Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Are you sure instead of a hotel you didn't book one of those panic escape rooms?
LOL! 🤣 I managed to get back to my room relatively quickly this evening, in part because the restaurant I ate at was on the way here 🙄👍
Well, after purchasing and using my first Lambsfoot knife from Sheffield in bog oak I realized what all of the fuss is about. What a lovely blade! Great for a variety of uses. This is a picture of my first getting ready for some real hard use! 🤣

So, I decided to pick up another one. This time from A Wright with stag scales and the fancy filed backspring! What a looker!! 😍 (In my opinion)

Thanks for letting me share the pics, and thanks for the warm welcome that I have received from all of you here! I just might have another coming from Santa... 😁
Congratulations Joe 😊👍
Òh a toolman doppelganger don't say it is so!
El Hombre de Herramientas! 🤣 He'll be munching down on a jamon sandwich! 🤣
Really full blades on that one, by the look of it Steve, great pic 😊👍
Excuse my absence, Guardians. I am the newest one in my department so that means I’m working while everyone is on holiday vacation. Nothing new going on around here. I did finish my Christmas shopping though 😃. Got the Horn lamb in the pocket today.

AH, the corporate way, the rule that they all bow at the alter too. Cut costs to increase profit, the quality has no bearing on it. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
And so went the Sheffield cutlery industry ☹️

I hope everyone is doing well, and getting ready for Christmas 😊 Turned out I was booked in at the Asian Fusion restaurant tonight, rather than the Italian one!.😁 It was ok, but the food in the main restaurants is nice enough and I could have eaten at 5pm, rather than 8.30pm 🙄 After I ate, I just went back to my room to read my book, and have an early night 👍
 
Wow ! A couple of stunners !
Thanks buddy.
Wowsers - what's the story with those beauties?
Thank you. Just a couple of homely SFO's our friend Jack had made out of desert ironwood. 😁
Thanks a lot buddy, wonderful photo there
Gracias my traveling friend.
Looks like a tasty lunch, Mitch! :thumbsup: Festive shot of your TEW, too! 🎄



I’m glad your mom had a great birthday, Rachel. Sorry to hear about the covid, and very sorry to hear about Echo. 🙁



Glad you were able to find it, Steve! :thumbsup::thumbsup: That’s wild that it was still there perched on the branch!



Glad you were able to help the old feller out. I thought for a second you were going to say he hadn’t known all his friends and family would be there, and he was in the bathroom avoiding them. 😁



Very cool knife, Steve! 😎 I’ve certainly never seen anything quite like it.

Busy weekend here. Had to haul two TVs to be recycled on Saturday morning, then go buy a new TV and try to finish up some Christmas shopping. Most of today was spent tidying up and tackling a few other tasks around the house. (Still not quite finished on that front, but I’ve still got a few days before family starts showing up.)

Winding down now with Christmas movie and a nightcap.

Blades are tight with great snap. The Bone is dark but really comes to life in the sunlight.

Just incredible Steve. The jigging is as good as it gets. Don't know how you find these.
 
Good morning Guardians

Today I'll be carrying the last of the three vintage Lambs recently acquired.

This is another G. Butler & Co. and another two blader.

The stag on this one is pocket worn silky smooth.

Another jewel. Ya gotta wonder how that bone can be so worn when the blades look untouched!
From Reception, you walk anticlockwise around the central tower, go to a set of lifts, and descend 2 floors. You then walk clockwise around the tower, walk down a long corridor, take a right fork, which slopes uphill, turn right, and right again, to find a hidden elevator, descend 3 floors, turn right, and walk down another long corridor to my room at the end. Now, there is actually an elevator almost next to my room, which I've used a couple of times to descend to one of the pool areas, and it's a much quicker way to get to Reception. However, when I tried to come back that way, I found the elevator did not have a floor 3, it was numbered from 7 to 12, which, since it's a low level hotel, is kind of crazy!
Wait... What? :oops: I hope you don't have a fire in that maze Jack!
 
Does anyone no if the ramshorn handles that come from A Wright are special order,the sight mainly lists few kinds of wood the odd stag.yet I see alot of people with that clear looking ramshorn,,eventually in the new year I will have better communication with them, but trying to envision my order.or do they even do ramshorn anymore, and that is something only taylors eye witness does.

Can you please make sure you have read post #1 👍👍 Happy to answer any questions regarding ordering by PM. With regard to Wright's, they have made knives with oxhorn. I seem to recall some mentions ramshorn in relation to Wright's, which surprised me as they've always previously refused to use it. They're not shy about making substitutions in my experience 🙄 TEW have used ramshorn for many years, though in it's polished state it would be hard to differentiate 👍

Good morning Guardians! 🙂👍

Fuelled by beans on toast, I set off early to walk to the market at the Rubicon Marina a couple of miles away. There didn't seem to be too much to it, so I walked on, all the way to the Playa Blanca port, where I got a taxi back. I took a load of photos with my camera, but only a few with my phone, and the three I took of Wee Staggy are all out of focus! 😖

Along the way, I had a strange encounter with a couple of Spanish lads in their late teens, I would guess, outside one of the Rubicon shopping centres. They hailed me in Spanish, addressing me as amigo, which seemed a little strange considering our age difference. After I spoke to them, they asked if I was English, and when I said yes, they both threw their arms up, saying "Yay! That's what we like! We love the English!" Then, they both shook my hand very warmly, wished me a good day in Spanish, and went off chatting excitedly! I thought maybe they had had a bet on my nationality or something! 😁

No shortage of English people at Playa Blanca, which is a lot more touristy than where I'm staying. I did think about having lunch, but they were still serving breakfast at 12! 😁 Just going to eat now 😉 Have a good day everyone 👍
