No one has checked in for a couple of hours, probably asleep, but we were sliding down the page.

I was typing while you were posting.

Well, I have been following this thread for a little while and find that the lambsfoot knife has really piqued my interest. I finally figured out where to find one. I ordered a Michael May in bog oak, and it just showed up in today’s mail.
First impressions- it appears to be pretty fantastic for the money! I’m used to paying GEC money traditional knives lately, so this seems like a bargain so far. Let me know what you Guardians think of my first lambsfoot!
Thank you!

Congratulations, a fine lamb to begin your adventure.

I like the way the brass and bog oak compliment each other.

That looks like a fine lamb to me! Welcome to the group, there’s always room for another member. If you haven’t already (bold assumption I know) I recommend checking out post #1 of this thread and a few others from Jack on page one. They are loaded with good information.

Thank you sir! Yes, I really like the knife!
I did read through the first few pages of this thread, before skipping ahead! A wealth of knowledge, and a really great group of enthusiasts!
Thank you all for the welcome!

First of all welcome, a very friendly and great group of Forum members here. Your first Lambsfoot, it only matters what you think of it. You like, then that is all that matters. If you do like it, it won't be your last.

cudgee . I have almost broken my thumbnail to a nubbin by now, since I’ve been fiddling with this thing for the last few hours!

The pull is stronger than any other knife I’ve owned- by a good margin!
It’s fairly gritty, and I am doing my due diligence to get the mating surfaces to like each other a little more! Just a couple of drops of oil, and a lot of open and close.
I think that tomorrow I will flush it and re-oil it. (First 3,000 mile oil change)

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome.

That, and use will be of great benefit. It will get better with use. :thumbsup:

BE-utifull! Well done and then some! I have a few of Mr. Mays knives and I’ve been happy with them.

Yesterday was a mixed bag for me. Doctors didn't go well but on the bright side I did get my new glasses, they were supposed to contact me when they were in, I decided to check as it had been 2 weeks and we were at the shopping centre and yep they were there
Oh and I got a coffee ️
