Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Love the old knives and you show them well Dwight.
Thanks Bob. Hope you had a good day on the links.
Thank you Dwight and what a magnificent Barlow lambfoot.
Thank you Pete!
Thanks Dwight! Always love your images, so thoughtfully composed. Your coins are always interesting too
Many thanks for the kind words my friend.

Oh yeah, I'd eat that any day of the week! Beautiful lamb to boot. :cool:

I came across this box of Lambsfoot knives at the Badger knife show this weekend and asked Barrett, Todd, and Paul if they were interested in one.
At $10.00 a piece or all five for $40.00 I thought that was a pretty good deal. They all passed, so I bought the lot. :)

Where do I send the check? Happy to covering shipping too. :p:D Super herd!

Despite my vegetarian Lent, I'm still very wary about fake meat products, the burgers I had were impressive, along with the pies, but I've steered clear of some of the other things I've seen on sale. However, this fake chicken was on offer, and I thought I'd give it a try. More expensive than chicken ounce for ounce I reckon! :rolleyes:

The strangest thing about this stuff is that, when you open the pack, it does smell a bit like raw chicken! But that's not a smell I enjoy! The colour of the product also matches that of chicken, but I don't think you'd actually confuse it with chicken. I seasoned it with black pepper, and Ghost Grill Seasoning, and fried it in a little toasted sesame oil. It browned like I would expect chicken to do, but didn't really give off much of a smell.

The texture, when cooked, is vaguely like chicken, as is the flavour, but not good chicken. It doesn't flake or crumble like chicken, and the flavour is more like the sort of processed, reconstituted chicken you might find in a MacDonald's or something. It worked very well as an addition to a Vegetable Dhansak (with spicy rice), but I think I would have enjoyed the curry just as much without it. It was OK, but not something I really enjoyed.

Secret ingredients gifted to me by @Reaper AL and @btb01 :) :thumbsup:

There was a time where a meal without meat was a foreign concept to me, but we have been doing "meatless Monday" for years now. I like meat, don't get me wrong, but it is not necessary every single meal in my opinion. All of that to say, I'm with you on this -- the rice and veges could stand on their own. Looks good in any case! :thumbsup:

Gorgeous! What's that coin on the right?


Have a great end to the weekend, Guardians!
 
Good morning Guardians, hope everyone returning from the Badger show had a safe journey home, with happy thoughts, friendships cemented, and maybe a little new pointy treasure in your pocket ;) Enjoy the rest of your weekend, like the rest of us who were not able to attend :) Our clocks went forward last night, which coincided badly with my night out, meaning I didn't get in until 2.30am :eek: It was nice to see my friend Matt, and his family, though he fell asleep 10 minutes into our second film! :D I called a taxi at that point! ;) Pretty dull outdoors today, and I have no plans, other than trying to catch up with 'The Catch Bit Show', and maybe a bit of housework. Struggling to kick my Hartshead Barlow out of my pocket, so I'm going to treat myself to a Double Lambsfoot Day! :D Have a good Sunday Guardians :) :thumbsup:

That would have to be the deal of the Century 🤣

Edit: What is the Jigged Brown Bone example Herder?
 
I have been real slack at taking photo's lately - my I phone has a brilliant Camera on it- but I dropped it and broke the lenses out of the Camera!

It still take "ok" photo's - but have been wanting to catch up with my carrying of my grand Lambsfoot as its done a couple of months of hard work - what's really disappointing is I was oiling the joints the other night and the very tip- the smallest tiniest tip seems to be just a peek bent- you can just feel it with your finger - I will sharpen that up in a few days time!!
 
Great to see one of the 27 ACs Dwights :cool: You take a great pic my friend :) :thumbsup:
Blimey, this year is moving FAST! :eek: Cool pic Jer :) :thumbsup:

That's interesting Michael :col: I grew up in a house where most meals were meat and ONE veg! :D THere are a lot of options out there, and I think I could live without the fake meat. We didn't get always get meat when I lived in the Middle East, but when we had any, the food was good :) I'll definitely be making another visit to the Tunisian stall in the market :) :thumbsup:

It's great to see you here pal, how are things going with rebuilding there, are folks managing to get back on their feet? That's bad news about your phone camera :( And your Lambsfoot! :eek: Hope it's OK my friend :) :thumbsup:
 
I did indeed Dwight. Nice stag lamb
👍
Gorgeous! What's that coin on the right?
Thanks Michael. It is an East India Company coin. Here's the flip side of it and the knife.B8CEC508-970F-4A38-8460-105FF5294A3E_1_201_a.jpeg

I'm still very wary about fake meat products,
For a start it is a complete misnomer that they can call something that comes off a production line out of a factory " Meat ". And when you read some of the ingredients in this stuff, not for me i'm afraid. I may have told you about my friend who is a Strength and Conditioning Trainer but where she excels from the rest is her knowledge of nutrition and diet, she's the best i have been told by people that would know and one of her sayings is " If It Doesn't Grow Or Make Love - Don't Eat It ". I have cleaned that up for a family friendly forum. 🥰 🥰 🥰 ;). Have a good week. :thumbsup:

You good looking Devil you, Jack you must have been ( and probably still are I would say ) extremely fit my friend - not worried about the Camera - the Lambsfoot will be fine- I just don't want to introduce any unnecessary scratches by eliminating the tip burr.
I will try to catch it in a photo.....

Here is my neat Lambsfoot, I absolutely love the Grain of this Wood- just gorgeous- and it pops in the bright natural Sunlight! ...

Here is the tip - it wont take much but this Knife is such a Razor- A real pleasure to carry and I will touch up the edge as I am going to have a EDC rotation so I am sure my Hartshead will be coming out for some action!

You can see why I am not taking many photos these days with my bung Camera!
