Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Wow, Jeremy that’s really nice, good pickup for sure.
Be careful, don’t get me started with the egg jokes because I have dozens!

Y'all are cracking me up today.

Thanks Todd. It was poached from another collection.

We've often spoken of the lambsfoot's ergonomics. It's comfortable in hand for push cuts and pull cuts. I also find that I use it in a pencil grip with my thumb and middle finger gripping mid-blade and my index finger on the spine for fine control when hulling strawberries and piercing clamshell packaging.

That's three grips/cutting techniques, but I bet I'm only scratching the surface of how people hold their lambsfoot knives when putting them to the myriad tasks at which they excel. So, I'll put the question to the group: how many different ways do we collectively find ourselves holding our lambsfoot knives in use?

The Lambsfoot is such a versatile knife While certainly not illegal, knife carry is very much frowned upon by the authorities here, as well as a lot of the misguided general public, and producing even the most diminutive of folders is likely to lead to the appearance of a SWAT team. As a consequence, if I'm opening a letter, or some packaging, in the centre of town, for example, I have developed discreet ways of using my Lambsfoot in public, so I'll perhaps choke up on the blade to shield it, or reverse the knife, open the blade half an inch (much easier with a cam tang), and use it like that, pinching the blade in a sort of 'pencil' grip. After having done this for some years, I can usually produce my Lambsfoot, use it effectively, and slip it back in my pocket, in a few seconds, and without Nosey Parkers being any the wiser

Good evening, Guardians. I hope everyone is having a pleasant week so far (I hope yours gets better, Jack Black ). I gathered up my wee ones for a pic while I enjoy a cigar between rain showers.

I haven’t forgotten about the giveaway, I’ll be getting that sorted this evening. My apologies for the delay.

Thanks Dylan, great to see you here my friend, and that's a wonderful selection of Lambs from your extenstive collection Love the glow of that golden horn Great pic

Good morning Guardians, my day, yesterday, turned into a real stinker, and I still haven't got my boiler fixed I'm not expecting to have a good day today either, not least as I have a new phone arriving, which is never one of the joys of life I hope everyone has a much better day, and look forward to normal life returning, hopefully soon, here at Grumble Towers I thought I needed a Big 'Un today!

Wide ranging variety of covers on your lambs, Dylan. They look great, particularly the two tone on the horn.

Sorry the struggles continue with your boiler, Jack. Hope that gets resolved soon.

Getting the our cooktop ready for breakfast. With the new home we opted for induction and it has been great. My trusty HHB is lending me a helping hand today.

Impressive Flock of Lambs, Dylan.

Here's hoping your boiler gets sorted out and your new phone works perfectly... You're due for some good luck.

Thanks Jeremy, someone is supposed to be coming out this afternoon La lucha continua!

Glad to hear it's been plain-sailing Bill Your Hartshead Barlow is looking good my friend

I'm not sure what's going on on my street, there must be 200 crows cawing in the trees, I've never seen that many crows - it's murder! I'm hoping it's going to be more Oliver Postgate than Alfred Hitchcock

Good Morning Guardians
I'm still making an effort to spread the love between my Lambsfoot knives.

Thanks John, I'm not sure what is going on recently, I went out to the postbox, and got drenched in a shower!

That is indeed lovely my friend

Thank you, Jack.

You're having a string of rotten luck.
But if that's the worst of it, count yourself lucky, my friend.

 

[Jack Black]

Thank you, Jack.

Definitely John! I've certainly had worse, a friend once told me that if I was a race-horse, they'd have shot me years ago!

 

[Jack Black]

I was wondering if my run of bad luck might be due to the Gods missing the regular cake sacrifices I make So I have 'sacrificed' a couple of sausage-rolls Thankfully not a burnt offering

 

[JohnDF]

Definitely worth a try.

 

[Jack Black]

Definitely worth a try.

Looks like you're set for the day there Jon

 

[JohnDF]

I like the picture.
People always laugh at me when I show up to staff meetings with my cup of 7-11 coffee.
They all think you have to pay $4.00 at Starbucks to get a good cup of coffee... Jokes on them.

Thanks Bill

I had the engineer round to fix my boiler. He fitted a new expansion chamber, and was working on it about an hour. It's still making some noise, so I hope it settles down. Unfortunately, my new phone isn't arriving until this evening, and since I'm going to have to mess around with that, I may not get down to the market tomorrow morning

here at Grumble Towers I thought I needed a Big 'Un today!

Good choice, Jack.

I'm not sure what's going on on my street, there must be 200 crows cawing in the trees, I've never seen that mant crows - it's murder! I'm hoping it's going to be more Oliver Postgate than Alfred Hitchcock

It will get better. Hang in there, my friend.

Good Morning Guardians
