Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

That is a nice one. I am one of those that like the Senator; It could be improved - about 1/4" or so shorter and the bolsters a little bit less squared, but I like it. I "improved" mine by rounding the corners of the bolsters to my liking.

Nice work While it's not my favourite Lambsfoot pattern, I don't mind it. The only thing I dislike about it is the name given to it by one or other of the characters who each claims to have named it, with limited knowledge of cutlery patterns, and even less imagination. A Senator is a particular type of Penknife pattern, it has nothing to do with Lambsfoot knives

Stated perfectly.

Amen to that

 

[Jack Black]

How could one not Jack , with such fine examples displayed here. Do feel better soon.

Thank you Bob, while there are some fine-looking knives shown in this thread, I think that it's when you get to use a Lambsfoot that you really fall under its spell

I'm learning that quite quickly.

Evening Guardians. Sounds like everyone has had a good day. Stag Lamb today. Haven't given this one a name yet.

Jack liked your pics and commentary on your trip to Harrogate. To bad about the cafe and the galoot that waited on you. I loved it when you counted out exact cash payment and left it on the counter top before exiting the cafe.

Thanks David, I should have gone to Charlie's

Good morning Guardian's, I hope everyone is having a good weekend It's Remembrance Sunday here.

In common with other industrial towns in the north of England, Sheffield was quick to form its own "Pals" battalion in the early weeks of the First World War....Eighteen days after arriving in France, the battalion took over a stretch of the front line opposite the fortified hill-top village of Serre...At 7.20am the first wave of the battalion moved 100yds into No Man's Land and lay flat on the ground as the brigade mortar battery and divisional artillery placed a final hurricane bombardment over the German front line. A few minutes later - with the British front line coming under an intense counter-barrage - the second wave took up position 30yds behind the first....At 7.30am the bombardment lifted from the German front line. All four waves rose, took a moment to align themselves, then advanced steadily towards the German lines into a devastating hail of machine gun bullets and shellfire. An ineffective smoke screen exposed the battalion to machine gun fire from the left as well as from ahead. The third and fourth waves, caught on the opposite side of the valley, were reduced to half strength before even reaching No Man's Land....Within minutes it was as if the battalion had been wiped off the face of the earth. Cpl. Signaller Outram recalled that as far as the eye could see, the last two men left standing on the battlefield were himself and another signaller, A. Brammer. They signalled to each other. Outram turned his head for a moment, and when he looked back Brammer had gone.

That day of battle in the dusty heat
We lay and heard the bullets swish and sing
Like scythes amid the over-ripened wheat,
And we the harvest of their garnering.

I've been out for a walk up the road this morning, then back home for a bacon sammich I like soft white bread for bacon sandwiches, but had to make do with malted sourdough

 

[JohnDF]

That's a wonderful Lambsfoot, Jack.

Good Sunday Guardians. Relaxing sipping coffee enjoying some cooler weather. The frontal passage kept our fishing shore-bound. Found a reasonable spot and soaked some finger mullet. No catch, but we had a blast nonetheless

I enjoyed my newest lambsfoot - a beautiful rosewood in this pretty special slip. An unexpected and very generous gift from Fodderwing . Much obliged, Dwight! I’m digging it my friend And Pete is on his way back north with a beautifully figured piece of ebony. Have everyone enjoy a great day to close the weekend.
