Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

It's a fine photo too Todd

Thanks Jack.

did not seem like a sheep and not quite a lamb either.

The easiest way to remember is, A Lambsfoot the blade spine tapers down towards the tip of the blade. A Sheepsfoot the blade spine remains constant along the length of the blade. A Ramsfoot the blade spine tapers upwards towards the tip of the blade. I have only mentioned other blades here to give definition to a Lambsfoot blade so as to prevent confusion with other similar work blades. That is how i define them, but i'm easily confused.

Speaking of horn, touch wood i have had no trouble with this Lambsfoot, but i'm convinced that carrying and using them helps a lot. The natural oils ones hands exude seem to keep them from drying and shrinking. Humid climates a different matter, i don't live in that sort of environment so i can't comment.

Great looking sammich.

Wow, that's a good looking Lambsfoot.

Jack here are a few pictures of the recent May knife I received. The spring is sunk when closed but the action is good and it is nicely finished in my limited experience with the Lambfoot pattern. Spring is flush when open. Overall I was quite pleased but please understand my other lambs are recent A. Wrights.

Nice Lambsfoot and slingshot pic I'd not seen those Ka-Bar slingshots before, looks pretty good Do you always use it with tubes, or have you tried it with flat-bands?

Jack it came with the tubes. I got that one mostly cause it was a Ka-Bar product to play with. The one in the pic today came in yesterday and just got the flat-band on it. First time I pulled it back I was in love. Haven't got to spend much time with it yet. Sure plan to in the near future.

I love those brass bolsters! A couple of my favorite Wright's have the sunken spring when closed, but flush when open. Nothing to worry about really.... They cut just fine and it makes it easier for me to use them since they aren't too pretty for some scratches.

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!

That's a mighty fine piece of lambware! Kudos Harvey. Well done. Beautiful photo of the 88!

Helpful post Leon, and a great-looking Lamb The 'Ramsfoot' was just a name GEC came up with, (a joke perhaps), rather than a new pattern, but I'll not go into that further A good point about carrying knives my friend, you don't see rust on a well-carried knife either!

Thanks Pete, that's very interesting to see I'm glad you got a good one

I'll have to look out for them, not that I really need a new slingshot! Isn't that a beauty? Shoots great I got mine from Crazy Canuck a couple of years ago, Mike sent me a really nice package I hope he's doing OK, I've not seen him in the Guardians thread for a while Have fun with your Scout buddy

Good morning Guardians, hope we've all made it through another week! It's nice to see the Guardians thread so active again, and have a few new members posting here - don't forget to read post #1 folks, with links to the Guardians World Map and the thread index, among other things. I've had a busy week myself, and plenty to do today, but I have to wait in for a couple of deliveries. I'm going to do a bit of stuff in the house, including finding out a giveaway prize, and then, if I get time, I'll head into town for a haircut before the weekend. I'm missing my favourite local cafe, but don't think I'm going to have time to call in. I hope that you have a good day, and that you have something nice planned for the weekend. Thought I'd treat myself to a Double Lambsfoot Day!

The 'Ramsfoot' was just a name GEC came up with, (a joke perhaps), rather than a new pattern, but I'll not go into that further

I just used that term as it is common now in some forums. The description i used was to try and explain the blade shape. I'm not at all comfortable discussing anything but Lambsfoot knives and blades here.

 

[cudgee]

you don't see rust on a well-carried knife either

That is one thing i have never seen on a well used EDC, i remember all my family members who only had one pocket knife, but it got used nearly everyday, never saw one spot of rust, plenty of patina but no rust. Patina, a blades best friend.

Definitely Leon Thankfully, I don't have much of a problem with rust, despite having way too many knives, but they're a lot easier to keep an eye on when they're in your pocket Mine get a wipe on my bandana if the blade is wet, or has been used for food, and a drop of oil in the joint once every blue moon I've never had a problem with rust either

Haven't seen that one in a while... Beautiful horn.
Hope you are having a fun day being out and about town.

Good Morning Guardians
I think I have the right day now.
Since I carried my Charlie Lamb yesterday, I think I'll carry my other Ebony Lambsfoot today.

Looks like yo lucked out a nd go a good one from May. My experience was not so good. After many many months he finally reimbursed me. So at least he stood behind his product.

You've become a very good marksman with a slingshot Jack - do you compete with it? Very nice photo of your fab HHB.

Good morning Guardians. Hope everyone will have a good day today and a nice weekend. We have had some very cool weather but sunny and now the days are really starting to warm up but as nice as it is I wish we would get some rain. Getting tired of watering all the flowers and our tomato garden. One thing I'm never tired of is my Harthead Barlow. It's in the pocket today.

 

[Jack Black]

Head's up Guardians! I am giving away a Hartshead Barlow, and Guardians have a double chance of winning! Good luck everyone

 

[Jack Black]

Looking good Jer!

Thanks pal, I can't remember the last time I carried it I got lucky with the horn, a shame I couldn't get the same for the 2018 horn models. Not bad at all thanks, one of my two parcels came, so I decided to head out. I'm glad I did because they 'rescheduled' the delivery Nice sunny weather here, and I had lunch at the cafe down the road, and then went into town for a haircut. I left my Barbour jacket hanging in the sun - hasn't done any good, it still stinks! Just applied stronger chemicals! We'll see who gives up first! Hope your day is going OK John

That was a stinker from beginning to end wasn't it Bill?!

Thanks Bill, I don't think it takes long to get proficient with these modern slingshots, but from what I've seen, I wouldn't win any prizes at those competitions, some guys are just incredible I'll stick to impressing my friends, and their kids I think!

Hope you get a little rain Bill, and have a great day with your Hartshead Barlow
