Nothing wrong with asking Dave, I'll also be interested to see if folks put their knives to work, and how, or not. So far, I've used mine, but not on any food - sausage rolls not included! :D Forgot about those ;) I don't really carry knives which I absolutely wouldn't use, so I'll just see what comes along for mine I think :) :thumbsup:

Me too.
If I don't want to use it, I don't carry it.
Those Lambsfoot knives look like they were meant to be used :thumbsup:

No, the canon does not work, at least I don't think so. I just rediscovered it the other day, it was a gift from my son he made in high school, many years ago.

That's cool :cool: I remember seeing miniature cannons which fired matchsticks (by means of a spring), and I think battle game enthusiasts have wee ones which take a small black powder charge :thumbsup: At least two of the Sheffield companies, including Abram Brooksbank, who made Lambsfoot knives, used a canon as their trademark :thumbsup:

One of the old Sheffield breweries also used a canon, and a local expression in their advertising, meaning something excellent - 'Goes down great guns!' :thumbsup:

There's a statue in downtown Austin; wouldn't it make a nice blade etch for a Lambsfoot blade? :D;)

The woman who saved Austin. This bronze commemorates the woman who fired a cannon to stop the transfer of state archives by Republic of Texas President Sam Houston in 1842. Most historians believe Eberly is the primary reason Austin remained the capital of Texas.

(According to to the judicial inquiry into the Sheffield trade union agitation, known as The Sheffield Outrages, some of those involved had already been back and forth across the Atlantic :thumbsup:)

lots of great info Jack :thumbsup:
 
QUOTE="Jack Black, post: 18377554, member: 150652"]These historic cannons in Sheffield (housed now in Kelham Island Industrial Museum) were brought into the city primarily in case the local populace got uppity! :eek:
