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:
...
Thanks, Jack.:) I've been doing one Lambsfoot a week since my 2017 horn Guardians knife arrived (thanks, @mrknife); remember that, although I only post pics of 3 or 4 knives each day, ALL of the knives I post each week are carried EVERY day during that week. So, I've really been carrying a Lambsfoot every day, and the only thing that changes is that EACH of my lambsfoot knives will now get carried for one week out of every five. (Under my old schedule, the lambsfoot knives other than the horn one were carried quite infrequently since they were lumped in with all my other British, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and French knives.) In summary, I'll manage somehow! :rolleyes::D

Totin this small Sambar along to town for some appointments this morning. Hope all of you have a great start to your weekend! :)

First-class stag, Ron, and fantastic photo! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Nice photo of the line up, but it sure makes the Landshark a bit of a poke in the eye!
I refuse to discriminate against ANY of my lambsfoot lineup, B Bartleby . If you want to call me indiscriminate, so be it!! ;):thumbsup::D (Words are funny things. Refusing to discriminate and being indiscriminate ought to mean the same thing, but one has positive connotations and the other negative. :confused::rolleyes:)

...My horn lambsfoot which I've barely been able to put down is a small pruner frame. In comparison to the large lambsfoot I have it feels like a completely different knife; in a good way of course :thumbsup:
Todays mini adventure.

I like your pruner-handled, transparent-horned lambsfoot more each time I see it, David! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: Of course, I was struck right from the start that the mark side depicted the Eye of Sauron!! :eek::eek:o_O:D

...Here's Marston Moor today :thumbsup:

Surprisingly flat landscape, Jack!! :cool::cool::thumbsup: Inspiration for The Who's "I Can See for Miles"? ;):D

It wasn't THAT kind of hospital visit GT! o_O :D :thumbsup:

Fantastic pic my friend! :D :) :thumbsup:
I knew that shepherding the conception and delivery of the ebony Guardians Lambsfoots had been quite a strain, so I was concerned! ;):rolleyes: I thought chickadees were holding up my rosewood lambsfoot in the pic I posted, but maybe they're cuckoos?? :D

How about now?
I admire your creativity and imagination, Joshua! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::cool:

:D:D My camera and I often disagree about what a photo should focus on. :rolleyes:

Well played sir! Especially given my own indiscriminate joy in wordplay!

I have been enjoying my own Newsome "Silent Lambfoot," as I tackle my summer list of things to get done. Surprised at how well it has held up to some down right abuse at my hands. Just the ticket when things get really nasty. It also speaks well of the soundness of the Lambfoot pattern.

My camera often has a mind of its own too Jer :thumbsup:

Thanks for the explanation GT! :D :thumbsup:

Yes GT, the Vale of York further north from me, is an area which is surprisingly flat. Throughout British history Yorkshire has been the scene of numerous important and bloody battles, not least the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stamford_Bridge) and the Battle of Towton Moor in 1461 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Towton).

Thanks my friend :D An old pal of mine is currently directing One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest at one of the Sheffield theatres :thumbsup:

They are good sturdy knives I think :thumbsup: I'm afraid I haven't seen them on sale anywhere for a while, but I'm sure they are still proving deservedly popular with gardeners and working folks :thumbsup:

Have a great Sunday Guardians :) :thumbsup:
 
Well, it's Harrogate! It's not like the North at all is it?! :rolleyes: ;) :thumbsup:

Cool pic David, I have a few of those old whistles myself :thumbsup:

LOL! I don't know; north Knightsbridge perhaps...??
Aye, it's actually a 'new' old whistle. Got this brass one as well 3 or 4 years ago along with the original Thunderer and the 'Scout' model, purely for nostalgia really. Especially as they are actually 'Made in England' which is a pretty rare thing nowadays :(:rolleyes: I do know though of a uniformed bobby in Merseyside constabulary who carries a Metropolitan whistle on duty.

Well I think all the Guardians will be looking forward to seeing that one :thumbsup::thumbsup:

LOL! :D I always buy old whistles when I come across them, and have sent a few across the seas from time to time. I offered one to PMEW, but he already had a whistle. I don't think the repro ones are bad at all. Here's an old train guard's whistle, which happens to be sitting on my desk :thumbsup:

At the house with two littles, one sickie, while the others are at Church. But I took advantage of a fine day to get a good shot.

That's a great shot Joshua :) Hope the little 'un is feeling better soon :thumbsup:

Great whistle Jack, a real bit of history. Theres usually lots of old whistles in the antique shops in York.

Thanks David, I forget where I got that one from, but I rarely pay more than a few quid for them :)
