Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good spray with antibax and leave outside for a couple of days. Turn it inside out every so often to let the air and sunlight get to all of it.
Thanks for the tip :thumbsup: I sprayed the jacket a few times with my vodka mix last night, and thought it smelled a bit better. I left it drying in the bathroom overnight, with the window wide open, but when I went in this morning the jacket smelled just as bad as before I sprayed it! :rolleyes:
Good morning Guardians. Going out early this morning to golf - a bit on the cool side for NC this morning though. 48 degrees F. Should warm into the low 60's though. Going to wear shorts. We shall see how that works out for me.
Gone back to my trusty HHB today. This may be a re-cycled photo...not sure.

Good luck with the shorts Bill, it'd take wild horses to drag me into a pair! :D ;) I don't recall seeing that photo before, but then I don't recall a lot of things lately! :D Enjoy your golf Bill :) :thumbsup:
Good Morning Guardians
I'll be carrying my Charlie Lamb and wishing it was Friday already...
Lovely shot of your Charlie Lamb John :) :thumbsup:
The stamp (and everything else) is one hundred percent a Jack Black creation.

The HHB bolster stamp was used in the past on their fixed blade knives, if I remember the story correctly.
Jack had to strongly convince them to use it as the bolster stamp on the Barlow... All Jack's brilliant idea.
I'm sure it was very frustrating for him to see them use it again later after their falling out.
Thanks a lot guys :) It was particularly frustrating, considering that was one of the bolsters I paid to have stamped, as well as contrary to our agreement :rolleyes: :thumbsup:
I figured as much, but, nice to know for sure. Outstanding job Mr. Jack ! :thumbsup:😊

When a thread nears three thousand pages, it makes finding answers more difficult. Maybe I need to work on my search skills.

Pleased that you liked my horns and pictures. I enjoy viewing many of the porch photos and knives myself ! ☺️
Thanks a lot my friend, it's a shame you weren't here during that relatively brief, but productive, period. I think you'll find reading the thread both enjoyable and informative, but since it is a somewhat Herculean task, there is an index to the earlier part of the thread. If you read through the first post, you will find a link to the index, as well as some other useful information :thumbsup:
Good morning Guardians! I’d like to send a shout out to cigarrodog cigarrodog for his generosity. When I mentioned that I was having trouble with my arthritic hands Jack suggested looking into a Sheldon Knife. Harvey gifted one to me from his collection. Harvey’s kindness is what makes the porch and the Guardians a special place. Hats off to Harvey! 🎩🎩🎩‼️

Here’s to your Charlie Lambfoot and to Friday’s swift arrival, John.

True, it can be intimidating when you enter this thread. That’s what’s super helpful about starting with page one. Included is a great orientation and a handy dandy index.


Nothing wrong with your research skills or your fine, various contributions.

Happy to help, Dan. Hope it does the trick, Thank you for the kind words. You too make for a great Porch experience.
I'd expect nothing less from a fine gentleman like Harvey. 🤠:thumbsup:
Looks like a super cool knife, you'll have to give us your thoughts on it after using it for a while.
Also, thanks to you for the kind words, John.

Good Morning Guardians.

Sorry Harvey! :eek: I got back from the market, put my bag down unpacked, came on here...2 hours later I was still multi-quoting! :D I just wolfed down some tasteless 'TV' macaroni cheese, came back, and now Her Majesty is on her way round! :eek: Busy week! :rolleyes: ;) :thumbsup:
Love those lambs!

Reminds me of an interesting gift my father in law brought home from a craft fair years ago.... I had actually forgotten about it.

Hands off the Barlow!!
It might be a while before I forget about it!! :eek::eek: 🤣 :thumbsup:
 
Ron Half/Stop had a particularly bad experience with horn :eek: I think he eventually had the knife, a Big 'Un, re-covered :thumbsup:

That picture is nearly identical to the problem mine had.
Thanks for the info about the bolster stamp and all the other information, including a definitive answer on my Horseman with sheepsfoot blade. :thumbsup:☺️
The sheep strayed over the hill and has gone out of sight. 😉☺️

Sounds busy. Thank you Jack. Hope you get some better things to eat.
Thanks Harvey, I certainly haven't eaten very healthily today! :eek: I have a stomach problem, and do my best to have my 'evening' meal before 4.30pm, it really makes a big difference. Today, it was nearer 5.30pm, and I'm not sure I'd call it a 'meal' :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

That sounds pretty bad my friend, with the horn 'peeling' on both sides :eek: A pleasure Mr P, thank you :D :) :thumbsup:
I think we found the Real Live Lucy... The Vampire Lamb. 😱
:eek: 🤣

I wondered what they did with all the props from Black Sheep ! 🤣 :thumbsup:
