Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

VUiAoal.jpg


I’ve been bored sick at home. Quarantine sucks. BUT! It’s given me time to hang out with my knives and I decided to take this pic of all my lambs.

I have a few general production ones on the left, but the real stars are the ones that Jack Black Jack Black got done. The Ashley’s Choice is probably in my top 5 knives in my whole collection.

Anyway, Hope all is well with everyone here!

Great knife and interesting wrench. Can you please tell us more about the wrench? I've seen a few of those but don't even know what they're called. Thanks!

Afternoon Guardians! Tyson the adjustable wrench brand name is King Dick. Try not to laugh to hard. Named after the company owners champion Boxer dog if I remember correctly I cant remember all the details but if you do a search plenty of info should come up.

We can get this English Vintage Cheese over here, i think it may be imported only for Australian stores. It is made by Wyke farms in county Somerset. Pound for pound, value for money this is the best vintage cheese i have ever eaten. I used to buy Quick's or Chewtons cloth bound English cheddar years ago, they were the bench mark and still are but just got too expensive. Used to pay 15 Pound Sterling per kilogram, now over 100 Pound Sterling per kilogram, well out of my league. This English cheddar from Aldi is 10 Pound Sterling per kilogram, so you can see why i rate it so highly at value for money. It has the slightly crumbly texture that really good English cheddar has, and that nearly gritty bite of a good cheddar. Not like that mass produced stuff that cuts and tastes like plastic. :p:p:p:p:p:p👌.

Cool :cool: I have a wrench like that (Richards 'Tent Brand' in my case) on my kitchen table :) I just went to take a pic, but my table is piled high with all the clutter I moved out of the way of my boiler on Friday, and is now going to have to stay there until Monday :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

Thanks! I searched on the brand Jack mentions and found some interesting things. I haven't looked for echoscout's brand yet but I'm sure that will have some, ah, idiosyncratic Google search results.

I see vintage King Dick tools, but only bought the Richards tool because of my interest in the company. There's plenty of info about them online, including several videos :thumbsup:

That sounds like a bargain mate :) Are those Ritz crackers over on the right? By coincidence, I had some with cheddar last night, with an Aussie Cabernet Sauvignon :) :thumbsup:

Fabulous photos Dan, it looks like you're having a wonderful time :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a most excellent weekend ;) My mate's lad got a kid's bow, and arrows, for his birthday, and is eager to show it to me, so we're off to the woods this afternoon. Hopefully, me and his dad can get a pint in on the way back ;) I'm sticking with my Hartshead Barlow :) Have a great Sunday everyone :thumbsup:

No mate, they are also from Aldi, a lot cheaper and better in my opinion. 👌
