Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Thanks Bob. John’s been so generous to me over the last few years, it was the least I could do.

Great stuff

Good morning Guardians. Winter blast came through here and it's near freezing this morning so I will be delaying my walk until it warms up a little. HHB again today.

Hope you and your Barlow got your walk in Bill

Good morning Guardians. Celebrating my mother-n-law’s birthday today and then headed down to watch my son’s basketball game. Finally a home game! View attachment 2086983

I’m just saying a JohnDF slip with a bead from bigfish64 really sets off carrying this knife. To quote Whitesnake…”is this love?”

Stunning Jon

Lovely lamb Jack. I hope another adventure is in store for you today friend.

Thanks a lot buddy

Forget the post and enjoy your Mates and festivities, Jack.

Thanks Harvey, I don't know what was going on with the forum yesterday morning

Good Morning Guardians

Superb photos my friend Great-looking stag on your Lamb

Nothing fancy today - well, the Snakewood covers are but still a plain example of a Lambfoot. Surprised a lot of you guys are out playing golf instead of watching Tiger play golf.

Great to see your venerable vintage Lamb Steve

I always have a great time perusing the Guardians thread; dialed in a Lambsfoot for today.

Cool pic JJ, it's great to see you here Lovely horn on that Lambsfoot

Thank you, Jack! I hope you are keeping well this weekend.

Many thanks my friend, that's another beautiful composition

 

[Jack Black]

Catching up on some work today. Thankful this lamb has enough exposed to pinch open. Hope everyone’s long weekend is off to a good start.

Nice work Jeremy Glad you're enjoying your Dam Lamb

Thanks Harvey, we just had some pizza and cheesecake. When you’re 88 you can eat whatever you want and that’s what mom wanted.

Brilliant!

With the thought of repeating myself, the Guardians thread has some of the best and most creative pictures that exist on Blade Forums. Thanks all, for the many great visual treats!!!

Here is an unusual Wostenholm model from most likely the 1960s to 1970s era. The handles are jigged plastic which mimic jigged bone.
Brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, a pretty decent example all in all.

It's great to see you here buddy I have seen that moulded plastic material on other IXL patterns, and on other Sheffield knives from that period. Cool pic

Days off are glorious. Especially when it is in the 40s. Think I may go walk a nice trail and just enjoy being outside. Crazy because 5 months ago 40s in El paso would be considered cold. Amazing how fast one can get acclimated to different climates. Got the IXL rosewood today. Have a great day Guardians.

Hope you enjoyed the day my friend, that's a nice-looking IXL

Thank you Todd. You have no idea how many porch members that I had to joust to claim it.

1 *XL? Have I been a uncultured moron again? Thanks for correcting me Harvey.

It's actually IXL ('I Excel')

I like it, looks unique. I have never seen one of those before, but we had limited supplies over here. But when i saw it i had 2 trains of thought but i could be completely wrong, Jack will know more. First thought, cutting back on manufacturing costs, plastic is cheap. Second thought, probably wrong though. Plastic handles on a farm/work knife more hygienic when working with animals and blood, ie, easier to maintain and keep clean. But whatever, i like it and you have a nice Lambsfoot there.

I reckon your first thought was correct my friend, that period was one where the Sheffield manufacturers were competing hard with foreign competition, and cutting costs (and corners unfortunately). Generally when I see knives with those covers, they don't look like H herder 's beautiful example, but are absolutely filthy!

Happy Saturday Guardians!

Hope you're having a great weekend Taylor

Evening Guardians! Hope everyone has a good Saturday evening. Mine will be laid back. 19 will keep me company.

Looks like a great day Pete

Thank you Jack. Hope you are recovering from your travels yesterday. I would have enjoyed immersing myself in the viking celebration.
I did alot of ocean racing on a sailboat owned by a Norwegian. Everyday was an adventure with him!

Thank you Bob, I hope you can come over one year That sounds exciting!

Well, as I consumed this beer, my wife won $300 at the craps table!View attachment 2088283

Yay! Lucky Lamb

 

[Jack Black]

Good morning Guardians, well I think that's me caught up! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Sorry for my swift exit yesterday, but I was meeting the Teds for an early start, six miles out of Leeds, so needed to get moving (cost me £30 in taxi fares!). A good day's hard boozing, in a series of pubs, and it was good to see Tool Man, and lots of the other tool stall regulars, scrubbed up, and away from the market No photos I'm afraid, but if any come my way, I'll post them. Have a great Sunday Guardians Charlie Lamb for me

 

[Rufus1949]

Good day, I hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday. Carrying Lucky, as Jack christened it, today.

Looks like you may have an airgun there but not sure. What is it? Nice Lamb Foot knife!

 

[Rufus1949]

Always kind of you to say Steve.
Hope you are relaxing today.

Good morning Guardians. Having a nice Sunday morning - all quiet. My son is officiating at a soccer tournament today so I think I'll drop by and watch for awhile. My HHB will be with me again.

Another great shot Jon

I walked down to Charlie's for a coffee and a croissant, and then called round to my friends to drop off a birthday gift for their little girl, Rheia. I was going to go into town for some bread, but good bread might be hard to find today, so I'm back at Charlie's waiting for a second breakfast

My mom's soon to be 90 Todd. Are we blessed or what?!?!?!?!

We truly are my friend.

Hope you all have a fantastic day Todd Fine-looking Lamb

We had a great time Jack. We had a nice time celebrating mom B-day, my son and his team played well even though they lost in overtime, and we had a nice meal at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

Your Charlie lamb is looking great Jack. Too bad there aren’t any photos Jack. I bet there would be some good ones!

Congrats on that beauty John

great looking lamb John

That is beautiful

What a great enhancement

So glad you like it John

That's fantastic John!

Congratulations John

Two kind gentlemen at it again!

there is a very clean look to that lamb

Thank you to all the Guardians for their kind responses... and thanks again to Todd.

Glad you and Todd have a friendship, which I'm sure goes deeper than knives

Oh yes, we've bonded over knives, teaching, fly fishing, sports, family, hobbies, morning fires, etc... Todd is good people... I really hope to meet up with him some day.

Thank you Todd, I'm sure there will be photos circulating on FB, but I am not a member I did find a couple of pics of Tool Man on my phone!

Good morning. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
