Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

That looks better and better John

Thank you, Jack.
It takes a while to build a patina because I have other dedicated food knives... plus I Flitz it once a month.

I have now been given the role of Chief Arabic Speaker, in addition to Head Bag Passer and Cake Cutter

All those roles sound super important, they found the right man for the jobs.

Good-looking knife Mike How do you find it? The Pen on mine was a bit of a beast to open, and I found I wasn't really using it

Hope everyone is having a nice day I'm just back from Leeds Market, and thought I'd drop in before I have to go and cook for the arrival of Her Majesty! I picked up some nice-looking vine tomatoes and red peppers in the market, and I have a bunch of basil to use, so I'm going to make soup. It's been cold here today, but dry and pleasant otherwise, and it was fun in the market. After a couple of hilarious transactions on my mate's tool stall, I have now been given the role of Chief Arabic Speaker, in addition to Head Bag Passer and Cake Cutter

Thanks Jack. I have the opposite issue. The nick on the main is hidden behind the pen, and it's a fairly strong pull. Definitely not one to try opening with wet fingers Mine doesn't get much carry either as a result. But once you get it open, it works just fine

Hope you have an enjoyable meal, and congrats on your promotion

The advantage of a single blade..

It's a very small pond my friend!

I don't think that is uncommon Mike Looks like it's working for you there though buddy

Yes indeed I always thought the Lambsfoot and Pen would be a great combination, but manufacturing issues aside, I find that, with a Lambsfoot, I don't really need a secondary blade, particularly a wide, chunky one, which isn't a lot shorter than the Lamb. I think it makes better sense with a longer Lambsfoot blade, and a more slender Pen, but even then, I think I'd rather have just the Lambsfoot

A bit harsh, but funny.

In truth, I'd fight tooth and nail to maintain my position as Head Cake Cutter!

It's the story of 100% of my Wright's two-bladers.

Might be the blade type, i have a 2 blade and it's not an issue. I'm skirting the edges here, not a lamb.. Sorry.

Mine was a lambsfoot, with the pen blade covering the main nick completely. I ground the pen till I could reach the main nick, then cut an EO notch because the regrind didn't quite do the job, then deleted the pen anyway because I couldn't open it without a screwdriver.

(Brass pin because it's cheaper than nickel silver. I don't think it was quite the right diameter though.)

We buy 3 cakes for £1, so there's always plenty of cake to be tasted!

It's certainly not a general problem with 2-blade Jack's, but let's confine ourselves to talking about Lambsfoot patterns, please

Thanks- here's the second one.

You can always try and replace it.

True. It's fine for now though. The spring is a little high when the blade's open, but that helps keep me awake.

Tonights dinner, smokehouse jambalaya. Sausage medallions needed to be halved and of course doused liberally with the Relish. View attachment 1674558
