Well done Phil, nice composition :) Welcome to the Guardians :thumbsup:

I came across one of those CK knives a while back, an odd Lambsfoot, but better than some of the more recent knives they've designated as such o_O :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear that Dan, we're not alone here, in fact I had never heard of sleep apnea before I came to The Porch. The fellers here were more useful in terms of diagnosing it than my doctor had been o_O Unfortunately, I have struggled with my CPAP machine for a while because of a longstanding cough, but I need to get back into using it again :thumbsup:

There's no stopping you now Phil! :D :) Who are the makers of the two outer knives? :thumbsup:

Jack, so sorry to hear about your mate. Best wishes for him and his family - hopefully he pulls through ok.



Jer, good to hear that you might not have Covid but I hope your health improves all the same. Hoping for a speedy recovery!


Carrying a favorite today.

Thank you very much Dylan :) That's definitely a Taylor (@tmd_87 ) Beer I reckon! :D Nice photo buddy, the grey patina on your Waynorth Lambsfoot blade looks good :) :thumbsup:

JakeBlight,
Interesting to see another uncommon lambfoot model without bolsters which is called a "shadow" pattern as Jack mentioned. I would also agree with Jack that it dates to the 1940s to 1950s era.
I would be curious to know if you can make out a maker's stamp on the blade just above the handle. Enclosed is a similar example from the same era by H. Rowbotham who were out of business by 1969.

Hello my friend, I was thinking of you just yesterday (as I often do), I hope you're keeping well :) Great photo, and an interesting Lambsfoot knife there :) :thumbsup:

Jack,
Sorry to hear about your friend and I hope he recovers quickly.

Thanks for the video of "Clanadonia". Very entertaining and my son will certainly enjoy seeing it tomorrow.

Darn cold stretch of weather here in the great northern part of the country. After waking up to 15 below yesterday, it warmed up to a balmy 0.
Enclosed is a picture to show that it can be pretty decent around here at least part of the year... :)

Thanks pal, I am glad his missus has been vaccinated too, as she is also a frontline worker :thumbsup:

I came across Clanadonia entirely by chance on YouTube. They busk in the streets of the big Scottish towns, so with some luck, maybe we will see them if we ever make it up there together :) I wish I had half their energy :rolleyes: :thumbsup:


That's pretty cold! :eek: I just heard that it was minus 18 in the Scottish town of Sterling last night, but that's unusually cold for here. Lovely photo, and I hope you get an early Spring and warmer days ahead :) :thumbsup:

Same here Dan, I found myself browsing restaurant menus at 3.00am :rolleyes: Hope you slept through once you eventually dropped off :) Classic photo my friend :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, it's bright and sunny here, with about an inch of snow. Hoping I get a chance to walk round the block at least today :rolleyes: Hope everyone is having a good week so far, and that you stay safe and well. I thought I'd go with some Rosewood today :) I haven't carried this one in ages, Originally, I'd thought it would be in my pocket a lot, but its Sambar cousin went and monopolised my pocket :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

Thanks Jack, yes I eventually dropped off :) and hope you too were able to do so.
While reading a few pages back last night I read about your pal tested positive for covid.
No wonder you could not sleep.
I wish and hope he clears it quickly with no serious symptoms or complications.

That's good Dan :) Yes, not quite as bad as the previous night, when worrying about my pal was definitely a factor. Thank you my friend, I spoke to him this morning, and he is only displaying the mildest of symptoms, and is isolating from the rest of the family, and catching up with his reading. His wife and kids also have to isolate of course, but are all OK currently :thumbsup: I just spoke to my elderly neighbours, and their son, who is in his early50's, now has it, after working with a colleague who came into work despite clearly displaying symptoms. They are particularly concerned for their grandson, who has Type 1 diabetes :( I guess these sort of dramas are being played out all around the world, and there are a lot of worried people :( :thumbsup:

Some Lambsfoot content :thumbsup:

Fantastic to see you here Dwight, it's been a great day for old friends dropping in :) What a wonderful photo, both of your Damascus Lambsfoot, and of that...what is it...an old prospecting hammer or rock hammer of some sort? It looks quite fabulous anyway my friend :) I hope that you are keeping well :) :thumbsup:

Thanks Jack! Great to hear from you my friend. The tool is a Cooper's adze. Picked it up in the boonies at a flea market and put a new handle on it made out of a piece of blackjack oak. We are doing well all things considered. Stay safe.

Wow! Fantastic Dwight! :cool: Such a hugely important profession historically. I know an old feller who was a cooper, and have enjoyed hearing him talk about his trade. That's a really cool piece Dwight, you did a great job of re-hafting it :cool: I'm glad to hear you're keeping well my friend, and hope it stays that way :) That's another gorgeous photo :thumbsup:
