It's great to see your unique Hartshead Barlow again my friend

That sounds good and I nominate you as the official club photographer.

I hope that I can join without a conflict of interest

Ha! Jack I must be getting on in years because the calculator is my best friend!

LOL! When I was a kid you had to recite various tables by rote at the front of the class, and woe betide you if you made a mistake! That, and playing a lot of cards as a youngster, has kept my mental addition relatively well-preserved

Generally speaking, I wholeheartedly agree with both of you, and Jack, that is a very fine stag knife in your picture.

However, I am not really a fan of most of the Pere David stag and to be completely honest, I love the polished look of this one. Made it my own doing that. Decided to put it back in my pocket just now View attachment 1797820

That actually looks very nice Steve, better than the Trevor Ablett knife I have with polished stag Really nice work

Here’s my newest Lambsfoot, that got the rounded edges treatment. While I was at it the bolster got some filing also. View attachment 1797831

That's also very nice work Todd

Thanks Jack and Todd

I like the work you did on that one.View attachment 1797846
I’ve got the duty blues tonight, and again on Saturday

Looking good Jon, stay safe out there

I love a nice gnarly stag too but it's my first time with Pere David stag (didn't even knew the name before today) and i must admit it got a really strange and smooth texture (for stag). Polished Pere David stag reminds me a lot of my old Otter Ivory bone... if both of my cover were big fat chunk of unequal stag i would probably go with the polished stag but for now, i'll keep my weird texture stag and unequal scales... at least as long as i take the time to decide what material i will choose for the recover! Wood is a classig... but a nice jigged bone, gnarly stag or even micarta would look great on that pattern!

The Sheffield cutlers were really hit by the Indian Government's rather inexplicable export ban on Sambar stag some years back, and since they're too clueless to source Sambar elsewhere, they tried various substitutes ever since. Unfortunately, British stag does not have bark of the same character, and the 'bark', (if you can call it that), of Pere David Stag is often more grey than brown. Soon after the Sambar ban began to bit, I received this monstrosity from Wrights's. Thankfully, it was under the old management, and they replaced it

They look very much like sweet and sour jellies. Making me drool.

You do know that to assume makes an ass out of you and me.

You must have missed this recent post Leon I prefer the Mitch Hennessy version though

Good morning Guardians! Looks to be a rainy day here in the foothills , but that’s alright since I work inside ! Just makes it hard to take a morning or evening stroll ! I hope everyone has a great day ! View attachment 1798087

You too buddy, enjoy the day with that fine Lambsfoot

Good morning Guardians and all. Golf day today and we are getting a good one at that - sunny and warm but starting off in the 50's. Going up to the low 70's. Just beautiful out there. Our contractors all made it yesterday and I was surprised. Gonna cost me some shekels though.

That's sounding good Bill, have a great day

I love the polished stag, I guess when it comes to stag like Jack I like it either gnarly or polished … I don’t care much for it when there is just a little bit of bark !! So no in between for me! Either side of the spectrum! Fantastic looking lambfoot sir !

Just posted to show the similarities between white bone and polsihed stag. No problem! i removed the picture!
Have a nice day!

Thanks

It's raining here, but not snowing.

That's a great pic of Old Toffee Wings Jer

Good Morning Guardians
Hope everybody is having a fantastic day.

Looking good John

Thank you John! I have a new to me Sheffield lambfoot on the way! It needs a little tlc but I’m looking forward to working on her and get her back in a pocket ! I will post plenty of photos when she lands !

Fantastic

Good Morning Guardians

Nice to see that Rodgers again Harvey, I wish I could remember the name they gave to that range of knives

Hey Guardians, I hope everyone is having a good day. Lovely weather here, and I had a nice time at the market. I also bumped into an old friend, and we adjourned for a pint I started to post this several hours ago, but then Her Majesty came round Finally got there

Makings of a healthy breakfast!

 

[Jack Black]

Really enjoying the @glennbad lambsfoot modification...Fits really nice in hand.

Sunbathing photo...

Looks great Ken

Hey Guardians, hope you’re all having a nice Thursday. It’s sunny here, and warm enough. I had a couple pulled pork sliders for lunch, got to get some stuff done around the house while my youngest naps, then we’ll pick her sister up from school and head to a park.

In Guardians of the Condiments news, it seems I’ve used up the last of my favorite BBQ sauce. I thought I had another bottle stashed away, but I guess that was this one. Can’t get it locally, and the shipping makes it pretty pricey to order, but it is good.

Those sandwiches look very tasty Barrett I feel you on the sauce shipping buddy, my last hot sauce shopping trip cost me nearly £50 for about 5 small bottles! That looks tasty though

That has built up some great character

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday

Looking good John

Thank you, Jack.

I couldn't scroll past that one fast enough.

I like everything about that picture.

Me neither mate! What a monster!

I have a friend, who, about 18 months ago, had the misfortune to move to small-town Poland. He was over for a few days around Christmas, and we went for a few pints together. He slipped me this diminutive bottle of vodka, as if it was the Holy Grail. I don't often drink neat vodka these days, but thought I'd have a shot tonight! I won't be having another!

Another great t shirt meme.

Thank you Jack.

You’re off to a good start.

You have done a great job with that stag.

Thank you very much.

Good job. The star reflecting off the Lambfoot blade is a nice touch,

It's a small detail, thanks Harvey.

Thank you Jack.

Thank you very much Harvey

 

[bigfish64]

Done a good job on that, i tend to let the sharpish edges just round off a bit with usage, but i never get that look that you have.

Thanks Leon.

Good Morning Guardians

Cool shot John.

 

[JohnDF]

Cool shot John.

Thank you, Todd.

Looking good, my friend.

You have a good memory Gary! I only ever had it coloured, but my father reckoned it was traditionally white. We used to have a pink blancmange bunny on a 'bed' of green jelly (jello) It's one of the austerity foods, from WW2, that has disappeared, and is probably unmourned by most

The only time I'd heard of it was in a Monty Python sketch. Something about a blancmange from outer space turning everyone into Scotsmen, so it can win Wimbledon.

Ohhh my...that's an ugly one for sure! Maybe i'll just put mine on sale and get an good old ebony or i'll try another buffalo horn. Yours is probably the worst i've seen so far!

Thank you, Todd.

Looking good, my friend.

Thanks buddy.

Good evening Guardians! I hope all is well and everyone had a good day today! I was lucky enough to slip away for a half an hour walk around the property this evening, beautiful evening for it !
I have been carrying only my lambfoot knife for five days now and I have to say it has cut what ever I needed it to cut ! From leather to the armband bracelets after our couple days at the water park !! The more I carry her and use her the more I really enjoy this pattern !
I took this photo on my walk this evening , the lambfoot sits atop an old hinge from the old (pert near ancient) chicken house that is on the back of the property. I’m not sure the last time it housed any hens but it has been at least 15 years! I may buy some chicks this spring and put the old house back to work
