Thanks!My first idea for a Lambsfoot SFO was a shadow, with lignum vitae covers
I have three, one Joseph Rodgers, two by TEW, none of them are good examples. Others have much better ones
I'm sure other Guardians will show better examples Tyson
One of my all time favorites too. The knife ain't bad either!You really need to get out more.
It's one of my all-time favorite movies... funny/sci-fi/horror.
That would have been great!My first idea for a Lambsfoot SFO was a shadow, with lignum vitae covers
Thanks Harvey
Wright's had a problem using Lignum Vitae, which seemed somewhat irrational, particularly as they've used it since. Sheffield cutlers are very conservative/lazy, and getting them to produce anything different/new is always difficult. In my experience, once they're eventually convinced that a contract pattern will sell, they can't wait to rip it off 
Thanks, Jack.Thanks Gary, it's good to see you here
I'm often here in the thread, but "silently lurking" too often over the past few months.Thanks for your vote of confidence regarding the quality of my edge, John.Per your post, your "edge" seems fine to me, GT.But ya... A bath wouldn't hurt.
Your knife looks great in any light, Bill!
Thanks for the info, Todd.
I occasionally will put a little mineral oil on a wood (or bone) handle, but wonder if I should be doing more (with beeswax, or some special wood treatment/sealant, or some kind of furniture polish/preservative).Thanks, Rachel.
That's GREAT-looking wood on your lambsfoot, and thanks for the info about rosewood oil, which I didn't even know was a thing.
Splendid photo of your AC, Jack; they're a very picturesque flock of lambs!...
Think I'm going to carry my AC
I seemed to be quite busy that day, too, Jack, but it sounds like your day was MUCH more productive than mine was!I should have taken bets!
Harvey, the taquitos make my mouth water, and that fine old lambsfoot makes my soul drool!...
Taquitos, melted extra sharp chedder, Sriracha, and Lamb.
John, when I was a lad, perhaps my LEAST favorite job on the farm was picking up rocks OUT OF a freshly plowed and harrowed field.I carry a Lambsfoot...
Because sometimes you have serious work to do.
My Usual Lamb helping me open bags of rocks to be spread in the garden.
It's hard for me to believe that you're buying rocks to put INTO your field!!!

, had personal milestones fast approaching at that time: John's 4-year BF anniversary occurred on May 14, and Harvey's 8-year BF anniversary occurred on May 18. Belated congrats to each of those gentlemen! 
(And note the symmetry of their dates of joining Blade Forums, John on 5/14/18 and Harvey on 5/18/14!!! 
I always enjoy seeing your 2-bladed lambsfoot, ED, and appreciate your "testimonial".
Someday I'll get one of those.Taylor, those jigged bone WCLFs still set off fireworks for me almost every time I see them!
Outstanding pair of knives that you must be very happy to have, Charlie!
Thanks for the report on the challenges of your 2-bladed lambsfoot, Ken, and for your subsequent post showing how successfully you were able to meet those challenges! Impressive work!Here is what I was talking about previously in regards to stout pulls on the lambsfoot blades.
Fit and finish is on par with my other lambsfoots (not bad but with some gaps on the back and uneven grinds). On this sample, I'll need to retract my previous comment about the secondary pull being an 8. It's above 9...I can't seem to open it now lol...only with a knife pick I can safely open without the fear of my nails tearing
However, even with that, my only qualm about this knife is that the knife doesn't have any swedges! Disappointing lol.
...
Oh and one more thing, for those who are wondering...this knife was ordered on February 9th from the dealer in UK. The first package got lost or never left the shipping station and this one arrive about a week a go (while I was away). The dealer gave me a pocket honing rod as a gift for the long duration and it is a cool little tool!
I think I'm going to 'experiment' with this one with mods....wish me luck!
Welcome back, Jon; I hope you got that new member of your crew all squared away and ship-shape now, Chief!
Many thanks, GT. Your Man Jack is Man Tastic!Harvey, the taquitos make my mouth water, and that fine old lambsfoot makes my soul drool!
Will do Jack. I’ve been busy to say the least, but I would suspect we all are just in different ways.Definitely Jon, enjoy every fleeting minute
Thank you!
Thank you. He actually gave us a bit of a scare the first week, but doing good nowWelcome back, Jon; I hope you got that new member of your crew all squared away and ship-shape now, Chief!
Thanks, Jack.
Thanks for your vote of confidence regarding the quality of my edge, John.
On your recommendation, I took a shower after a workout Tuesday and then tried to oil my joints with mineral oil. Didn't rejuvenate me the way I'd hoped; my wife now says I'm slimy.
Thanks GarySplendid photo of your AC, Jack; they're a very picturesque flock of lambs!
That's quite unusual for me these days!I seemed to be quite busy that day, too, Jack, but it sounds like your day was MUCH more productive than mine was!
Well spotted!By the way, in my last post, I mentioned Jack's milestone of 3000 pages for this thread, which occurred 100 pages ago, back in mid-May. I forgot to include that I happened to notice at that time that 2 leading Guardians,
You've had that one a few years now
Now we're talking!
TMI, my good friend.
I know, right? I am ashamed, and apparently lazy.
Thanks for noticing, GT.
That's scary.
Jon, something I always tell new parents is: The first 20 years are the hardest!
He’s my 4th. My oldest is 15. Obviously my family planning is a bit off or weirdJon, something I always tell new parents is: The first 20 years are the hardest!
It's good to see your Lambsfoot
It's not much easier after that either.
Oh, sorry Jon! Well, you know!
You're right mate, my eldest is nearly 40!It's not much easier after that either.
Thanks!
I always love seeing the in my drawer!! Too fine to use, I'd say - destined for history I hope!!Outstanding pair of knives that you must be very happy to have, Charlie!
