Yeah! Glad it’s your last day my friend.

Thank you, Todd.

You’re on a roll, John

Thank you, Harvey.

Love your Ivory Lamb.

Super cool picture, Harvey.

I bought this Big-UN ebony lamb as a second for half price due to the cosmetic flaws on one side. Here’s pics of before and after I did some repair work.

When I see grand old knives like your grand lamb, I want to know all about it's travels and the person who created it.
Beautiful.

Thank you Bob.

Super cool picture, Harvey.

Todd that is a sweet lamb. The tone of your coat is perfect.

Thanks Bob.

Good Morning Guardians

Cool Harvey, looks like your lamb is jumping right out of the photo.

Love your Ivory Lamb.

Thanks John…aren’t you supposed to be working? Sorry buddy, I couldn’t resist.

Nice work

Thanks Jack! I think a bit more sanding and polishing will help.

 

[JohnDF]

aren’t you supposed to be working?

Hey... I work on my computer, so I'm technically being paid to answer you right now.

Nice job, it looks sweet.

Added another two-blade Lambfoot to my tribe - this one with Ebony covers and ordered direct from the manufacture in Sheffield, England - not the guy in Eugene.

Beautiful flock Ed.

 

[Fodderwing]

Great picture, Dwight.

Thanks JD.

What a cool mantle

Odie was good people.

That's a cool pic Dwight, I remember you mentioning Big Odie in the past Sounds like he died happy

He died at 21 yrs of age. Cancer got him. He was a heavy smoker...

We were originally supposed to drive down to Arkansas tomorrow for Christmas, but they’re forecasting blizzard conditions along the entire drive, so we packed up early and headed out today.

It was -10° and snowing in Minnesota this morning while I was loading the car, but warmed up to a balmy 45° as we reached Arkansas. Unfortunately those Minnesota-like temps will be following right behind us. Tomorrow’s storm is supposed to drop the temps to below zero even here in Arkansas, which is pretty unusual.

Thanks Barrett for bringing some decent CHRISTMAS weather down here.

Good Morning Guardians
It's my last day of work for this calendar year.
My wife knows me so well, she bought me this new ornament yesterday.

Very cool John.

The all-inclusive booze in the hotel is so bad, I've been out to buy some!

What did you buy Jack?

Very nice Bob and I concur. Our teachers deserve honor and appreciation.

Todd that is gorgeous scales on that beauty. Smooth white bone?

I hadn't read this or similar threads until after I ordered an A Wright lambsfoot couple of days ago. My father always carried a lambsfoot in his ute on the farm and I have fond memories of him using it for everything. Always wanted a working man's one for myself.

I ordered one on A Wright's website and it said there was a wait as they were made to order, that's fine I thought it's a quiet time at work anyhow. Imagine my surprise when less than a couple of hours later I got an email saying mine had been shipped. I hope they didn't make it that quickly!

I'm not looking for a beautiful show piece, I work in agriculture and want an EDC for my job but if this thing functionally bombs I'll want something else.

Any other recommendations on solid and sturdy working lambsfoot folders? don't need to be expensive at all. In fact prefer they weren't as it will be a hard life for this knife. And doesn't need to be Sheffield, I don't own any US made knives so open to that idea. Looked at some plain working ones here in Aus but the prices were ridiculous.

You're becoming obsessed Ed, again!

What did you buy Jack?

I got a Rioja Gran Reserva Dwight. At £20, it was the most expensive wine in the shop, but I'm not drinking the brutal wine they serve here on Xmas Day. I don't mind the odd glass of Amstel, but it's the only beer they have, and the spirits and cocktails are so heavily watered they're hard to drink. Bit of a con considering how much they charge for the all-inclusive. If they're struggling, I wish they'd limit the amount of drinks or something. It's a lovely place, but I've rarely been this sober!

Edit - It's actually a Reserva from 2017. Have to do I was even looking at beers in a supermarket today, but they didn't have, and all in the same style - lot of Germans here.

Happy memories Hatchet_Jack Welcome to the Guardians thread. We don't discuss buying here, but if you have a read of post 1, you'll find, among other things, a link to the thread index, with lots of info you might find useful (like the fact Wright's website isn't run by them, but by a dealer, who places orders with them)

Wow, what a beauty !

 

[bigfish64]

Good point.

Todd that is gorgeous scales on that beauty. Smooth white bone?

Thanks Dwight. It’s actually stag. It’s a nice lamb that was gifted to me by sbh06 , but it had rather lackluster stag covers so I sanded and polished them.

Great shot, really nice lighting.

 

[SteveC]

That's cold Steve! I hope you are managing to keep warm buddy

I learned to embrace the cold and try to enjoy being outside as much as I can , especially if it's sunny.

Cassie doesn't seem to mind it either

Very cool John.

Congrats on getting a Lambsfoot coming. Hope it's a solid purchase for you.

Adorable.

Afternoon guardians. I just got home and made a spiked coffee. Great Northerns in the crockpot and a whole 11 days of no work starting tomorrow. Could not be happier. Feels good. Hope everyone has some downtime to recharge and focus on what is most important.
