Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I received a surprise package from Australia today :)

I thought I'd open it over a quiet pint of Kirkstall Brewery's Virtuous IPA :)

It turned out to be a bumper box of goodies from our friend and fellow Guardian Cambertree Cambertree (I'll show some of them in due course) :) :) :thumbsup:

Thanks mate :) I'll PM you shortly :) :thumbsup:
 
Good morning, Guardians.

Have a bit of stag with my coffee today. Hoping more slips reach their destinations soon. Always nerve wracking to send things overseas. I sent something to a fellow member in Finland not too long ago and he received it within just a few days. Whereas he sent me something in return and it took almost a couple weeks!

Regardless, I hope everyone is well.

Glad it arrived safe and sound, mate - I was starting to worry - nearly a month in transit! Although judging by the stamp it looks like it took a detour by way of HM Customs!:rolleyes:

In the spirit of the Lambsfoot styled, spin off variants referenced in Greg's @WhittlinAway's index, I hope you enjoy Frostfoot!;):)

Me too! :) Yes, there rarely seems to be much rhyme or reason to how international packages get handled. I am very, very grateful my friend :) Great pic there too :thumbsup:

Some of you will be familiar with Chin's Lambshank, a fixed-blade Lambsfoot, which has been discussed here on a number of occasions, and which has its own special place in Greg's index :) Well, I can now introduce the Frostfoot, which he has made for me, and which was in the parcel I received today. Like a big old scary sharp Lambsfoot! :cool:

I put it to work straight away slicing veggies for my 'Vanzetti Spaghetti', and it works real well :) As I was just saying to Chin via PM, I'll be able to throw away that old prison razor-blade now ;) Thanks again for a great knife Chin :thumbsup: I'll let you know how I go on with it folks :) :thumbsup:
 
Only a brief post tonight to show off the lambsfoot I'm carrying this week. I hope to spend "quality time" with the Guardians at some point tomorrow. :)

This week is Black Jack, the ebony Guardians lambsfoot:

Many thanks for the Yorkshire Day greetings dear friends :) I'm just on the train back from Sheffield, with a very bad internet connection, but I hope to catch up with you all soon :) :thumbsup:
 
Happy Yorkshire Day, everyone! Yorkshire Day finds me in Flagstaff, Arizona, on the road with my family, which now includes a 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot.

With sincere gratitude to Jack Black Jack Black , I humbly request admission to the Guardianhood. Thank you, Jack, and thank you all for giving me so much to read (and drool over) these past several months. This is truly a great community and a solid pillar of this porch :thumbsup:

I received my GuardiansFoot last week, just in time for a two-week vacation in Idaho and Arizona. The photos below illustrate our journey thus far:

First, the unboxing at our home in Tucson, Arizona. My six-year-old daughter was the inspiration to contact the High Guardian himself and inquire after a lambsfoot. She caught me staring slack-jawed at one of the 2018's and said "That's a pretty knife. I wish you had one of those." Thanks to Jack and his considerable acumen in international commerce (and commendably thorough packaging), now we do :D

Shortly after the unboxing, we took Lambchop outside for his first glamor shot (with mesquite beans). Still sporting the factory edge.

We hit the road for the first leg of our trip and started the Patina Party in Idaho.

After a few potatoes, lemons and limes for margaritas and a bit of passing-around to family members who needed a sharp knife for other cooking duties, Lambchop needed some care. A short session with a sharpening stone and strop, and "Lambchop" was more like "Lambshave" o_O Seriously, folks, a sharp lambsfoot is no joke. Here he is sporting his new edge on a mature willow tree...

...and resting on a slab of basalt next to a fountain :cool:

On our last day in Idaho, we found a clump of maple leaves in pre-autumn splendor. They caught my eye as it was far too early for this kind of color. Nevertheless, a nice photo opp. What hams these Lambsfeet are ;)

Thanks for the Yorkshire Day greeting Mikel, welcome to the Guardians, and I must say, your daughter has impeccable taste! :) Thank you for those fantastic photos, and I'm glad you're enjoying the Lambsfoot :) :thumbsup:

I've posted some pics from my Yorkshire Day adventures here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/august-1st-is-yorkshire-day.1600718/page-6#post-18287724, but here's a couple for here :) :thumbsup:

Happy belated Yorkshire Day, Jack! I must confess that I was very busy yesterday and the day prior and despite my best intentions, I was unable to contribute to your thread like I wanted to, though I was not intending to enter the giveaway portion of it.

Despite my busyness, you were still in my thoughts and I hope you had a wonderful holiday.

I have this one with me today. The prize of my Lambsfoot collection.
