Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jakeywax31]

I obviously don't pay enough attention Steve! Thanks for that pic, and for raising this Just looking through the knives I have to hand, with an illuminated magnifying glass, the following have exposed pins (had to blow out some muck and pocket fluff to see)...

2019 Guardians Lambsfoot
AW Ebony Lambsfoot
Ashley's Choice Lambsfoot
AW Rosewood Big 'Un

These don't...

Hartshead Barlow
Sambar/Damascus SFO

Knives in both categories were made by the same cutler, which makes it peculiar. I have to say, it's a long time since I actually looked!


Thanks buddy, it was fairly inexpensive at least

Great to see you call in Christian, a rare treat my friend! I hope @pmew is doing OK Those nickel silver bolsters won't patina easily, GEC used the good stuff! Nice blade patina though

It is indeed Christian, I think that would be a rather expensive knife I remember, years ago, when I was in my late 20's, I found a small piece on the beach. I took it into one of the Jet shops, and a lady showed me a trick whereby the Jet would briefly appear brown if you rubbed it with the sandpaper on the edge of a matchbox. She said it was worth around £10, and offered to buy it, but I said I'd prefer to keep it. Back in Sheffield, I showed it to my climbing buddy. He looked at it, and said it was something similar, but not actually Jet. I related what had happened in Whitby, and he told me that the matchbox would have the same effect on a range of similar minerals, at which point, I remembered that my friend, who had trampled on my dreams, had a doctorate in geology, and probably knew what he was talking about! I did look at using coal for some covers. A small collective of former Yorkshire miners were producing various items made from a material they had developed, which I think was essentially coal and phenolic resin. I approached them about it, but they were hard work to deal with. I did buy some of their products, as samples though, a number of small 'fairy doors', which were passed on to the children and grandchildren of a few members here

Thanks Pete, hope so

Thank you very much JJ

Good morning Guardians, a busy day today, so I'm going to put these knives back away, and get on with it Have a good one Guardians, I'm carrying my Hartshead Barlow

Have a great day Jack. Interesting on the pins. I wonder how they base the decision on whether to expose or enclose the pin?

It's cold here today, and I'm just warming my cockles in Charlie's before heading into town

Pictures like that is why I'm looking for a new coffee/expresso maker. Looks to be the perfect thing to warm you up for your busy day.

Some really great shots of your HHB Jack. The pile side, especially.

Good morning Guardians. Going over to my friends house today for homemade sausage making. We'll de-bone about 100 pounds of pork shoulder, grind and add our own spices. I alway ad about 20% bacon to my sausage concoction. Decadent! My HHB will no doubt get into the act.

I found this old clock, that my father made many years ago, packed away in a box full of old memories. I think I will resurrect it to working order.

Your HHB is really wonderful Bill. Homemade sausauge and an your fathers old clock!!!! This post is just good all the way around.

Coffee and some workshop time. Not a lot done this morning as my son got up early and wanted to play. View attachment 2108644

Happy that you are taking to the pattern. Be careful they are known to multiply quickly in ones collection.

Good Morning Guardians
I got my very first cornhole win last night.
I'm thinking of changing my nickname to "blind squirrel".
Going with the Big 'Un today, hope nobody searches my pockets at work.

You sure got lucky on that horn, it really extenuates the curve of the handle !

First carry for the Charlie Lamb. This knife is really great. I hope they do another run so more people can experience them. Not really carrying anything to be honest. Caught a stomach bug and had a horrible night last night and don't feel much better today. Picture was taken on my way to the . Thank goodness for sick leave. Hope you all have a great day.

Hope you feel better soon! One of my older kids had some sort of stomach bug earlier this week. Was mostly a 24-hour thing, which she then passed on to her husband. Hopefully yours passes quickly as well!

Sorry to hear you're under the weather buddy, hopefully that lovely Charlie Lamb has healing properties

Have a great day Jack. Interesting on the pins. I wonder how they base the decision on whether to expose or enclose the pin?

Thanks Paul, things aren't often planned in Sheffield, they just kind of happens! You've reminded me to go and have a look at some more AW Lambs!

Exposed pin...

Hidden pin....

I've never had a bad cup of coffee in Charlie's, he has an expensive machine, monitors every aspect of it, and even adjust it depending on the weather. Most of his regulars are Italian espresso drinkers, and they don't look like guys you want to disappoint, if you get my meaning!

Love those covers Steve

It's going to be a cold one down at the market, down in the mid to high 20's, snow, and wind I'll just have to make sure I'm not downwind of Tool Man! Going to be wrapping up for certain, and my frozen fingers might need a Big 'Un Have a good day Guardians

I walked away from the computer and now I don't think what I was going to add to this is very interesting.

Love this image Jer. Toffee wings rules.

Your collection is wonderful Dwight. Another great example!!

Many thanks Paul.

Boss is on the trail today.

And an impressive trail boss he is.

but he's frightened to answer his phone at home in case his missus disapproves

I don't understand? Is this the same guy who is so unreliable?

Senator Rose today, with an old folk art cane that's been in my family for years.

Fantastic cane!

Good Morning Guardians

Love this shadow-lamb.

Thank you Dwight. The Kenya is very smooth. My wife says it has great flavor. I can't taste specifics...lost my senses of taste and smell about 15 years ago. Docs have no idea why.

Your fine lamb looks so natural in that setting.
