Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

What a pleasant surprise today. :)
Got the coolest pouch from JohnDF JohnDF :thumbsup: :cool:.
It's just perfect and it solves my carrying issues for knives without lanyards as I can clip it to my Victorinox belt clip and drop it in my pocket :thumbsup::).

My ebony lamb had the privilege of going in first :) and it was totally overwhelmed by the soft embrace of well crafted leather ... especially after putting up with my crazy antics for a year and a half where I forced it to pose for pics in precarious situations and surviving it :D

Gracias John :)

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good week. Mine has certainly been enhanced by better weather, and I'm meeting up with my best pal today. I haven't seen him for over a month, as he had the Covid, so it'll be nice to catch up. Blowing the cobwebs away with some Bagpipe Ebony! ;) Have a good Friday Guardians :thumbsup:

That Bagpipe ebony is sure looking good Jack!
 
I'm having some technical difficulties here Guardians, and about to go offline. I might be down for a day or two. Hopefully normal service will resume as soon as possible :thumbsup:

Thanks Jack, Forest of Bowland, Lancashire.
I thought they were War Department boundary markers for marking training areas but it appears there the original War Department Ordnance Survey Markers. It'll be pre-1857 as after that date the W.D became the War Office.

Here is the well loved Herbert Robinson that I picked up recently, obviously the Blade has had sharpening as you can see but these great old knives command a presence don't they!
The Knife arrived, Sellers photos were terrible and I took a chance, I am very happy with this Old thing- even though it has had it's fair share in sharpening, I admit, I did take down very slowly and carefully the kick to sit down the exposed tip, the Knife did not want to open or close all that nicely- you could tell the Knife had not seen Oil for decades.
So I went to work cleaning it out by simply by adding some drops of Oil and working it, and you could almost hear the Knife sighing lol.
I did this a few times and my friends the stunning smooth walk and talk came back this lovely Ol' Knife.
Great ol Stove-Pipe Kick, Nice Bone Handles, showing afairly Basic- but Nice Jig pattern, Nickle Silver Bolsters.
I love the Deep Lambsfoot - under the Loupe the edges seem to be very sharp- Im thinking that this is a Stamp and not etching!
I also really, really like the Font used on the HERBERT ROBINSON SHEFFIELD Stamping on the Tang!
The Blade sharpened to scary sharp extremely quickly!!! :eek:

anyway.... here it is...

Here are my latest two Lambsfoot Knives, you can see the difference the Blades - even though The Robinson being very well sharpened down, being both Lambsfoot patterns the differences in Blade profiles these Knives had starting out when new.
Still- to this day both Knives look superb imo.
Have a great night / day folks

What a beautiful oldie! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Welp, I'm pretty sure the sago palm didn't recover from the big freeze last month. I've been hoping to see a few new green fronds sprout at the top, but nothing yet.

The Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot is posing, but I'll use the long handled loppers to trim the dead stuff. Those dry fronds are very pokey. :eek:

I think the coldest it got down to was 6 degrees (F) Usually that will only kill potted ones, but we had a record-setting six straight days when it never got above freezing. The ground must have froze enough to kill the roots.

I've just had sausage rolls and Danish pastries for lunch! :D Good to hook up with my mate :thumbsup:

Hope you're having a pleasant weekend, my friend. Around here it's starting to feel like Spring might be getting closer!:D

That is cold. Worst of it here was 24F in the 25 years we have been here. Because we haven't had all day freezes, I have been able to run sprinklers in the afternoon. As the water evaporates during the night it seems to provide up to 5 degrees of warmth.
