Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Well, I can safely say that I'm hooked on Sheffield knives. I have acquired a bunch of knives from various Sheffield manufacturers since my last post. Help.

Also, has anyone else experienced a backspring break on any A. Wright Lambfoots?
 
Looks like there's a possibility that we might actually have a dry day tomorrow! :eek: With all the rain we've had, it's going to be muddy, but I'm hoping to get out for a short hike. Also, I am on the look out for the makings of another walking cane, and I want to get some slingshot practice in :) I don't know what you have planned Guardians, but I hope you all have a great weekend :thumbsup:

I've had a lot of their knives, with no backspring problems, but they were all purchased under the previous ownership. I hope you haven't had an issue :eek: :thumbsup:
 
Quite a contrast to yesterday here, the low winter sun is so bright, I can't read in my living room, without being blinded by it! :eek: :rolleyes:

Thanks buddy :) :thumbsup:

Looks great John :cool: :) :thumbsup:

I thought I got a bargain on the market yesterday, with this NIB Dalvey Hip Flask, for £3 :) Part of the reason for the low price on the £55 flask was probably the fact it had a couple of initials engraved on the central shield, but it only took me 10 minutes to sand them off with emery paper, and then re-polish with Flitz :) Since the centre of the flask had a circle of protective tape over it, I didn't even have to mask it, just cut round the centre of the tape with my Lambsfoot. The manufacturer originally made bagpipes, so I thought I'd photograph it with my Bagpipe Ebony Big 'Un :thumbsup:

The flask was originally designed to fit in a sporran! :D
I would love to find a flask like that - what a deal! Looks real nice next to Bagpipe Ebony my friend.
 
Great shot Harvey. Colours and details are fantastic.


Nice pics showing the grain GT. :thumbsup:


As is often the case, David, your post sent me off to Google to find more info. :thumbsup::thumbsup: 🤓 This time, I was wondering who would name a nice relaxing beer after a unit of work in physics. The Joule's brewing website was quite fascinating with regards to their history! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

That rock formation is incredible, and I enjoyed all of your photos of that hike! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thanks for the kind words. :) Joules beers are not to shabby. Here's a pint of their No6 before Christmas.

Now that's a great catch; what a fine flask! But that's a nice tartan. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Like Jack, I'm looking at a hike tomorrow because it's actually stopped raining....:oops:
It was even pleasant enough to sit out before and drink some ale.

Can't decide which one I want the most!
 
Just made some Tomato, pepper, and lentil soup :) :thumbsup:
MMM Good.
Just piling on Harvey, great looking Lambsfoot and I wish I had that cookie after my sammich! 🤣
Thank you kindly.
don't know what you have planned Guardians, but I hope you all have a great weekend :thumbsup:
Hope the weather this weekend treats you fairly.

Thank you David.

This scene is so heart warming, David. Wishing you both fair weather.

Thank you. I do know that feeling. Many times.

I haven't, and i can't remember anyone here ever having an issue. Jack has also stated he has never had this problem, and he has forgotten more than we will ever know about these Lambsfoot knives. Was there something that you can think of that may have caused the break???

That Imperial Stout looks impressive :cool: I hope you have a great hike David, I'm sure you'll be going somewhere more adventurous than me :) :thumbsup:

I thought you talking about me then! :eek: :D Thank you :) :thumbsup:
MMM Good.
I think I have enough left to take a flask out walking with me :)
Thank you kindly.

Hope the weather this weekend treats you fairly.
Thanks a lot Harvey, looks like it's going to be fine at least :) :thumbsup:

Wish i could take the credit for this one my friend.😍 But i used to be able to bake fantastic pies, but don't have the room in my kitchen now. 😞. Have a good weekend.:):thumbsup:.
That's a shame Leon, at least you have some good bakeries not far away my friend :) :thumbsup:
Hoping some beer from the South will drive the cold from the North away. :)

Thanks pal, cool pic :) We got some great old stag for those knives :) :thumbsup:
Pre social media, the phone and word of mouth seemed to work pretty well if my memory serves me correct. :eek::eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:😒😒😒
Definitely! :thumbsup:

I forget a lot of things these days! 🤣 Thanks mate :)

I definitely haven't seen a broken spring, and hope that we're not going to start seeing them. It's always a worry with Sheffield firms when they start cutting corners, (which they do). They are pretty ignorant about HT, for the most part anyway, and despite the fact there are some very advanced HT firms in Sheffield, I have known cutlers in the past resort to all sorts of dodgy practices to reduce production costs :(
Thank you Todd and Jack! I hope y’all get better weather where you are at
Thanks Jon :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I got up an hour or so earlier than I needed to, so now I have time to check in, and wish everyone a great Saturday, and a happy weekend :) Have a good one Guardians :thumbsup:
