I agree with you guys. I think I’ve had seven different Lambsfoot knives, (which isn’t many by comparison to some folks here) and they have all had F&F issues but not one has had blade play and they’ve all been built like a tank.
Sorry you'll miss your weekly cake and crack (did I use the term correctly?) but I'm sure it's for the best. Stay healthy!I've just spoken to my mate with the tool-stall, and he's full of cold, and sounds quite rough. He says that he might stand anywayI think he'd be better staying at home, keeping it to himself, and getting better. Either way, I'll be staying away myself, though I shall miss the cake and conversation
I hope and pray that you all don’t have a repeat of last year’s debacle! Stay safe and healthy and don’t forget the beef in that chiliSorry you'll miss your weekly cake and crack (did I use the term correctly?) but I'm sure it's for the best. Stay healthy!
It's raining now, and will drop below freezing overnight, so Austin, Texas is closed for the rest of the week. No exaggeration: not only are schools closed, but the city announced that Capitol Metro buses will not be running except to assist in emergency services. I think we're traumatized by last year's winter storm. Probably for the best, considering what happens around here when the roads ice over.
I'll be hunkering down at home with a Lambsfoot, maybe make some beans & chili.

The GEC-made models are fine knives, if you can get hold of one. The Sheffield-made ones are still much easier to find, but it's not as easy to get hold of a quality example, as it was in the past, which is a shame, particularly for those who have only recently discovered the pattern
That's a shame Todd, though I'm not surprised. Sadly, the Sheffield cutlery industry is all, but finished, and standards are pitiful. I've seen knives with appalling fit and finish, but have never come across a single one with blade playI agree with you guys.

Thank you Rachel, you used it perfectly
Oh no! Hope it's not a re-run of last year Rachel. Am I correct in recalling you had planted some new rosemary? If so, I hope it is OKIt's raining now, and will drop below freezing overnight, so Austin, Texas is closed for the rest of the week.

Those are great pics, but it was very sad what happened to your plants I saw your post in the early hours, and was prompted to get up, and take my basil off the windowsill! 
Chilli and a Lambsfoot sounds like a great plan 
I’ve been reading up on some of the history of knife manufacturing there in Sheffield. I definitely see it from your point of view. What is too bad is about 5-6 years ago you seemed excited that the quality was improving. I don’t want to really touch anymore on “quality” because I’ll be happy with what I have, and I am legitimately happy. I would recommend people get at least one. There are other regions of the world that have blades historical to them and you can’t get them anymore. An example of that would be the Middle East, or at least the countries I went to. It is illegal to carry a knife at all and therefore you cannot get anything.
Hi! I am also in Austin and I agree with your assessment 100%. Last year really scared a lot of people. Our infrastructure and emergency services are just not budgeted or equipped for winter weather. I am also home for the next few days. We went to HEB last night and it was a mad house! Glad we were picking up a curbside order. Hope we can keep power and water this year!Sorry you'll miss your weekly cake and crack (did I use the term correctly?) but I'm sure it's for the best. Stay healthy!

Great picture, Jack... I like the sheep in the background.
Thanks. Yours looks like it’s levitating over those shells, really cool. I noticed on your covers a triangular shape. Is that part of the design or a kind of character of the wood?Jon, I think that is the coolest lighter I've ever seen . . . semper paratus!
I had it stippled, to increase the grip. It's the same on both sides, and does help some. I would have preferred checkering, but couldn't find anyone to do it.
Judging from the nice patina I would say it was a worthwhile modI had it stippled, to increase the grip. It's the same on both sides, and does help some. I would have preferred checkering, but couldn't find anyone to do it.
I hope you 2 are getting along okGood Morning Guardians.
I'm pressing on with the Charlie Lamb.
We're still on speaking terms.
Very cool photo of your HHB Jack.I've just spoken to my mate with the tool-stall, and he's full of cold, and sounds quite rough. He says that he might stand anyway
Great photosSorry you'll miss your weekly cake and crack (did I use the term correctly?) but I'm sure it's for the best. Stay healthy!

. I used to live up north in Pennsylvania and really hated shoveling snow so now I live in NC. Not much in the way of snow but an occasional ice storm in the winter. LOLGreat looking photo Jack. The muted greens, grays and browns provide a nice contrast and well as complimentary colors to your fabulous HHB.The GEC-made models are fine knives, if you can get hold of one. The Sheffield-made ones are still much easier to find, but it's not as easy to get hold of a quality example, as it was in the past, which is a shame, particularly for those who have only recently discovered the pattern

Good morning Guardians, as Rachel says, I will certainly miss the cake and the crack down at the market today, and the weather doesn't look too bad either. I'm going to have a slow start, then walk down to the cafe, half a mile, or so, down the road, and have a coffee, then go into town for some shopping. Have a good day Guardians
I like the stippling. The triangular shape of it is nice too. I used to have some air guns with stippled stocks and it provided great grip.I had it stippled, to increase the grip. It's the same on both sides, and does help some. I would have preferred checkering, but couldn't find anyone to do it.
