Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[cudgee]

Beans, chips, pie, the Yorkshire trinity!

That can't be a legit pie, not if your off meat. But looking good anyway. . Great minds and all that, just about to have some beans for lunch, no meat in beans.

had a vanilla slice in the market,

That is a good looking Vanilla slice, i'm off those as well.

So I've carried the HHB every day since I received it from Jack Black and I've decided that I will carry it every day until Lacey gets paroled from the Cone of Shame (probably at her vets visit on the 30th). (And I may keep on carrying it after that, too!)

But here's my conundrum: I'm currently carrying it in the wool slip that came with it. But this means that whatever other knife I'm carrying ends up doing most of the work, because I don't have time to fiddle around with a pocket slip. (This is why I normally never carry knives in slips.)

And I usually like the slightly scratched-up bolsters that come with dumping the knife in a pocket with keys and pen and another knife and whatnot.

But I have hesitated to do that to the HHB - it feels too pretty and fancy for that. So I'd be interested in the Guardians' thoughts on this. Do I keep it in a slip and keep it pretty but rarely used? Or do I just throw it in my pocket and put it to work, and enjoy the bolster patina that tells my story with this knife?

Went from seeing grass in the yard finally after 5 months to a white yard again. Ugh, well it’s spring right? Trying my hand at a lamb for the next project.

Tyson A Wright I’m not a keep it new kinda guy I work my knives. I have a few guys with some of mine that I made and they don’t use them I just don’t get it.

I personally use a slip but sounds like your a no slip kind of guy Tyson. I say go for it and use it like your accustomed to using your knives. Of course just my measly two cents.

 

[Jack Black]

Reubens for lunch. Pretty good and hit the spot.

Looks delicious Paul

This little guy was in the mailbox from the UK. Smallest A. Wright so far in the flock. Was hoping to get heavy streaking in the horn but will just be thankful that there is some. Interesting that the curve on the handle is a lot more pronounced on this example. The blade spine angles down steeper as well. Anyway, happy to have it.

Horn looks good buddy

Happy to report everything went well with the surgery and we are back home relaxing. Thanks for the well wishes friends.

That's great news

Love that Unity lamb Jack.

Thanks Dwight

That looks delicious Jack. I'm not much of a sweets eater but I might make an exception for that.

It was definitely a treat, cost me almost as much as a loaf!

Fantastic photo of your DamLamb Dwight, you really captured both the stag and the Damascus Cool hobo coin, and Stripe of course!

I fell hopelessly behind with this thread last week while I was out of town for work. Back at the office today.

Good to have you back Jeremy

Well, let's see Jeremy....we saw some stupendous knives displayed, many are on weight watchers from seeing Jack's and others favorite foods and many are waiting for spring to come.
Good to see your lamb.

My evening lamb...View attachment 2124128

Cool pic Bob, that's some handsome jigging

Thanks Jack
Glad to hear your sciatica improved. Did it get better on its own, or did you finally get some form of treatment?

Thanks buddy, I'm afraid I just had to ride it out It'll come back at some point I'm sure, just hope it's not when I'm on vacation

It's made from minced vegans! They're tasty! So good, I might keep eating them!

That is a good looking Vanilla slice, i'm off those as well.

Blimey, you are being abstemious Leon!

If the slip is stopping you using it, just throw it in your pocket Tyson, you won't break it! Those slips are made from some vintage Yorkshire tweed older than me!

Good morning Guardians, hope your week got off to a good start. Another day, another dollar! Have a good one Guardians

You don't mind if i pass do you???

Honestly mate, it's as good as my regular Pukka pie

Cool pic Bob, that's some handsome jigging


Good morning Jack...I do enjoy the older jigging.
I'm with you, throw it in your pocket, unless there is a fragile coat on it.

Nah, leave me out.

Charlie actually want a different Sheffield style for his Lambsfoot, but I think GEC did a great job in replicating another common old Sheffield jigging pattern

I like a pocket slip myself, but mainly because it keeps the knife upright in my pocket, whereas otherwise it would fall horizontally. It may take fractionally longer to get my knife out, but it's not often I'm in a hurry, and it gives me the opportunity to admire the fine quality slips I've been gifted, such as the one made by JohnDF , which homes my Hartshead Barlow

My mistake in my early morning reading.

My mistake in my early morning reading.

Not at all Bob, if I didn't like pocket slips, I'd feel fine about just dropping my Hartshead Barlow straight in my pocket, I don't baby it at all

Called in Charlie's on my way to the post office

That croissant looks sinfully delicious Jack.

Horn looks good buddy

The horn lamb lasted one day. It is currently in a padded envelope getting ready to be sent to a fellow Guardian.

That's great news

Thank you Jack .

Good morning Guardians, hope your week got off to a good start. Another day, another dollar! Have a good one Guardians

You as well friend. Hope you have a great day planned.

Called in Charlie's on my way to the post office

Ever since joining this forum, I have noticed that my post office visits have increased about 1000% . I feel like I go there every other day. Looks delicious!! Great way to start the day Jack.

This is called tuning the world out...
I still find it hard to believe there are 12 speakers ( armatures) in each ear piece.

What are those Bob? Sweet lamb today.
