Good morning Guardians and all, I hope you all have a great Holiday Season. Today is sunny and bright outside albeit chilly but warming into the 50's. Picking up my youngest daughter at the Myrtle Beach airport this morning. Coming in on the red eye from the West Coast. We'll have all three of my children in with their significant others. House full! Recycled photo.

Not much light, though I slept till almost 8.

Great picture, GT.

Thanks, John. I saved a few old lambsfoot Christmas photos for the final few days before Christmas and for the holiday itself.

By the way, my lambsfoot assigned to me by my rotation schedule for this week is Black Jack, my 2018 ebony Guardians lambsfoot. Here are mark and pile side photos in a little campus woodlot in June 2018, soon after I received the knife:

I consider the '18 Ebony to be one of the best.

Thanks, John.
My ebony lambsfoot covers don't have the "wow factor" that the covers of my horn, desert ironwood, and stag (AC) lambsfoot knives have, but it does have a dependable dignity that the others lack. I still wouldn't call my Black Jack one of my best lambsfoots, but that's because of my own lack of sharpening skills - I've not yet been able to get the blade sharpened the way I'd like it.
Here's Black Jack on the kitchen sink in our vacation rental in August 2018:

lack of sharpening skills

I hesitate to admit it in this technically exalted company, but I love the Rada wheelie deelie for establishing an edge fast and easy.

Still under $10, I'm pretty sure.

I prefer Ebony to Horn, and the rat tail bolsters make it very special.

OTW always looks good Jer

Nice Rosewood.

Thanks Leon

Thank you Jack for the kind words
I hope you have a great day tomorrow at the market my friend

I am baking some sourdough to have ready for the arrival of my in-laws tomorrow from Florida.
We are very happy they have been able to cross the border with no issues and that we'll finally be able to spend a Christmas together.
Our daughters have not seen Granma and Grandpa for almost 3 years as they were planning to come when COVID struck.

My HHB still has energy after all the antics earlier today and decided to climb onto a banneton to pose for the pic

Thanks a lot Dan I'm glad your in-laws made it, 3 years is a long time, especially when you're a youngster. Your sourdough is a great way to welcome them I hope you have a wonderful Christmas together my friend, your Hartshead Barlow seems to have as much energy as you do!

Have you heard? Christmas is coming! Lam Jack and Union Jack and I hope you have a happy one!

That's great Bill, sounds like the makings of a fabulous Christmas Smashing pic there

You're sleeping better than I am at the moment Jer

Great early day pics of your Black Jack Gary

That's interesting Gary, what do you think the issue is?

I hesitate to admit it in this technically exalted company, but I love the Rada wheelie deelie for establishing an edge fast and easy.

Still under $10, I'm pretty sure.

Hope everyone is having a great day. It's been a cold and wet day here, but still plenty of cheer on the market

Three layers of wool kept me warm, despite the cold and damp

Sausage sammich with my morning coffee

No cake, but there were plenty of mince pies, and homemade Rocky Road

 

[JohnDF]

First Batman, then Deadpool, and now Santa... they just keep getting more and more powerful.

Nice looking sammich.

Flitzed, Oiled, Stropped, and ready for more work...

Gonna use this for my slicer opening X-Mas packages.

I see the 2018s have been popular. Got one on me today, too.

Happy holidays, Guardians!

Lovin' that scarred ol' stag, Kevin, ruggedly beautiful! RALF is back in the pocket until Christmas morning, when my traditional "present opener" steps up to the plate.
