Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Jack Black said:
The last time I was at Almscliffe, having walked up the back way from Pannal, I was amazed to find it completely deserted, and on a Saturday afternoon too! I guess a lot of climbers prefer plastic 'crags' these days o_O Thanks for the pic my friend :) The number 36 bus from Harrogate.

It's the same frame, but mine has a plain spring, so like the one at the bottom of the pic below, which is in the general 'Pen and pocket knives' section. I should add that the photos on that site show knives very unlike the knives Wright's are actually making today. It was a lucky find at the factory, they must have had a large enough piece of Sambar to do one of those, rather than the small pattern. Wright's do a few more knives, which aren't on that site :thumbsup:

Ahh I've only ever been Almscliff on a weekday so I've had it all to myself everytime I've been. And the 'ole 36, I guess that would be the Leeds bus. I used to catch that going in the other direction to Ripon to visit the One-Eyed Rat :):thumbsup: Cheers for the travel info :thumbsup:
I've occasionally seen Wrights knives that aren't on their website so it would be interesting to see a full catalogue of what they actually do make. The candle-ends are a good looking knife; like Half/Stops Oakedge and Laurellbb's Michael May it's a handsome variation of the theme :thumbsup:

The 36 (Leeds to Ripon via Harrogate and Ripley) must be the poshest bus in Yorkshire - Extra wide leather seats, Wi-Fi, USB chargers at every seat, fold-down work tables, and a library! The views heading towards Harrogate between Harewood and Pannal are spectacular, great views of the deer and red kites too, and there is often a heron on the weir at Harewood Bridge :) After being captured at the Battle of Marston Moor, Charles I was taken back to London along the Burn Bridge road, which comes off Harrogate Road between the turn-off for Otley and Pannal. Riding on horseback, the branch of a tree caught his hat, and caused it to fall off. Somebody cut down the tree for being so "impudent" to the King! o_O :rolleyes: :D The One-Eyed Rat is a great pub I think, and that's a nice beery shot of your Lambsfoot my friend :) :thumbsup:

I forgot to replace the knife in my pocket this morning, so I actually ended up carrying my ebony Guardians Lambsfoot (used it to slice up a cherry cake on the tool-stall in Leeds market ;) ) :thumbsup:

:eek: Well done anyway Ron, you deserve a mention in dispatches my friend :) Great to see that one :thumbsup: Be nice to see more of our absentee brothers and sisters ;) :thumbsup:
 
Today's carry. Here are more scans of the very nice, smaller pattern Lambfoot and Peach Pruner knives from Jack's Uber Package of last week!! I honed the Lambfoot, and it's going to help me out on my path of errands today! Off we go!!

I really like that pin, Charlie !

I’m carrying my lambsfoot on holiday. This one is like those private detective pictures—through the blinds:

How are you finding the smaller pattern Charlie, the blade is only a smidgen shorter, but I find it feels like a much smaller knife? :thumbsup:

As many know, I have a rotation schedule to determine what knife in each of a number of categories I'll carry each week; it's laid out in a spreadsheet on my computer. But I also have 4 knives that I carry EVERY week, one of which has been my 2017 horn Guardians Lambsfoot.

I decided last week that a change is in order. I'll no longer carry the horn lambsfoot "forever". Instead, I'll add a category to my rotation schedule, Lambsfoot of the Week, and will carry one of these each week:

This week it's the horn Lambsfoot from 2017. The rotation will be alphabetical, by the names I've given each of these knives, but that's another post! :rolleyes:

Well, the day is done, and the smaller-pattern stag hasn't worked very hard, but I know what you mean about it feeling smaller, Jack. That said, it opened my mail, and cut out my crossword puzzles just fine!! I'll give it another few days. It is certainly pleasant to carry as the Stag is not too bulky.
And it is very nice to look at!! And, it's a natural worry stone!!:)

Nice line-up there GT :thumbsup: I always find it fascinating to read of your schedule, and I'm sure I'm not alone in looking forward to reading the names you have for your knives :) But how will you manage with only one Lambsfoot a week?! :eek: ;) :D :thumbsup:

I have been enjoying a peach pruner recently, these deserve their own thread!

I think the small pattern still makes for a capable knife Charlie, very pocketable and an attractive pattern, but it must feel very different to the Big 'un you've been carrying. For me, they're almost like two completely different patterns - well they are - which isn't a bad thing :) :thumbsup:

Hope everyone has had a good week :) I'm still sorting out furniture. I changed my desk after 15 years, so my computer screen is in a different position, and it still feels a little strange. Liking it though :) Sticking with my ebony 2018 for Black Friday ;) :thumbsup:

Nice photo of the line up, but it sure makes the Landshark a bit of a poke in the eye!

View attachment 925316[/QUOTE] I know what you're saying regarding moving furniture, my Missus just moved the bed to the opposite side of the room! My head is now facing east not west, I'm thinking this might be some sort of weird Zen thing she saw on TV. ;)
I put your todays carry pic, on my desktop. :thumbsup:

LOL! :D Thank you my friend, I'm flattered :) :thumbsup:

It's my Goddaughter Avani's birthday today, and I'm meeting up with her and her dad tomorrow to give her her present, and to get some lunch. We're hoping we can have a few adventures too, but have to see what the weather is like ;) I'm planning to have a Double Lambsfoot day! :) Have a great weekend Guardians :thumbsup:
