Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good idea about the photos.

I just realized that there is a limit to how many pics fit in one post so this may not work.

Jack Black yea dry January...

I have to go reload on the mineral water and lime actually a pretty refreshing sipper.

Glad you're having fun "Snow! Snow! Snow!"

I don't know if it helps ....

Every little bit helps, thank you.

I think you'd benefit from reading this in full

That exact quotation reminded me of my molecular genetics professor. And here I was, thinking I was done with homework when I finished my post grad. Yes sir, I will do that as time permits, but even this old body needs about four hours of sleep a night even if though now I'm going on my second 24 hours without sleep.

That's true Dan, only 20. Still it may be worth adding a few photos

I've done it my friend Good luck Taylor

I'm flattered! If everyone read post #1 before making a post here, it'd save a lot of time, both for the poster, and often for the rest of us, and if you read it carefully, it may answer some of the questions you've asked

Reading this may also save you some heartache

Thanks for the lunch inspiration, Jack .

I bet you were David, that Christmas cake seems to have sustained and nourished you through the last fortnight And the last mince pie and Christmas ale Hope you enjoy them mate

Have you not heard of it David? I'm sure you've probably used some at some point High-speed steel

Thanks Jack, I probably have in the past just can't recall. I'll take a look at that when my internet starts to behave again.

I had an idea last night Guardians!

How about we complete a list of makers of the Lambsfoot pattern? It's unlikely to ever be exhaustive, but might be both interesting and helpful. Here's a few to start with. I'm looking for factory-made knives, since custom makers may only make one or two (I've included Trevor Ablett because he was a jobbing cutler who made a lot of Lambsfoot knives). If you can give me some more names, based on knives that you have (feel free to show them), I'll edit the names in


Trevor Ablett

Alfred Blackwell

Abram Brooksbank

George Butler

John Clarke & Sons (William Rodgers)

Thomas Ellin

Joseph Elliot & Sons

Harrison Brothers & Howson

William Hawcroft & Sons

James Howarth

W.R. Humphreys (Humphreys Radiant)

Christopher Johnson

Lockwood Brothers

Thomas Makin & Son

John Milner

Needham Brothers

Albert Oates

Herbert Robinson

Joseph Rodgers & Sons

William Saynor

Sheffield Cutlery Co-operative Society (Unity)

Taylor's Eye Witness

Thomas Turner

Thomas Ward

E. Watts

Waynorth Cutlery

George Wostenholm & Sons

Arnold Wragg

Arthur Wright & Son

Great idea, I've nothing to add unfortunately.

Enjoying those wonderful photo's of the Winter Shots.
Its very warm here in New Zealand at this time of Year.

a very sad time for our Family, we had to make the hardest decision and say goodbye to our Sweet wee Izzy - who you see on my Avatar - she was 16 years old, and we were gauging her quality of life very carefully- she did extremely well and was still a happy girl- just her old Bones failed her in the last 48 hours so I promised her never to let her suffer.

I have always loved my beautiful furry friends like they are my Children, my first dog was a Beautiful Rotti- Luke, he got to 14 & 1/2- it was the same for him too- his bones and joints just got too weak, then we ha little Murphy who was a rescue pup, it was devastating that we had to say goodbye at 2 & 1/2 because of a Terminal Tumour in his wee Head.

And now we are left so incredibly lonely with our gorgeous Girl Izzy - just so so devastated just getting through the day is very hard, but we will get there as we do, I am so glad we were with her all this time over Christmas, it was amazing just how in the last 48 hours she advanced so much towards that horrible time. I was praying that she just wouldnt wake up from her sleep - but we had to make that horrible call.
Death would not be Death for me if I knew my great mates and I were to join up again.

Back to knives..
I changed my EDC the other day, and my lovely Horn Lambsfoot awaits a final touch up to be ready for my pocket- I will do that soon.
Heres an older Photo of the Beauty Knife!

Very sorry, Duncan. Stay strong sir. Lean on those you love and prop each other up.

Lovely horn there.

That is very sad news indeed Duncan, I really feel for you brother, and Sue Enjoy carrying your 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot my friend

Having only been founded in 1947, Wright's may never have been one of the great Sheffield cutlery firms, but they have certainly never sunk to a lower ebb. Is there anyone who DOESN'T think this is blatant theft?!

Not a Lambsfoot, but Wright's have never, ever used that stamp on a folding knife, and never made a bolster even remotely like that, before I commissioned them (under the previous management) to make the Hartshead Barlows. Shameful

 

[Nature Boy]

Ouch.

 

[Nature Boy]

I should think Wrights would be forever indebted to your efforts, and the recognition and business you brought them. The Sheffield Lambsfoot has become a treasured part of many collections, when it wasn’t so long ago that they would sit around for extended periods on the exchange or on the auction site.
Hopefully the history books will get it right, at least.

So sorry to hear about Izzy, Duncan.

Not a Lambsfoot, but Wright's have never, ever used that stamp on a folding knife, and never made a bolster even remotely like that, before I commissioned them (under the previous management) to make the Hartshead Barlows. Shameful

I’m trying to think of Porch-appropriate words…

I remember that in the not too distant past that Wright made me this knife . It has RoseWood covers. I no longer own the knife as it was too similar to one of your SFO's (and it was upsetting to you). I actually had to send it off to be "fixed" due to its poor fit and finish. Once I got it "fixed" it was a decent Lambfoot knife but I just couldn't have it around knowing the history you had with Wright so it's now with someone else. Unfortunately, it's likely legal for Wright's to do it but in my opinion not honorable.

A touching tribute to your beloved Izzy Duncan.
She was so fortunate to be loved so very much and cared for so well.
