-etching etching devices were compact, inexpensive, and readily available there. Of course it could have been etched on a machine like the ones Wright's use, which leave a deeper etch. How does it compare to the etch on your Guardian's knives for example, it looks like it's more of a surface etch, but of course it's hard to tell from a photograph? It was a great find my friend
I received this Standard Lambfoot with Buffalo Horn covers some time ago.
After a bit of use it turned into this.
I turned to Jason
@Signalprick to see if he could recover the knife and he accepted the challenge.
This is what he sent back to me. A wonderfully recovered Lambfoot with "Snakewood" covers. He did a great job. Notice the thin Red G-10 accent liners and notice the well centered blade with the blade tip nestled nicely in the frame.
I just got the knife out of our mail box 30-minutes ago. More and better pictures to follow when the lighting is better.
Congratulations Ed, fantastic job there by
@Signalprick 
What happened to the original horn Ed, I forget now? Looking forward to seeing more of that one

Or words to that effect.
I think we mostly drank in our flats when I was on foreign study. There was a pub across from our flat on the corner of Ladbroke Grove and Portobello Road that we went to at least once. They didn't seem very wild about us, but maybe we were too many at once. I want to say John Noakes, but that may have been the undertaker next door.
[I just googled it: John Nodes was the funeral parlor next door. ]
LOL!
I mainly drank in
The Elgin Jer, which is a 'gastropub' now!
As you know, that area has changed massively since we lived there
I haven't even been in that area since 1989, and I barely recognised it then, it even looks different on the map now. There were some funny pubs round there for sure, every time I see a certain fight scene in the
Trainspotting film, I am reminded of a pub on Portobello Road
John Noakes was a children's TV presenter on
Blue Peter!
Thanks Jack, we are getting a jump on it, I've been packing all afternoon, did some outside work this morning before it got too hot.
Taking a break from packing so I decided to try this IPA. I've been on an IPA kick this summer, trying a different one weekly. For my preference this is a great one
At 5% it's light and refreshing, very well balanced IPA
I had 1 and went back to work, sure would have been easy to pound down a couple of more but I would have suffered a scolding from the wife upon her arrival home from work
These 20 by 16 inchers the beer is perched on sure were a joy to load and unload
not.
That looks like thirsty work Rob
Both beer and Lambsfoot look tip-top my friend
Thank you Jack Yes. It’s a B.O.S.S. 35. Solid brass, forced-aged, programmable, and capable of 3000L with an extensition tube.
What a great environment to enjoy such mouth watering goodness. Hope you can recapture that experience someday soon, my friend. Enjoy your Sunday hike.
Great looking hafts, Ed.
Thanks for the info Harvey, that sounds spectacular, and it's certainly a great-looking flashlight
Thanks a lot pal
Now
that’s the good stuff!
That looks great, Ed!
Also, I forgot to say it the other day, congrats on being done with wound care! Hope you’re feeling good!
Fantastic pic Barrett, it sure was great to have your company for the day my friend
Happy memories
By the way, you should be getting a small package from me very soon
