Gary I have quite a lot of experience USING a Lambsfoot! I use one everyday, as I keep one on my end table to open all of my mail and packages etc. Because a knife doesn’t have Patina obviously doesn’t mean it’s not being used!I'm glad to hear that you'll get to experience the pleasure of USING a lambsfoot, as well as simply enjoying the visual appeal, Ron!Looking forward to seeing the one you've selected as it begins to show even more character.

Agreed Jack! The polish holds up quite well!Yes indeed, I think Wright's polish is pretty resilient too. It was only when I began to use my original ebony Lambsfoot for food (particularly fruit and veg) that it began to patina
Agreed Jack! The polish holds up quite well!
I think I'm going to carry mine tomorrow, it's maiden pocket voyage! 
looking good my friend, looking good.

Those are really nice Charlie!Thanks for finding these beautiful knives for me, Jack Black!!
Nice Senator!Yes, I first started suspecting some horn changes back around Christmas. Despite good intentions, I've never posted any photos of what I saw with my horn Guardians Lambsfoot (and very few photos of damage I've done to the knife through my own clumsiness). But it's still a wonderful knife, as can be seen in this latest photo of my little flock of lambs:

Thanks for more info about horn issues, Jack.
Thanks also for your input, Will, including care suggestions!
Good thinking, Rachel!

Thanks for more info, Ron. Knowledge is Power!
Dylan, I had some misgivings about my childbirth comparison, but then I thought that it might lead to a good geometry lesson if anyone objected to my analogy. There are congruent figures which are EXACTLY alike, and there are similar figures that may differ IN SCALE. Your lambsfoot travails were a scaled-down version of actual childbirth!
Thanks for your compliment, and for sharing another stunning photo of your new ebony!
Jack, FWIW, the little bubblewrap "sheath" you made for my ebony Guardians Lambsfoot has been remarkably functional in my pocket for several days now, although it's not entirely stylish!
Exemplary photos, Jack & Ron & Dylan!!
Hey, that's basically the set-up I use, except the Canon is my wife's Powershot SX110IS. I have no clue how our two Canons are related, but mine is quite old, I think. I have mine on Auto, too, but set a 2-second shutter delay to compensate for my jiggling when I click the shutter, and I usually set it on Macro mode. Jack, I beg you to pass on any photo tips you might someday learn!
That's another gem, Jack!
My ebony Guardians lambsfoot had an OK edge when it arrived. Its edge was much better than my horn Guardians Lambsfoot edge, but not as good as my somewhat older rosewood lambsfoot or stag senator. Here's a "gallery" of individual shots of my 4 Wright Lambsfoot knives that I took yesterday:

Wow outstanding Etricks Jack - I sure it feel like Christmas for Charlie - beautiful horn.The Lambsfoot knife at the bottom left has a story behind it

Unfortunately, they only had small amounts of this horn, and couldn't predict what the horn would look like from one knife to the next. As with all the other samples and mistakes produced, I bought them all, as I wanted to preserve the special nature of this project.
I know Charlie is fond of a redheaded Lambsfoot, so I sent him Rita
And I hung onto Marilyn

Nice to see Rita again I wish I'd photographed her with Marilyn before I gifted her to you (the other pics were taken on someone's phone at the factory). We need to bring those two back together at some point my friend As it should be Even got a pie! 
Finally did it today. Not for nothing, but once I got to grinding, this thing was THICK, and somewhat inconsistently so along the edge. I got a finish on it that I really like. Also cut a rather ample sharpening choil, and gave it a vicious tip. Put a shaving edge on it, and probably going to carry it every day for a while. I'm going to take some better pictures later in the evening when the light isn't so stark.
