Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Jack Black said:
Good morning Guardians, great to see the community spirit in this thread :) :thumbsup:

It made a nice change to go and see a movie midweek. We went to a cinema slightly out of town, really smart place, with great reclining seats, and empty! :D :thumbsup: Movie was OK, but you won't miss much waiting to watch it online/TV/DVD. Coming back was a little surreal, they built a major road over there, getting on for a year ago now, dead handy for getting to the cinema, but strangely, it's still not showing up on Satnavs or Google Earth, let alone maps. Normally, even at 11.30pm, you'd expect a big 4-lane highway to have a certain amount of traffic, but there was virtually none. Be a great place to film a post-apocalypse movie! :D

I haven't had much time to go shopping for groceries this week, and also noticed I was running low on beer, so thought I'd order a grocery delivery from one of the big supermarkets here. Booked it for 5.30pm this evening, and received a couple of texts and emails confirming that, even had the name of the guy bringing it, and details of the vehicle. Guess what happened at 5.30AM...my doorbell rang??!!! 😖

By the time I'd put everything away, I figured I might as well get up, and have my morning toast 😒 I hope everyone has made it through the week OK, and that you have an easy Friday. Thought I'd stick with my ebony Charlie lamb :) Have a good one Guardians :thumbsup:

Hope you have a great weekend too Jack. Charlie Lamb is a fine knife and that bread that you are cutting for toast looks yummy!

Good morning Guardians. Rain scheduled for today but none yet. We need it.

Put it down next to a Schrade land shark and there's a resemblance.

Cool Jer, congratulations :cool: I think there was also a connection to the Lambsfoot knives, produced in Japan, in the early 70's (below). It was interesting to see one of the original Landshark designs, and compare it to the more recent ones. One of the fascinating things about the Space Shuttle knives, in my opinion, is that, at the time, few of those buying the knife would have known that they were buying a Lambsfoot :thumbsup:

I wasn't aware of the 70s Japanese lambsfoots.
I wonder if Parker knew he was making a lambsfoot.

I reckon he did Jer, he spent time in Sheffield didn't he (I always confuse him and Taylor)? The Japanese Lambsfoot knives have always been fairly common on local market stalls here, but I wonder if they were only sold here. The guy who had them reckoned he still had a whole garage full of Japanese made knives, which he bought around 1970. Many are marked Solar or Sabre, while others are without a company name :thumbsup:

Please don't wish that upon the poor man. He is an outstanding member of the community, we don't want him corrupted and tarnished by anything as sordid as politics. :eek:

They’re not, for a host of reasons. It would be a good chat over a few pints. Glad you had a decent time. Have a good day,
Jack Black said:
That sounds a lot more healthy than here Bob, but maybe it is just where I live, it could be very different in London for instance. I'm just waking up in Charlie's with a second coffee 🙂👍
