Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[black mamba]

Mighty fine, Charlie; a guy could just settle down with that one and never need another . . . that is, if he wasn't a knife tramp like me!

"Just our luck! We have to run into a poison Achtung!" "It means "attention", Mr. Smart."

LOL! Preparing to repel difficult customers! Nice pic of your Rosewood Big 'Un Jer

I am in complete agreement, Dylan, but it's getting Hot again today!!

Made me grab this "cool" knife to carry out today!!
Made by whoever bought the Joseph Rodgers trademark, It went to Montana, USA from Sheffield, then to glennbad for a new suit of South-Asian Stag clothes!! Then it was gifted to me!! In Canada!!
I thank Dave, @knowtracks and Glenn for the steps that put this now-international beauty into my pocket!!
The company that took over Joseph Rodgers, put some of JR's legendary quality into this knife; great W&T and fitment!! And Glenn's work only iced the cake!!
Thanks all!!View attachment 1576189View attachment 1576190

That IS a cool knife Charlie, and a very well-travelled one glennbad really worked his magic

And, of course, a glamor pic.

But it's a dandy, Dylan! Likefinding a '57 Chevy that needs just a little attention!

Your horn on that one looks pristine A1, Jose!

Interesting photo of your Big 'Un Dennis, do you ever carry it in that sheath?

Thanks Jack. Actually the sheath belongs to a German made "Herbert Mazo" fillet knife I had picked up that I also photographed, just used the sheath as a prop. Maybe I can post a photo of it in the "Sportsman" thread Charlie started recently.

Thanks again my friend, and I hope you get some sunny days and blue skies

We did get some blue sky today! Probably more rain tonight and tomorrow.

It's late afternoon here in Yorkshire, and I am back from my weekly trip to the market, where there is always something different to be found...

I have a hewing axe I need to re-hang, and I like those axes, but as for the recoilless tank slapper, been around too many RPS's to ever want to touch another. I had trained in the Infantry to use the Dragon and LAW antitank weapons, which was exciting at the time.

Beautiful, Charlie!! Indeed an International Knife of Mystery!!

Had some time on my hands where I had to just sit today, so I took a couple of photos of the Ironwood, love this knife!

I know why mate, mine is just a sturdy work knife, and keeps it's edge, but my scales have gone dark brown from use. Good to see you around, have a good weekend mate. .

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks, Jack; glad you like it!!

I certainly do Charlie

I suppose it was a bit of a wild guess Dennis! That's one of several threads I hope I can get caught up with, been a busy week

Glad to hear about the sunshine buddy, and I hope it's not long before it returns At least one of those axes is over 100 years old, and has really nice balance, but I have more than enough axes already I hope you still have your hearing Dennis! I'm glad you're enjoying that one my friend

I know why mate, mine is just a sturdy work knife, and keeps it's edge, but my scales have gone dark brown from use. Good to see you around, have a good weekend mate. .

I have been surprised how much some of that Ironwood has darkened. Hope you're doing OK in lockdown Leon

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good week Mine has been OK, but gone fast because of the holiday Monday, and I have had quite a bit of work on. Sunny start to the day here, and I'm hoping it continues over the weekend. Unfortunately, I've had my hike yet again, as there's a triathlon running in the city, and (as per usual), the route completely cuts me off from the countryside. Both main roads on either side of my street will be closed, the ring-road to the north, and the junction to the south, so I am basically cut off! I'm hoping I can sneak across enemy lines, and go for a walk in some local woodland Have a good Friday Guardians, and an even better weekend Carrying my Hartshead Barlow again today

Nice one! Is that cocobolo?

Can I ask you gent to post a few pics of barlows from A. Wright? I'm considering a cuctom...

The only 'Barlows' Wright's have in their standard range do not have Lambsfoot blades (nor are they actually Barlows). You'd be better asking in another thread, such as this one Jacques

Thank you very much, Dennis.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Thank you very much, Jacques. It's not cocobolo, it's Ironwood.

I couldn't resist picking up a few tools in the market yesterday

Thank you for the reply Jack Black but ... you left me confused. What are those two knives i quoted then?
The world of traditional folders is new to me and understanding it can sometimes feel harder than navigating through bureaucracy in a tax-office

Hi Jacques, I can understand the confusion - sorry if I added to it! Those are knives of my design, commissioned as a limited run some years ago, and no longer available I'm afraid They were made when Wright's had a different ownership, and their design is exclusive to me. Another company, Eggington, produce Lambsfoot Barlows, with stainless blades, with both the old George Wostenholm - IXL and Joseph Rodgers marks, which they acquired some years ago. I can't post a link because it would break the sub-forum guidelines, but I'm sure you can find them easily enough. Here is an image of one of the 'IXL' models, taken from the net

I see that another Guardians milestone is approaching - 50,000 posts! Well done to those of you who have read them all! Have to have a think about a giveaway

Edit - Oooh! I just discovered a prize!

Speaking of Black Friday,

Your HHB is looking fine , Jack. And it looks as though you found some nice tools to keep it company! Hope your sunny weather holds out....here in NC, it is a wash-out. Torrential down pours. We needed the rain badly and it is coming in bucket loads. Not really too much of a concern for me as I have a freshly sodded lawn and palms require much water. Also, I am still unpacking; indoor work. Looks as though we are now in a rainy time for the next week. Humidity level is oppressive. I usually go for walks around our lake and I will continue to do so but I'll be wearing rain gear - just a little uncomfortable to have on since it is so warm outside and wet.

Keeping my HHB close to me again.
