Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Cambertree]

Thanks for the recipe, Chin I spent a considerable amount of time traveling for work and since my return I’ve neglected to make a favorite Mexican raw salsa recipe that was given to me by my wife’s step father, who is from Mexico City.

It’s going to take me a little time to track down everything for the Caribbean Pepper sauce, but it’s on my short list and will definitely be happening here soon. In the meantime I had easy access to everything I needed for the raw salsa, so I threw together a batch last evening. Of course the Guardians Lambsfoot was my trusty companion for the task.

Oh, wow, gentlemen. I love spicy food and both of your sauce/salsa examples have me salivating. Fantastic stuff! And, of course, it's great seeing the handsome lambsfoot knives that helped make those tasty creations a reality.

Wonderful outdoor pictures, too, from you both. Thanks for sharing!

Brother Stonebeard kindly sent me a couple of authentic Mexican salsa picante recipes, recently. This morning I was able to try making a version of a rough chopped pico - although mine ended up a little
finer in texture than I intended. That had no bearing on the taste though!

This hot salsa's so delicious I've been eating it by the spoonful!

I substituted a couple of ingredients not locally available, threw in a handful of chilli peppers from the garden, along with a couple of dried Bhut Jolokia 'Ghost' chilli pods for good measure, and used some chips to scoop it up. Soooo good paired with a cold beer, enjoyed outside on a hot day.

Thanks @StoneBeard, my friend, for that amazingly tasty recipe. (I'll be making that avocado based hot salsa, you posted earlier, tomorrow.)

Too late for a coffee where I live Chin, but I did enjoy a good bowl this evening. However, I would rather have had a bowl of that salsa! Cambertree

I’ve been MIA for over a week now. So, I’m back today and wishing all of my fellow Guardians a blessed Easter Sunday! Today I’m Totin one of my small Sambar Lambsfoots along with another special knife for this special day! I’m glad to be back!

@StoneBeard Thanks again for the salsa recipe ! Marco's Mexico City special is indeed special, made my first batch today, I foresee many future batches and some experimental variations in the amounts of each ingredient.

Love that Stag, Ron!!

So what is the Special Day knife???

Thanks Charlie! Case Norfolk see post #113107 in What Traditional Knife are you Totin today thread!

When you think about it, a LAMBsfoot is a very fitting Easter knife. I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend!
Here's a stag lambsfoot model I won in a GAW sponsored by R.c.s. about 2.5 years ago?


It's kind of fancy for a guy like me!

Thanks Leslie, I like that pipe, my friend.

That Michael May custom Lambsfoot in bocote wood of yours is just magnificent, too. Definitely one of the nicest Lambsfoot knives I've seen since the Guardians run. I think you chose well in having him leave the original A. Wright blade shape. It makes me think how spectacular a Lambsfoot would look with covers made from a marbled black and white ebony, like the billets Lambertiana showed previously in the thread.

Looks delicious!

And in another instalment of the Lambsfoot-in-the-Kitchen Hot Salsa chronicles, Marco's Mexico City Special was heartily approved of by all at a family Easter Sunday gathering yesterday!

Yes this is definitely a recipe that will see many future batches and experimental variations! In fact after tasting it, my sister-in-law gave me a bunch of jalapeños and habeneros from her garden, so I rough sliced a few with my ebony Lambsfoot this morning, added a couple of dried Ghost chilli pods, and some sorrel and Vietnamese hot mint from the garden and added it into the leftover salsa. Superb!

I’m off to Wally World to make an exchange this morning. I dropped a couple in my pocket and this Oakedge just happened to be one of them! I was just thinking, for my Guardian friends in other parts of the world, Wally World is an affectionate slang term some of us use for Walmart.

Thank you for the compliment Chin. Cambertree Michael May does make a fine knife. In hand, they feel very substantial. He has modeled his traditional knives after Trevor Ablett’s. I have decided to search out one of those Abletts and make the comparison myself. Like you, I would like to see more variety in handle materials. I keep hearing rumors of a GEC Lambsfoot. If true, I am sure they will have some interesting covers.

Good morning Guardians and here’s to a great week! I believe I will now go for a second cup of coffee to fortify myself for the day.

Hi Guardians

Hope everyone has had a good Easter/Passover, I've missed y'all I just got back from my trip, think I'm going to stay at home for my birthday next year! The rain has barely stopped since Thursday here, and there was all sorts of bad luck - the restaurant I booked went bust last week, the antiques centre I wanted to visit closed down, the gig I was attending in York was cancelled, and some of the food I ate made me ill, then when I got back home, I went to put a couple of pies in the oven, and the oven door fell off!! That's just some of it! I was certainly glad to have a Lambsfoot or two to keep me company





(Taken me 15 minutes to upload these pics! What's going on?! My internet connection seems to be OK, but I'm finding it slloooowwww here! )

Great to have you back, Jack, but my, you've had some rotten luck. So sorry to hear of your troubles, hopefully this week turns out better for you.

Maybe a little spring to brighten your day?

Lovely pics Jack! Love the one on the rail
I always heard bad luck comes in threes, sounds like you got a double dose my friend.

Thanks a lot buddy, that's a wonderful pic I'm hoping to catch up this week - if I don't come down with mumps (unexpectedly came into contact)!!

Glad to have you back Jack! Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck. Hopefully thinks will be looking up now!

Have I mentioned that the lambsfoot is a useful pattern?

Removing a very kink-prone portion on a supposedly kink-free hose. The rubber was no match for a well-honed A. Wright blade.

Great stuff Greg!

That patina is really coming along

Had this along for part of the day

Very easy to get lost in those covers

Great pic Leslie, that's a fine-looking pipe, and it goes well with your Lambsfoot
