Thanks, Jack.Nice line-up there GTI 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?!

I refuse to discriminate against ANY of my lambsfoot lineup, B Bartleby . If you want to call me indiscriminate, so be it!!Nice photo of the line up, but it sure makes the Landshark a bit of a poke in the eye!
I like your pruner-handled, transparent-horned lambsfoot more each time I see it, David!...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
Todays mini adventure.

Surprisingly flat landscape, Jack!!
I knew that shepherding the conception and delivery of the ebony Guardians Lambsfoots had been quite a strain, so I was concerned!It wasn't THAT kind of hospital visit GT!![]()

I admire your creativity and imagination, Joshua!How about now?![]()
...And another bad photograph day. Carpet came out well.
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.Hot out today.

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!

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

Cool pic David, I have a few of those old whistles myself![]()
How about now?![]()
I like your pruner-handled, transparent-horned lambsfoot more each time I see it, David!Of course, I was struck right from the start that the mark side depicted the Eye of Sauron!!

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 nowadaysI do know though of a uniformed bobby in Merseyside constabulary who carries a Metropolitan whistle on duty.

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.
LOL!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

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