Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Pàdruig]

couple of knives there.

That's cool Dylan, great photo

Thank you, fellas. Here is a pile side pic for today.

That's a very nice WCLF you have there Jack. Love the mini snowman too. Glad your back is feeling better but I'm going to remind you...no gymnastics!

I've probably already suggested Seven Steps to a Pain Free Life, by Robin McKenzie, all about necks and backs. Some people I know swear by it.

And pa kua .

Hard to tell which I envy you for most: knife or cigar! Both are awesome but it will have to be the knife since I gave up smoking 5 years ago.

I want to "tip my hat" to Barrett for this suggestion!

I had some PM "conversations" going recently, and last night I happened to notice that my inbox was within 3 messages of being full. I started to follow my usual practice of copying an entire old conversation, then pasting it into an empty text document (usually Word), then editing to improve formatting. I'd repeat this process a number of times until I had a document containing several old conversations I wanted to save, and then start a new document for the next set of conversations. I was in the middle of the tedious editing of the first conversation I copied when my subconscious suddenly reminded me that I had read something recently about saving old PMs, and I recalled that Barrett had mentioned saving them as web archives. So, without searching for the details, I tried it myself (since I had saved some things in the past as web archives). It worked like a lambsfoot slicing through a green seedless grape!

This morning I relatively quickly saved the oldest half of my conversations and then deleted them from the inbox. In a quick and painless process, I soon had lots of space available without losing access to interesting old PMs. I searched for Barrett's message so I could reproduce it here in expressing my gratitude!

BTW, I'm carrying my Lam Jack this week. Here's a pic from January 2018:

Hats off to Barrett, he is full of good ideas

Good to see your Lam Jack GT

Very nice Jack, Bad Kitty is a damned fine brew; glad to hear Brass Castle are still going. They keep coming up with different version of it; I can't keep up.



Thanks for that. I'm not hopeful though as Sheffield Scene also had an online shop (for certain items) and that didn't help them.

Thought I'd go for a walk in thick freezing fog this morning with the rosewood big 'un for company.

Unusually, I think I prefer the original to the stronger imperial version That definitely looks like Big 'Un weather David, love that atmospheric pics I'm not sure what I'd have thought if I'd seen that huge frog/toad coming at me through the mist!

That's a very nice WCLF you have there Jack. Love the mini snowman too. Glad your back is feeling better but I'm going to remind you...no gymnastics!

Good afternoon Guardians and all. Sunny but chilly here in South Coastal NC. Trying to get rid of some dated paper work, etc today. Havin a blast cutting up boxes with my HHB.

Thank you Bill, I just came across the wee snowman, I think it had melted a bit

Definitely no gymnastics my friend!

Great pic of your Hartshead Barlow

My first lambsfoot but not last.

Apologies for the lousy picture, I'm just getting the hang of this. I will do better on my next one, I promise.

Just needs a bit of cropping buddy So what's the verdict?

I'll see ya, and raise ya.. This is definitely the last of the Christmas pud, if anyone else has any left, they are just plain greedy..
This is pud with Double Vanilla Custard..

LOL! That looks good mate I still have my Christmas pudding - just like most years, as nobody ever has any 'room' for it after dinner - What's up with people?!

Hey Guardians Happy Saturday! Hope you are all happy and healthy.

You too Taylor, hope you're having a lovely weekend

Great pic Dylan, I hope Dry January is going OK for you pal. I always drink a lot of teas when I am on the waggon. Nice to see the pile side of your Hartshead Barlow

Thanks for that Jer, I've just put a copy in my Amazon basket

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend After being laid-up for a few weeks, I was surprised how tired I was after a 3 1/2 mile walk yesterday I have plenty of stuff to do in the house today, so don't think I'll be going far. I enjoyed carrying my WCLF so much yesterday, I thought I'd slip it in my pocket again today Enjoy your Sunday Guardians

I'm still mopping up the Christmas goodies here at Grumble Towers, and these came to me from @Reaper AL Thanks Al, they're right up my street

GT's post, in the EDC thread, gave me a hankering for a sammich

Someday maybe I'll practice what I preach.

Jack, Looks like your WCLF looks right at home with all the goodies! I can identify with your "tired legs". I've had a long layoff myself and after golf last Thursday (cart path only) it took me a couple of days to recover.

Good morning Guardians and all. I was reviewing all the knives in my small collection and also reminiscing about the knives I have relinquished. There are one or two that I have which may go on the chopping block and there a few that I wished I had not let go. Interesting hobby this. Never know where it will take you and for sure I had no idea of how many new friends I would be blessed to have.

Thanks Bill I think it's going to take us all a few years to recover from this time I don't think many folks regret discovering The Porch

Couldn't decide which knife to show off today so thought I'd just post up a picture of my entire flock.

I'm glad that worked for you, GT!

Thanks, Jack. That's certainly one of the better things a person could be told they're full of.

Jelly's first snowfall! It's a north Texas winter wonderland!

 

[herder]

While we mostly see the classic swayback handle lamb foot models, older lamb Foot knives were actually offered in a wide array of shapes and sizes.
Lamb foot blades were also offered in a number of different multi-blade sportsman's knives.
Enclosed is a different handle shape (straight swell center) next to a "standard" model as seen in a post WWII Joseph Rodgers catalog.

That Swell Centre is interesting isn't it, I think I have a few pages from that same catalogue, and also some of the knives from it, though sadly not a Lambsfoot. The pages were given to me by John Maleham, and it looks like Wright's or Howarth's were actually contracted to make some of those knives

Seeing your sammich makes me hungry, Jack!!
Nice lunch companion also!!

Thanks buddy

Thank you for that, it is good to know. Finding one (or three...) not encrusted with rust, blades not sharpened to extinction and requiring a second mortgage for the purchase, is a different story.
