Nice knife and Vesta Steve

Thanks Jack, I think it was my great grandpa's . I knew it was a match box but never knew it was called a Vespa. Thanks for the lesson

Cool that you have it Steve I see them regularly here, but they're expensive. They were often carried in a waistcoat pocket, on the opposite end of the (double) chain to a pocket watch. It's actually Vesta, rather than Vespa, if you want to research them Don't want you being struck down!

Great image of your bagpipe Lamb. Love how you isolated the chewed sammich.

Thanks Harvey.

That looks sooooooo cool Harvey.

Thanks for saving us a bit Todd!

It looked very tasty my friend!

Here’s my new lambsfoot. It’s 4 inches with a 3 inch blade. Daniel Keown made it. He made the Pruner I bought and he’s a member here. And one thing led to another and now I have a flock.

 

[Fodderwing]

You too Greg, that's a great pic

Another striking photo buddy

Thanks for the thread rescue Harvey

I must say ---- That is one beautiful piece of cutlery...

I agree. And he had never done a lambsfoot before this one…

 

[Fodderwing]

I agree. And he had never done a lambsfoot before this one…

Well it could not be more beautiful. I'm not sure it is going to be declared a "lambsfoot" by Jack but we will see. Either way it is spectacular.

Here’s my new lambsfoot

Beautiful knife, really gorgeous... but it looks more "Wharnie" than "Lambie"
It might just be the picture, but it looks like the spine "swells' rather than "dives".

Thank you Todd.

It is certainly a beautiful knife. Congratulations. The knife posed upside down, with the main focus of the blade on its’ straight edge, could lead one to to think wharnie, but I rotated the image and to my imperfect eyes, it looks like a lambfoot.

Thanks Bob.

It’s. Like I’m right next to it, and could touch everything.

 

[unclekurty]

The angle of the spine goes down the whole way. Maybe more of an angle and a less of a curve at the end of the blade would be better. The blade is closer to my Kroo at the end than my Toole. Tomorrow I’ll take a picture of all three together.

The angle of where the blade meets the body is flatter then either the Toole or Kroo though.

It was fun having a knife built.

Some years ago, the young 'uns were using 'Boss' as a complimentary adjective David

Thank you Jack! That's nice to know.

Still used here as a term of endearment , but only by knockabouts from my generation or older, and not many of us left. Been to far too many funerals over the last few years of a lot of my old " Knockabout Mates ".

Very unique covers....well done!

I didn't want you to spend all night searching, and coming up with scooters!

That's a beautiful knife! A bit early in the morning here to be searching through old pics and catalogue images for comparison. It certainly treads a fine line, but based on what I can see, I agree with @ciggarodog

Thanks Dwight, it sees a lot of use

I like that soupy stag my friend, great pic

I agree. And he had never done a lambsfoot before this one…

Tell him to make it look more like a Lambsfoot next time!

That would be great to see

Thank you Jack! That's nice to know.

I think it was popularised by a TV series called 'Red Dwarf', which I never watched

Great to see your Waynorth Lambsfoot

It's still common, in that form, here Leon, I get called it regularly, but it always makes me cringe a bit! Very sorry to hear about your old mates

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing OK. I have to wait in for a parcel delivery (the one which should have come Friday), but it's filthy weather outside, so I have mixed feelings about it. I'm sure I can find stuff to do Have a good day Guardians
