I decided if I was going to be Totin' the Charlie Lamb, it needed its own custom slip.
So I made this one to the exact dimensions for my Charlie Lamb... it fits pretty perfect in there.
Nice work John
Nice pic too

Yes sir, we've seemed to hit it off very well. As for work, it's not too demanding, but there are always other things I'd rather be doing.Hope you're getting on well together, and that you get to put your feet up soon
Those two look great together, John.I decided if I was going to be Totin' the Charlie Lamb, it needed its own custom slip.

Lessons learned.That was rotten luck Harvey
A great start with a fantastic knife, Jack.Got my Hartshead Barlow back in my pocket today
A sharp, good looking knife. Best wishes on your test ride. Your slip only adds to the knife’s beauty.Good Morning Guardians
Giving the Charlie Lamb a ride for a few days
I want to see if I can actually bond with it or not
A fine addition for the many reasons to own a Lambfoot.So guardians... I do a bunch of work with kernmantle ropes (the type used in climbing and mountaineering) and thus rope maintenance too. I'll spare you guys for a fully detailed explanation of the anatomy and build of a kernmantle rope but basically the interior - the kern, consist pf twisted parallel fibers that provides the majority of strength and a tightly woven exterior - the mantle, which provides abrasion resistance to the rope. You all probably knew that. Regardless... It can be a hella tricky rope to cut that if not done right will make the rope fray or cause the exterior mantle sheath to slide either up or hang loosely from the kern (hence we also heat up and "melt" the end of the rope to close the cut).
One of the primary reasons why I like traditional lamb and sheepfoot knives is that I found the thin and straight edge they have are (still!!) perfect for cutting even modern ropes. Yesterday I used my new lamboot for this task and I'm happy to announce that it went trough the rope like it was hot butter leaving a VERY nice clean, straight cut

I once heard a saying, "The things we give up, in order to work, are never replaced." 
Thank you Harvey

Pie for tea! 
The Lambsfoot slithered off the pie as I was taking the pic! Just as well I hadn't poured the gravy on!

In my pocket again today
Definitely. I figured I should put some time in in case there are any questions previously answered.
I heard some last night too, and couldn’t figure out why. Makes sense nowFebruary already!
My daughter orders chai tea sometimes and it gives me a chuckle since chai means tea.

Great-looking Lambsfoot and slip combo Jon
Well done
I don't recall hearing any before, but they went on until the early hours here. I couldn't figure it out either. There is a Sikh temple about 500 yards away from me, and around 2.00am, I found myself researching Sikh holy days!
LOL! Yes, true!

Thanks Harvey, I was so pleased when John sent it to me (I still have the stormtrooper sitting on my desk in front of me)

Thanks Todd.Looking good Jeremy.
And it is totally true, Jack. That's the reason I ended up retiring from the Navy a few years ago. I was never going to get the time back that I was away from my family for so long and wanted the chance to make the most of the time I have left with my kids before they graduate and move out.That's good to hear Jeremy
