StoneBeard beautiful pictures ! The bee on the flower is a great shot

Thanks friend

Good morning Guardians! I have this small Sambar in my pocket this morning.

I spent some time stropping my Candle-end Sambar Lambsfoot last night, but couldn't resist hanging onto my ebony Lambsfoot too!

Old pics in both cases I'm afraid

The Stag Lambsfoot knives have been leaving a lasting impression on me.... that’s always how it starts. Beautiful knives and greatly captures pictures . Thank you all for the wonderful shots this week.

An old picture of my original Lambsfoot and a new picture of my Guardians Lambsfoot to start the day.





Happy Friday Guardians. Hope everyone has an outstanding weekend-

Can any of you guardians speak to the quality of the ironwood versions of the lambsfoot knives compared to the less expensive models? It the price mainly for the wood and guillochage, or is the fit and finish also superior?

Absolutely wonderful pics

I have not had one of the ironwood models, it's an expensive wood here, and so far as I know, the price is just for the materials, and for the filework

I'll expect a 'Free the TEW One' campaign!

Is that the one you got in Sheffield, or a new one? The horn looks fantastic

A great friend gifted me that wonderful knife, a likable fellow by the name of Jack.

Fantastic composition my friend, you've got everything covered there!

Thanks my friend!

That sounds like a nice drop my friend A great-looking black-handled knife!

Thanks Jack.

Outstanding run of pics lately, everyone. Nice work, Guardians.

I've been quite busy with work lately, but managed to get some campfire time in, a couple of weekends ago, out in the Bunyip State Forest.

Campfire prep:

A kookaburra flew down to check out the camp, always a welcome prescence with their predilection for snake eating:

All set up to relax around the fire as dusk falls:

The billabongs and swamps of this area, are where the Bunyip stories of the Old People who once lived here, originated from:

And today I decided to bring out a couple of my favourite Lambsfoot users to make a variation on a hot Caribbean fresh peppersauce:

I used coriander/cilantro and Vietnamese hot mint, in place of the herb known in the Caribbean as Shadowbenny. Most of the ingredients were just picked from the garden, and I used a little apple cider vinegar with the savoury, umami rich liquid collected from mashing the tomatoes through a sieve, to get a nice consistency in the freshly sharpened blender.

Turned out great, delicious balance of flavours up front, and a nice clean afterburn. Next time I have some chilli-head friends around, I think I'll get some oysters, and try doing oysters in a shot glass, with a spoon of this hotsauce over the top. The Lambsfoots worked great dicing and slicing too.

What a feast of wonderful photography Chin That looks like a great trip, I wish we had more accessible woodland where I live. Nice work on that hot pepper sauce my friend, it looks delicious. I have roasted oysters in the half-shell with gruyere cheese and tabasco in the past

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. It's raining here, and I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do yet, but I have these two with me today

I hope you have a most interesting day, no matter what you do, Jack!!
It's gotta be interesting with that great Stag in your pocket!!

 

[waynorth]

Looks like an idyllic campsite, Chin!! And even though I just ate breakfast, that great looking Chili sauce is making me hungry all over again!!

Really enjoyed your post Chin . Outstanding pictures, especially the kookaburra! What a cool looking bird. I had no idea they were big snake eaters, but I’d definitely welcome them around my camp .

Your Caribbean fresh pepper sauce looks awesome and the stag on your Lambsfoot has some great character. I’m a huge fan of hot sauces, salsas and spicy foods and I’d love to get the recipe from you when time allows

Thank you my friend, the sun on that horn is spectacular

Jack, thanks for your generous encouragement of my photo endeavors. Sorry I've been so delinquent in acknowledging your kind remarks!

... Had to settle for cheese on toast, which was tasty, but it may be some time before I recover psychologically!

View attachment 860773

That cheese on toast looks like a treat, Jack! What kind of cheese do you favor? I'm a big fan of cheese on toast as well, but I typically spread fruit preserves of some kind (grape jelly and blackberry jam are a couple of favorites) on the toast before adding the slices of cheese. My daughter apparently finds this combination barbaric , but I find it delicious!

Thanks a lot guys It was certainly an adventure getting a pic of the TEW in front of the old (recently closed) works! I had to climb over a fence, commit a minor act of trespass, scramble a steep bank, and haul myself up another fence! But I did get a few pics

What a thrilling tale of adventure, Jack! I wonder who'll play you in the film adaptation?? The photos are fantastic! I especially like the one above that includes the "Eye Witness" Works sign!

Great pictures and adventure, when is the court date?

@bonzodog , flatblackcapo , and Cambertree , I have an embarrassing case of edge envy, gentlemen!!
Chin, I enjoyed your camp pics and stories! I'd never heard of the dreaded bunyip!

This knife is on the kitchen counter at all times that it's not in my pocket:

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

 

[Bartleby]

the price is just for the materials, and for the filework

It is quite nicely done filework. Milled liners as well. The one that I have does not have a perfectly centered blade, but it doesn't touch the liners either, so within the boundaries of toleration for me. As Jack points out, it is a bit pricey to pay for materials and labor, but an interesting variation.

Thanks a lot Charlie, I ended up going to York, mainly because I wanted to pick up a few things from a great hardware store there, but I had a look in a couple of antique shops too

No need for apology GT, I'm grateful to see all the pics which help to keep this thread going, and spread the Lambsfoot word to those who are missing out

Cheddar I think I'm with your daughter on the jam and cheese thing!

I'm not sure they'll be able to find anyone decrepit enough to play me GT, it would certainly take someone with great acting skills - and a first-class stunt-man of course! I'm afraid this pic was out of focus

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

You too Rob, lovely Lloyd

For none-custom knives, Wright's filework is exceptional I think. That's a shame about the blade though. Be lovely to see it sometime Bart

Hope everyone is having a great weekend I'm carrying my ebony Lambsfoot today

Looks like you've got a lot of home projects on then Jack? About 60 years backlog...
