I'm off to York today, got a few things I need to pick up from a hardware store there
Jack, I'm thinking the ebony stowaway is a wee bit jealous of the Ashely, that's why he snuck onboard.Halfway to York, I discovered I had a stowaway riding along in my pocket!

JACK the Big Un has seen a lot of duty since you acquired it.Had to go Big for melon!
It's the Lambsfoot you didn't know you needed.
Bam-Ba-Lamb!!Betty
Such a tasty, toasty stag lambsfoot, Ron!Gary if you’re not careful someone is going to accuse you of being all Jacked Up!
...
This wee Sambar is not Ashley’s, but I think it’s still Choice!
Thanks for the praise, Jack....
Great name, an excellent post, and a splendid knife GT
...
Found myself carrying these two today
)! Do you have several pics of knives with the railroad tracks stretching out behind them? I had a real sense of deja vu, and this chorus ran through my head too:Great rosewood pic, Taylor!View attachment 988812
Really enjoying this Lambsfoot. ThanksJack Black for being an ambassador for a great pattern!
Makes me want to show off mine :
Best prize I ever found in a Crackerjack!Cracker Jack. Perfect!
I suppose the super useful lambsfoot blade is its prize inside?
(Actually, those little magnifying plastics were awfully cool too! )That LDS temple has distinctive architecture; thanks for the pics, David!...
A cycle ride out to the temple of The Latter Day Saints in Chorley in the county of Lancashire yesterday along the Leeds-Liverpool canal....
...
Is that supposed to be modeled after Solomon's temple as described in the Bible?I admire your one-of-a-kind lambs foots, Joshua!
I know what you mean about living on the flora/fauna border!Any duller and I'd be a plant GT!
While I know Sambar stag varies, it has parameters, but horn??!
Thank you very much my friend
Superb pic
Good looking Cracker Jack GT-
Thanks for the positive reactions to my photo, Dwight & Dave & Ron; much appreciated!Thank you my friend!
Congrats on the arrival of your big rosewood model (and its fetching soapdish...
It's quite a nice soapdish, thanks Jack. Tighter than my old Baker St tube station one.
Here are all the Wrighteous Brothers.
), Jer! I didn't realize the Wrighteous Bros was a quality quartet!! I imagine those knives must be your soul and your heart's inspiration, all you've got to get you by. Probably they're even your reason for laughin', for cryin', for livin', and for dyin'.
I'm pole-axed by the pile side, Ron; what a stunner!Have a great Friday Guardians!
Congrats on that bundle of joy, Charlie!!At last!! Notification to pick up the package from Leeds!!
Well packaged package indeed!! My big'un did the honors, so goes along for the ride!!
I bought some extras for my fellow club members. I must bring the word Lambsfoot to this part of North America!!
Jack kindly included a RED Horn model to enhance my Hornswoggled collection!!
Thanks for everything Jack!!

What-a-Knife! What-a-Burger!Just tucking into a tasty burger
)I had to Google "Crystal Shanda Leer". I'd heard the name several times before, and thought it was probably an urban legend, maybe the name of the girl who, with her boyfriend, fled Lovers' Lane and later found a hook hanging from the door handle of the car. But it turns out that Bill Lear, of LearJet fame (and inventor of the 8-track tape and founder of Motorola) named one of his daughters Shanda!That’s hilarious. I'm sure Alan was disappointed as a kid, but I can think of plenty of situations as an adult where I'd prefer being named Alan instead of Righteous.
Growing up, my friend's mom was a secretary at a local elementary school. At the beginning of each school year, she'd tell us about new students with unusual names. My favorites (or at least, the best ones I remember) were Crystal Shanda Leer, and a set of twins name Chinacat and Steppenwolf.
(Whether her first name was Crystal seems debatable. )Hang in there!
Looking forward to pics of your lambsfoot(s?) when it (they?) arrive! I like the new avatar, too! Is that Maureen O'Hara? Hubba Hubba!!! Although Ashley apparently had a choice about the design of the ACLs, sometimes we have NO CHOICE, like Jack, and MUST go big!Had to go Big for melon!
Guardians of the Lambsfoot! My fellows!JACK the Big Un has seen a lot of duty since you acquired it.
Lol!Such a tasty, toasty stag lambsfoot, Ron!
And you're right about my Cracker Jack (and all my other lambsfoot jacks) having me jacked up!
I'm pole-axed by the pile side, Ron; what a stunner!
Cracker Jack all week for me:
Thanks Gary! The pile side of your Ashley’s Choice is mighty fine my friend!
Stay strong GT- stay strong my friend.Guardians of the Lambsfoot! My fellows!
I see in your eyes the same desire that would take the heart of me!
A day may come when I buy a Big Rosewood, when I forsake my fiscal principles and break all bonds of budget. But it is not this day!
An hour of lambsfoots and shattered discipline when my Paypal account comes crashing down! But it is not this day!
This day I fight the urge! By all that I hold dear on this good Earth, I must stand firm, with your support, Guardians!
You know you want one! 
JACK the Big Un has seen a lot of duty since you acquired it.
Perhaps so my friend, I am certainly enjoying putting it to work, even works well for sparking a ferro rod! I'm certainly not going to baby the Big 'Un 
Thanks for the praise, Jack.
Cool pics (although I haven't thought about valve springs in decades
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, he's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone…
I do, and most of the recent ones are taken at the same place. Tracks are generally fenced in here, and if I tried to take a pic like that in a lot of railway stations, there'd be a SWAT team on me before I could say 'What the ...'! I have some regular business at the Unesco World Heritage Site of Saltaire, which just has two platforms. While I'm waiting for the train, I generally walk the few yards to the end of the platform and snap a pic of whatever is in my pocket I know what you mean about living on the flora/fauna border!
Thanks for the attention you paid to my ramblings.
Although Ashley apparently had a choice about the design of the ACLs, sometimes we have NO CHOICE, like Jack, and MUST go big!
Dwight, I'm just messing around, having been looking for a good opportunity to adapt Aragorn's "But it is not this day" speech to the troops at the Black Gate.Alas...would that you had spoken sooner...
When
dc50
mentioned that Jack's big rosewood was "the Lambsfoot you didn't know you needed", I thought that was my chance to talk about how I sometimes have to defer gratification! 
Ordered only one, but there will be more. Need ebony and rosewood for sure.Hang in there!
You are too kind my friend. My post left too much to the imagination and for that I am sorry. I knew you were joking and I love the prose! Was implying that your warning of impending paypal implosion was too late for MEDwight, I'm just messing around, having been looking for a good opportunity to adapt Aragorn's "But it is not this day" speech to the troops at the Black Gate.

as I all too often succumb to the sirens of cutlery.
Shades of Henry V!Guardians of the Lambsfoot! My fellows!
I see in your eyes the same desire that would take the heart of me!

Oh, yes.Congrats on the arrival of your big rosewood model (and its fetching soapdish
No need for YOU to apologize, Dwight, when MY perceptual difficulties are the heart of the problem!You are too kind my friend. My post left too much to the imagination and for that I am sorry. I knew you were joking and I love the prose! Was implying that your warning of impending paypal implosion was too late for ME
To echo Dave's encouragement - Stay strong my friend!!
By the time Saturday afternoon rolls around, I don't have much imagination to leave stuff to. Sometimes those of us who would be king spend too much time on rousing speeches to inspire the troops instead of actually listening to what people are saying.
I am hoping to find time to do some sharpening myself today. I've been impressed with how long the Big Un has kept an edge, but I can put a better one on it so it is on my 'To Do' list Hope everyone is having a good weekend, and enjoy your Sunday folks
