Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Going for a night out in Huddersfield later, with my best pal and his brother Tour of the Magic Rock Brewery, few pints, pie and peas, all the makings of a good night out Going to switch my Lambsfoot knives, and go stag

Pardon me. Long time lurker with a question about the previous post.
I see that 10 pounds includes a "flight of three thirds" at the Sportsman.
What is a "flight of three thirds"?
Hope a good time was had by all.
Ta,
OG

Hi OG

It's not a common phrase is it? I think they have borrowed it partly from the wine-tasting world. I take it to mean three 1/3 pint glasses of different beers, served at the same time, with the purpose of comparing them. Thanks, on my way now

I didn't have my camera with me, but it was a pretty good night over in Huddersfield (albeit I could have eaten an extra pie ). Turns out the Head Brewer at Magic Rock is a Sheffield lad, who went to the same school as my kids

Nice to see "kids" doing something creative and succeeding!!
A lot of distractions exist for the generations after this old Codger!!

Of all the rosewood Wrights that have been posted, yours is by far the best. It has good grain and reddish color, which I like. If I could find one with similar wood I would buy it. Since I have ebony and horn lambsfoot knives, I need to round it out with a rosewood version.

Belated thanks for the kind words about my rosewood, @lambertiana .

...
Great post GT, you've put a lot of thought into naming your knives
...

Thanks, Jack. The first one I named was quite easy to do, but the rest definitely required more cogitation!

...
That's a great collection I don't habitually name my knives but in my mind I occasionally think of my Wrights large lambfoot, which has a 'trigger pull' of about 2 tons, as "Nailbreaker". Or if my fingers are cold something along the lines of "the @*$#?@!! thumb killer!"

Thanks, David. I'm not sure those "heat of the moment" names for your knife should be considered "legal names"!

5K Qs That's a great lineup Gary!
...
Since we seem to be all about names this morning today I'm totin one of my Oakedge Rosewood Barlambs! I hope you all have a great day!

Thanks, Ron. I certainly would never bar lambs like your Barlambs!!

Splendid background for your ebony Lambsfoot, Mark!

Back with my favourite worry stone ,thanks to Jack Black View attachment 928925

Li'l Staggy went to the US Post office with me yesterday, and opened several boxes with aplomb!
It's so nice and sharp, it goes exactly where you want it to!!
(Thanks for the nice package of gadgets, Jody!! Very handy!!)

Must be a good omen when your knife color matches your beer color, Jack! I think I'll look for that Jamaican stout.

I've got this Horn '17 close by today!

Your horn Guardians Knife from last year sure has first-class coloring, Ron!!

The lambsfoot I'm carrying this week is my Man Jack:

Thanks Rachel, I wasn't going for a patina but got it anyway, wiped it down right after I was done and was surprised it patinated so quick !

How big is a little Wright Lambfoot? Comparison shots; Li'l Staggy and Big'un.
3 3/8" and 4". More curve in the smaller pattern, makes it handle like a larger knife, for some reason!!

LOL! Dragon Stout is on the sweet side, but worth seeking out I think Nice choice of Lambsfoot

I didn't find any knives in the flea-market yesterday, but I did buy these three handmade hammers, which were made by an old chap I know. Les is going on for 90, and a former engineer and 'Tackler' in the mills. He's very knowledgeable about all things mechanical, and still rides his vintage motorcycles. Among other things, he collects vintage toy cars, and made these hammers to work on them with. He was selling them, and I thought they were interesting

 

[zolthar]

Lovely pic Mark, and very appropriate of course

Thanks Jack!

Splendid background for your ebony Lambsfoot, Mark!

That's another nice pic Mark I'm enjoying seeing the horn Lambsfoot knives, as I only got the briefest of looks at them before sending them out

It's a shame you didn't find any knives, but those hammers are nifty! In addition to old knives, I find myself admiring old and homemade hand tools.

Yeah, I didn't really expect to, these past couple of years, they've practically disappeared in my local market Still keep looking though The traders there all know me now, so keep any they do find on one side I am the same with old tools, I buy far more than I need. I think these hammers will come in useful, but I mainly bought them because old Les had made them

Stag for Saturday Hope everyone is having a good weekend

 

[Jack Black]

Found this thread on Page 3 Still a lot of 2018 Guardians not been shown here

Hope everyone is having a great weekend Carrying this one today
