Good morning Guardians!
Hey Jack, the symmetry on that stag is awesome. It doesn't set off my CDO
Jack Black
! That dark stag looks very fine.
I certainly agree, Dave.Thanks, Gary
Wow, that is a super-detailed replica, FBC!!Many thanks, GT. That is the motor for a Ferrari 312T model kit that I started more than 10 years ago. Thought it might be time I started working to finish it.
Super lookin' AC!
Thanks for the stag lambsfoot props. It IS the Guardians thread, and the standards are elevated here; I always wonder how I managed to gain admission!...
Certainly not words you see every day, but this is the Guardians thread after all!
...
Here's a couple of pics of my duumvirate from yesterday
...
Jack, you should put together a multimedia presentation of your photos of knives and water, accompanied by Handel's Water Music! I think you're right about the uniformly superior quality of this Ashley's Choice run, Ron!...
Thanks GT!

Yesterday was not a normal Saturday for me! I didn’t even pocket a knife!I won’t bore you with the details but summarize as saying for now all is well. On this Sunday morning I’m thankful for a lot of things. This is definitely not the most important, but I am very thankful for this AC!
(but that "for now" in your cryptic remarks about an abnormal Saturday seems kind of ominous 
).Congrats on the stag lambsfoot heading your way, Joshua; you'll have quite a varied flock with your wood, micarta, and stag versions!
Captivating comparison, @herder!Great pictures from everyone!!!
Here is a picture showing a comparison of two stag handled Lambsfoot models with about 100 years between them. A Joseph Elliot on the left, with a new Wright on the right.
Both are sitting on a wonderful Yorkshire history book courtesy of Jack, although Jack knows well more than is told in the book.

Both are lovely lambsfoots! Another pleasing pic of your ACL, Jack!I have a rather busy week coming upI am starting off tomorrow with a trip to the post office, and then I am going over to Huddersfield, and one of the small mill towns located nearby. I won't be seeing wither ADEE or ScruffUK unfortunately, but I hope to catch up with an old friend at some point
I hope your busy week is productive and enjoyable. Thanks, Joshua.
Thanks again, Jack....
I remembered about your bubble-wrap slip just as I was packaging up your AC my friend, and couldn't bear the thought of you having to do the same again!I figured that, for those who wear jeans, it was designed to slip inside the front pocket, at the outside of the leg, with the clip holding it in place, so the knife is held above other pocket contents, and the knife can just be pulled out, with the slip left in place. Glad you're having fun with it anyway, cool pics
...
I may try to find several slips with clips to wear simultaneously on my suspenders and make your dream of me with knife bandoliers across my chest come true! Fetching portrait of your new stag lambsfoot, Ron!The blade etch says “Real Lamb Foot”! It should have said “Real Nice Lamb Foot”!
Thanks!

I think it must have been cut a long time ago It IS the Guardians thread, and the standards are elevated here; I always wonder how I managed to gain admission!
Another couple of excellent pics of your lambsfoots with watery backgrounds.
). Perhaps one day Another pleasing pic of your ACL, Jack!
I have a Physio appointment in the morning, then two meetings in different parts of West Yorkshire, a trip to the post office, and various other things, so I think tomorrow will be another hectic day Thanks again, Jack.
You know, if didn't feel so wonky half the time, I would actually be tempted to pick up a back roads bike.It sure is a nice one Ron
Nice to see the Pile side
Nobody seems to use really dark stag, as they did at one time. I keep meaning to ask Wright's if they will make me a couple up with these old scales I was gifted by @ADEE
Thank you my friend
Looking good Joshua
I am going to paw my AC a lot with greasy hands!

Another great photo of yours
Fetching portrait of your new stag lambsfoot, Ron!
I’m sorry if I’ve confused you about my Saturday but let’s just leave it at that!
I received this humble beauty today! Many thanks to Jack! I promptly took it on a quick hike.
Hope you had a good hike
That’s a great looking Rosewood and photo. Very nice grain and colors. I’m hope you enjoy it!I received this humble beauty today! Many thanks to Jack! I promptly took it on a quick hike.
Thanks Ron. I’m sure I will, it’s a terrific knife.That’s a great looking Rosewood and photo. Very nice grain and colors. I’m hope you enjoy it!
Thanks again Jack! I did have a good hike, on the last summer-like day before the remnants of Florence arrive tomorrow.That's a great pic my friend, that 'humble' rosewood looks pretty good, particularly with the polished blade
Congrats on the RosewoodI received this humble beauty today! Many thanks to Jack! I promptly took it on a quick hike.
I am partial to RW model It feels lighter in weight and does the job.
Very nice Greg, enjoy.
I was fortunate to receive mine today as well. The fit and finish is outstanding and the tang stamp is wonderfully crisp.
Thanks for shepherding these Jack!
I know 25 years plus, it snows here nine months of the year.Yeah, I sometimes think about getting a bike again, but there are precious few back roads here, and it rains nine months of the year!
Edit - And it's 25 years since I last rode one!
