All I see are the adventures to come... Some things are worth waiting for.

That is perfect!

How true, John. Nice.

Thank you, Harvey.

I'm not even sure what it is, but you make it look good.

Cool photo, Jon.

Thank you John. Crisp, round tortilla, cheese, and refried beans, into the oven.

I have a couple of friends with a brewery, and during the various lockdowns here, I knew they would be struggling a bit, so I bought about £800's worth of beer off them, in 3 or 4 instalments. That meant I got beer of course, but their beers are pretty pricey. After the first couple of orders, my mate's missus rang me up to see if I wanted anymore. I'd had some pretty odd beers in the previous order, along with a few ciders, which I ended up giving away, but she told me they had just brewed an IPA. I told her I'd take £200's worth, but when it turned up, it was a 'Belgian-style IPA', which I wasn't very keen on, and it was expensive too. I ended up giving almost all of it away, and just keeping a few bottles. I opened one a year later, and it was actually more to my taste, so I drank most of what I had kept. I found what I hope is the last bottle tonight, and it's not so good now. So cheers Guardians, good riddance to pretentious beer styles (I just wanted to be Franck with you)!

A good tale and a great movie, Jack.

My Jack Black SFO from Pàdruig arrived yesterday. What a beautiful knife. I am thrilled to add it to my collection. Thank you so much for your generosity, Dylan. I really appreciate it!

Just got my new A.Wright lambfoot in stag today! Kinda very weird stag shape for sure.... but fit the hand nicely. Action is better than the buffalo horn i had before, at least, this one is not a nail breaker! Edge geometry is also better than my old one... I'll probably try to sand off a little of that fat scale side. Still very happy to have a lambfoot back in the collection!

I would have a think about that before i try it, and if you do go down that path, be careful.

I’ll be anxious to see how that turns out. I have a chubby one too. I really like it and both sides are equal but still thicker than I’d like.

Why? i tought the worst that could happen is having a "white smooth side"? I never sanded stag before... but when 2 peoples told you the same thing, you start to feel nervous! hahaha maybe i'll keep it like that, the handle shape still fill the hand nicely.

Very pretty Lambsfoot.
And job well done to Pàdruig

Beer is glorious. Glad it came up to your taste with age. Here is a H&G. Brewery started in Austin then move to San Marcos, TX. They make fine suds. I love the “Zoe”. If you visit or can find it, this is a strong recommendation of mine.

Exactly, once you remove material it can't be put back. This can be a common problem with stag, there are many photos on the forum from all makers with members showing exactly this issue with their stag covers. I have a GEC, the supposed holy grail with this problem, if i saw it in person i would never had purchased it, but now i'm stuck with it. Stag is a natural resource and you just take what you get. If you sand this down, you will have a thinner cover yes, but you will have to take a lot off, and then you will have stag on one side, and stag that looks like white smooth bone on the other side. If you want more balanced covers and are okay with that outcome then go for it. But one problem you will run into is, the brass pins will have to also be sanded down to the level of the bone, and this is not only difficult, but then you will have to splay and flatten the top of the pins, other wise you risk the covers just coming off, especially if you remove a lot of the stag. I am not being critical of what you are trying to achieve, just pointing out the pitfalls and problems which may arise, trust me, i speak from experience.

LOL! My grandfather's favourite saying was, "It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in!

Well Jack, he did have a point! Many of those older gentleman had a grasp on this world like most of us will never have ! I miss many of them every day.

I know that eerie feeling Glad you found somewhere to get a coffee with your luscious Lambsfoot

Thanks for the kind words , and I suppose it’s all the energy left behind or maybe the lack of when places like that are empty it is almost like a void has been created

Welcome aboard! And great start to your lambfoot collection!

Thank you for your kind words sir!

XL, right? I’m sipping it now. Enjoy.

Yessir !! Don’t get to enjoy this brand very often , only when I’m around a larger city ! So it was good to the last drop !


Got home from our quick trip a couple hours ago and took an evening stroll with the Beagle around the property to unwind . Found this little token of good luck ! The tree the Lambfoot is on is the tallest on my property , it’s a bald cypress that really shouldn’t be growing in Southern Ohio. Doing the geometry on her I estimate her to be right around 120 feet or 36 meters tall [if I did the math right ]!
