Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good morning Guardians, I hope that everyone is doing well, and that your week has been a good one. The weeks seem to fly by for me, and I can't believe that we're already halfway through September. After yesterday's pleasant weather here, it's raining again today, and also quite cold. It'll be time to get my winter woollens out again soon, but hopefully we'll get a few sunny days before then :) Have a good Friday Guardians :thumbsup:

I was just talking to my mate, Wolfie, on the phone, and he told me that, last night, his youngest lad, Idris, had mentioned me last night. Apparently, he has decided to build a bug-out bag, and asked his dad, "When is Jack Black going to give me a knife?"! :oops: Sorry Idris, I'll be right round! :rolleyes: :D To be fair, I've given his older brother and sister knives, but in the case of the eldest, Amos, his mum and dad, asked me if he could have a knife for his birthday, (he's since had a few more), and a couple of years later, Ripley asked me if she could have a knife for her birthday. In the case of Idris, he's never mentioned knives, and when I've asked what he wants for his birthday, he's always asked for something else (think it was a slingshot last year). He doesn't have a birthday due, but I've told his dad to bring him round, since you never know when he might need his bug-out bag ;)

Here's Amos, a couple of years after getting his first knife. He's about 14 now! :D

I'm off to see my dentist this afternoon. I haven't had this one long, but she's leaving apparently, so I have a gift for her too. It's a 19th century tongue depressor :D

Thanks mate, I used to see a lot more of the kids when they were younger, and take them out walking, catapulting, fire-lighting, navigating, knot-tying, etc. Wolfie tries, but the first time he took Amos camping, they had to drive for pizza, as he couldn't get the gas stove lit! :D :thumbsup:

No doubt David :rolleyes: When it gets to the weekend, I'll have a look on YouTube, see if he's cropped up on there yet! :rolleyes: :D Nice blue :) :thumbsup:

Fantastic pic Steve :cool: :thumbsup: It still amazes me just how fast Sheffield cutlers took to the Lambsfoot pattern, and how many produced it :cool: :thumbsup:

Welcome to the Guardians good sir :) How are you finding the pattern? :thumbsup:

Thank you. I love the pattern. The swayback is easily my favorite handle and I naturally am thrilled with the lambsfoot blade given my affinity to wharncliffes. With the more stout tip I can see myself actually preferring it over a wharncliffe.

Nice shot Jer 😎👍

I needed a filling, so a needle, and a bit of drilling, but the corner of my mouth is only slightly numb 😁 Sadly, not only is my dentist leaving, but also the nurse, and the practice manager. Doesn't bode well, but we had a good laugh anyway, and they all have other jobs to go to 🙂 I think the people in the waiting room must wonder what on earth is going on, when they hear me laughing and joking when I open the door after my appointment! 😁 I hadn't had a coffee, or any lunch, so I've headed to Charlie's 😉👍
