Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Congrats Jack.....well done Tyson and family!👍

What a thoughtful and downright delicious gift, Tyson, way to go!

Thanks a lot guys :)

I called in the market for lunch, on my way to the pub 😋

There was a vintage fair on, quite a few pocket knives, but all junk. I spotted an underpriced ivory page-turner, (underpriced because they didn't know it was ivory), which I'd have bought at one time, but as I can't send it across The Pond anymore, and Stan Shaw can't use it, there didn't seem to be much point. Just sat in the pub waiting for my mates 👍

Really a pretty nice knife, with a respectable-sized blade in a compact handle.
 
Failed to grab your posts here Jack Black Jack Black but the HHB, grub, and gift box of Tyson A Wright Tyson A Wright Hawaiian goodies (not to mention the pint) look like the makings of a fine day start to finish!

So today is my 22 wedding anniversary and my wife got me this and yes it’s already full of my favorite knives. Heading out to dinner to a Japanese steak house. Enjoy your evening everyone. View attachment 2137109

Congrats on the anniversary! Looks like y'all had a nice dinner and surely a good time with good company. :thumbsup:

Good morning guardians...miserable outside🫤
I do hope all of our friends from the south are safe from those passing storms.View attachment 2137580

Hope the day clears up for you! We're too far south to have gotten the bad stuff, so I will echo your sentiment.

Morning Guardians !

Mother nature pulled Aprils fools on us . Rain turned to snow last night and I woke up to 8 inches of heavy snow. :oops:

Lovely Lamb! That's a not-so-nice April joke! I have the reverse problem -- too hot too soon down here... Its funny in that folks up north can't wait for winter to pass and down here by August we can't wait for summer to pass. And here that may be November! :eek:

Have a great Saturday Guardians!
 
I'm just having a veggie sausage roll I picked up from my favourite family-run bakery. They do regular pies and pasties, and the pastry is amazing, but I noticed they did a veggie sausage roll, and thought I'd give it a go. Probably the best I've had, and probably would have been even better if I'd bothered to heat it up :D

I like my coffee strong and dark, but this Highland Roast is like rocket-fuel! :D :thumbsup:

Just turned over the page on the Northern California calendar Mr & Mrs Tyson A Wright Tyson A Wright very kindly sent me :) Sure looks like a beautiful state :) :thumbsup:

Our pleasure, Jack! For they razor, I'm curious - was there much crossover between Sheffield knife firms and razor firms? I know Wilkenson made swords and knives and razor blades, but was that common? Are there some I*XL or A. Wright straight razors out there?
 
Thanks a lot pal! 🤣 You need more Lambsfoot knives :) The video you sent me made my day Barrett :) :thumbsup:

To be fair, I took that happy-birthday-spelled-out-in-knives picture 4 or 5 years ago, and I’ve acquired several great Lambsfoot examples since then. But… I also already have a good handful of them at that time, and somehow none of them made it in the photo.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video, Jack. 🙂

Hope everyone is having a good friday. Late start today being a day off and all. Caught a couple extra zzzzz's this morning. Did see that Jack had a good birthday which is awesome !!!! Will get caught up after I devour these smoked brisket nachos!!!!!! Charlie lamb today.

Looks delicious, Paul!

I must have at least a dozen hipflasks, it's just one of those things you get gifted, or pick up, going through life :D This new one, however, hold half a pint! :D :cool: :thumbsup:

Nice, Jack. I’ve got a couple Stanley flasks. The plastic one isn’t much to look at, but it’s functional. The hinged top opens up for easy filling/cleaning.

Hope everyone is having a good Friday 😎 I've just been watching Fargo (4), I never realised btb01 btb01 and herder lived in such a rough area! 😱😉👍 Few beers, and a fair bit of rum, along the way 😉😁 Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend 😊👍

Oh yah, don’tcha know? 😉🤣

That said, if you’re talking about season 4 of the series, it takes place in Kansas City, which, while still very much the Midwest, is quite a ways from Minnesota.

I like the show, but the way they’re going, season 6 might be set in Yorkshire. 🙄🤣

Congrats! That’s a nice chest, but if it’s already full, you’ll have to get another one to grow into! 😉

I got an old parts cabinet to store knives in several years back. 24 drawers that hold anywhere from 10 to 20 knives (depending on the knives). At the time I thought, “It’ll take me forever to run out room in this thing!” Yeah, about that… 🤣

Well at least it looks nicer (albeit temporarily) than the dirty, half-melted snow that we had left. Wasn’t much fun to shovel, though.

Your postings of this knife have made me think of what a great Lambsfoot it is Jer :) :thumbsup:
Looking at the song book I see "Bold Finian Men" Make me thing of Ken Curtis (before he was Festus) singing this in the John Wayne western "Rio Grande"; also called "Down by the Glenside"

That is SOME singing Paul! :cool: :thumbsup:

I think the same happened with one of your posts in the EDC thread! :rolleyes: Thanks buddy, been a nice day :) :thumbsup:

That's a very intelligent question my friend :) There was a LOT of crossover, but don't forget most firms used a lot of outworkers to produce their knives, and if that was true for their knives, it would certainly have been true for their razors. Wright's were only established in 1947, but Wostenholm razors were famous. Wilkinson had knives, swords, and razors made up by outworkers in Sheffield for many years. Here's a fairly recent pic of a guy grinding their sword blades (badly I have to say!) :thumbsup:

Cool pic Barrett, I bought one of the plastic models, just like that, for an ex-girlfriend :cool: She never used it! :rolleyes: I'll certainly be using mine though :) :thumbsup:

LOL! :D I have to say, I've really enjoyed every single series I've watched, the scripts, the acting, the direction, every moment has been a pleasure to watch :) :thumbsup:

Thanks buddy :) Yeah, really looking forward to those :) :thumbsup:

Hope everyone is having a good day :) I had a really nice afternoon, and am enjoying the light evenings here :) :thumbsup:
 
Dawn and the dogs and me (and the Hartshead Barlow) all hiked around in Del Paso Regional Park this morning. 624 acres of wild space, in the middle of suburbia about a mile and a half from our house. It's a beautiful Northern California day.

Wonderful package Jack! Very thoughtful of you Tyson.

Thanks for sharing that Sceva. Ole Festus could really sing.

Arkansas (and many others) had some tense moments yesterday. Little Rock was hit hard but loss of life was minimal considering the damage. Tornado season is upon us.

Have a great weekend.

So glad to have you check in and report all is well with you. Praying for those affected, though.

Superb knife masterfully presented!
