Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[SteveC]

Steve!!! wow!!! love every single one - great trio!! ( ever so slightly envious here )

Thanks buddy !

Have fun Steve, that's very handsome ebony

Thanks, it's nice to have two pups in the house

Wow!! I'm glad they made it Steve, and that really is a terrific trio of vintage Lambs Great pics of them too, the condition of them looks incredible I'm not sure about the middle knife, Holborn is an area in London, so possibly a factor or shop? Any idea what the second line says? It's certainly a nice-looking knife Amazing Oates, what a find! Congratulations buddy

Thanks Jack, It's pretty hard to make out that second line but I'll see if I can get a better look today.

Good morning Guardians, I was hoping to meet up with my mate Wolfie this morning, but being locked-out yesterday cost me three hours, and I have too much to catch up with. I also need to stay in for the courier, and I think I have another couple of packages coming too. That courier system is a racket, they didn't turn on time, refused to leave my parcel with my neighbours, and now they're trying to charge me £10 to deliver it, on top of what I've already paid! I was pretty beat last night, after all the extra walking about I'd done. Glad I had friends to help me out Apart from that, I had a pretty good day yesterday, and received a new Lamb in the mail, which I didn't get a chance to photograph. I'll just post a simple indoor pic...

Wow ! congrats Jack

Surgical Instruments? Extra high quality, I think, or at least extra expensive.

Good morning Guardians. Starting the day off with some butter, blueberry preserves, and Italian breast that is toasted. Had some decaf tea to wash it all down too.

Thank you!

Good to see OTW mate

Wow ! congrats Jack

Yeah, it's really a struggle Steve, I've been running all the stock phrases you tend to see on old pocket knives through my head, and nothing seems to match Thank you my friend, it's a beautiful knife

Sounds good Todd, your Charlie Lamb is a beauty

I had a very generous parcel from Jakeywax31 , full of all sorts of goodies, including one of Jeremy sbh06 's fine pocket slips, and his Joseph Rodgers Shadow Lamb! It's a really thoughtful package, and even includes something really special for Tool Man, which he probably doesn't deserve! I'll show that in another thread, but big thanks to Paul for his kindness and generosity

In the last pic I think I see "SURGINSTS" which jives with what y'all have arrived at.

I have been disappointed that you didn't end up with one of the Albers Lambs, so I'm stoked to see this! All Albers look great (online at least - haven't seen one in person yet), but you have a particularly nice one there. Congrats!

Posted in another thread but this is where it belongs...

Cheers, Guardians!

That's some nice stag I wonder if the vendor is supplying it, or if Wright's have found a new source? Looks like you've been busy

Well done, Paul, and congrats Jack! Have a fantastic day, Guardians!

Thanks Tyson, that's very kind of you I was just thinking earlier, 'I wonder how Tyson is?'

Yes indeed he is !

I did a little work on the Baxter Lamb. The pile side cover was missing a couple of chunks of bone and was cracked. I stabilized the cracks and patched the missing bits of bone.

And after







Gave it a sharpen and it's going in my pocket

Hey, nice work Steve

 

[btb01]

Blimey! My day could not have going better, when halfway through a post in the EDC thread, I glanced up to see a courier coming up my path with a package. Still wearing my reading glasses, I ran downstairs to get the door, stepped out to sign for the package, felt a gust of wind, and heard the door close behind me! Not only did I not have my keys, I didn't have my glasses, or more importantly my phone! I was still expecting another parcel, so waited a while, but the guy was late, and for all I knew wasn't going to show. My neighbours were sat out, so I told them the situation, and asked them to take my parcel. Wolfie has my spare keys, but without my phone there was no way to contact him, so dressed in a T-shirt, I walked a mile down to my mate Matt's house, as he has Wolfie's number. When I got to the house, Matt's wife was in, but Matt was at work until 5.00pm. She texted him, and he gave me a call on his wife's phone, when he finished work. Fortunately, he only works about a mile from where Wolfie lives, so he rang Wolfie, and headed round. I walked back home, to learn that for some reason the courier had refused to leave my parcel with my neighbours! I have to eat before 4.30pm, otherwise I get stomach problems, but by now it was after 5.30pm. Fortunately, Matt turned up before too long, and I was finally able to get in, and rustle up something to eat, but now I'm 3-4 hours behind with everything! I won't be making the same mistake in a hurry!

Sounds like quite an ordeal, Jack (and by “ordeal,” I mean, “pain in the…”)

The top one is a Baxter in used condition. Second is in unused condition not sure of the maker, Tang stamp reads Holborn, I think ?

Some great old Lambs, Steve!

Barrett that gem reminds me of the ENORMOUS SHIPPING CONTAINER called the Bill Clinton presidential library!

I always thought of it as more of a fancy single-wide trailer on blocks.

Your Cosimo de Benedetto is super cool, Dwight!

Wow! I’m so glad that you got an Albers Lamb, Jack! Is that the Afzelia Burl?
