Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

That’s “a low-down dirty rotten shame.“ I would love a lignum vitae. Lambfoot.

Me too

Things to do on on a sunny Summer’s day, plus good things to eat with a friend. Doesn’t get much better my friend.

Thanks Harvey

Can’t wait to see that when it’s finished, Jack.

Thanks again my friend, I'd kind of forgotten about it. I prefer to do that kind of work out in the garden, but until this week, the weather has been such that I've not sat out much

Good Morning Guardians

I absolutely love that photo

I'm making a mace-headed stick!

That will be cool!

that looks like a good book

I've ordered one of yours.
MIne isn't entirely traditional, somewhere in there they strengthen something with a formica insert. It has some good ideas though.

How’s the hickory nut thing going, Todd? Love that pére david Lambfoot.

Thanks Harvey. They haven’t started dropping in any numbers yet. The one in my picture is the largest so far but also the only one that has fallen lately. It has several worm holes so I won’t be trying that one.

Good Morning Guardians

Beautiful photo as usual.

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.

Good morning Guardians, 6.30am here in Yorkshire, and it's been bright and sunny since I got up an hour ago, supposed to be in the mid 70's again. I usually meet up with my best pal on Fridays, but he has a works meeting today. I have plenty to do myself though Have a good Friday Guardians, it's nearly the weekend

Enjoy it JohnDF !!

Cool pic, Jack.

Can you imagine being neighbors with someone who plays bagpipes?

A pal of mine has a day off today, so I met him for a coffee before I went into town to get some shopping, and he rode off for a cycle ride Supposed to be 32C here today - I might have to look up what that means!

I think it means shorts weather, but for some reason you don’t really strike me as a shorts kind of guy. Hope you have/had a nice day, Jack.

Great photo John.

Good morning Guardians.

Nice pic, Todd.

Condiment (and Lambsfoot) content:

A while back, I mentioned running out of my favorite BBQ sauce, Gates Extra Hot from Kansas City. I’d been meaning to stock up, but it’s not available locally, and the only way I found to get it for a reasonable price (around $5 per bottle instead of $10+) was to order a case of 12 directly from Gates, which I was a bit hesitant to do because, well, that’s a lot of BBQ sauce!

I finally placed the order last week, and it showed up today. I’m the only one in the family who really likes the spicy Extra Hot, so I got six of those (that should last me a while), and two each of their other offerings. I’ve never tried the Mild or Sweet & Mild before, so we’ll see how those are. I’m hoping at least the kids will like them.

My stag HHB helped open the packaging.

I had a stretch over a decade ago where I needed a cane to walk for three or four months. When this first happened, I tried out my Purpleheart Armoury bamboo cane, but it's a bit too long and a bit too wobbly. (I use it in my singlestick basket - it's great for hitting your friends, not so great as an actual cane.) So I ordered up a Cold Steel African Walking Stick. That worked surprisingly well (after putting a rubber cap on the toe).

Cold Steel likes to market everything they make as some kind of amazing last ditch self-defense tool, and if you managed to hit somebody with this thing, the results would be impressive. Literally - you would leave a deep impression in their surface. But it is so heavy and slow that you could probably only hit them with it if they were already unconscious. Not much of a weapon, but a great cane for actually supporting you as you walk around.

I'm a bit smitten with my new LF, came in handy on a job today.

Nice pic, Todd.

Thanks Barrett.

Nice selection of sauces, you’re set for awhile.

I just posted this pic in the "Modified Production Knives" thread but thought I'd share here too. J jsdistin did a blade delete on a GEC 88 for me, what do you think? It's not the traditional lambsfoot handle shape but I love everything about this!

Ready for print ad.

First, that image is fabulous.

Thank you, Harvey.

Second, I don’t think I’m that great.

Well, I think you are, so there...

I like the Big Brother / Little Brother Vibe.

 

[cudgee]

You are well-deserving, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Thankyou my friend. Did you like Charlie's announcement from a couple of days ago. ???

Afternoon Guardians! Got the Big Horn Lamb today.

 

[Jack Black]

That will be cool!

Hoping so

I've ordered one of yours.

Cool I have another one too. They're both full of useful information

Cool pic, Jack.

Can you imagine being neighbors with someone who plays bagpipes?

That would be the absolute WORST! I know a woman who plays the cello, and she makes a nice sound, but 20 years ago, I put her up for a month, when she was just learning to play...! Probably still nowhere near as bad as the pipes though!

I think it means shorts weather, but for some reason you don’t really strike me as a shorts kind of guy. Hope you have/had a nice day, Jack.

Definitely not, I'm Scottish from the knees down! You may have heard of Vantablack, but you've probably never heard of VantaWHITE! I was forever put off shorts by reading Orwell's 1984 as a youngster!

That is quite a package Barrett! I have heard of Gates - though it may be from YOU! I do like to make up my own barbecue sauce, but it's been a while since I actually did so. Picked this one up today

I know what you mean Tyson, someone gave me a CS Sjambok, which seems to have a fearsome reputation. Probably a terrible thing to use on folks who can barely afford clothes, but it's really just a piece of plastic

Steve, you will LOVE that blade

Looking good there

Well, I managed to get the stick finished for my neighbour's kid It's not easy photographing long skinny things - which is why I had to put on weight for the camera! Hopefully I can get an outdoor pic tomorrow

Toasting the stick! Cheers Guardians

Looks great Caleb, the ironwood is fantastic.

Yes, I like a good working man's knife.

Oops! Dropped this quote! I think that looks absolutely fantastic

 

[JohnDF]

I can't be the only one here thinking that the frame on the proposed 2022 Forum Knife would make an excellent Small Lambsfoot. Flip that thing around and put a Lambsfoot blade in it already.
