Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[bigfish64]

Friday afternoon off, always a good idea!

Totally agree Jack. It was a nice relaxing afternoon as a box of my favorite cigars showed up in the mail a day early.

Good morning Guardians, I better go and get scrubbed and shaved, as time is rapidly marching on! I'm meeting my mate Matt in Charlie's, and then later, we're meeting up with Wolfie's brother, who we call Brother Tony, for a couple of pints. Hopefully I'll get to hear more tales about his errant 'Father in Law'! Have a great weekend everyone

Nice looking Rodgers Jack. Sounds like you have a nice afternoon planned.

Fortunately, the Midwest snow is hitting 50+° weather here. So heavy rain and wind, but no shoveling.View attachment 2455568

Great looking Kroo Bob. Are you guys expecting the blast of frigid air in your parts? We are getting it now.

Wind chills are making it -30F in Montana and Wyoming…

Your lamb is mostly so I think you have nothing to worry about, Bob.

Hi Todd, we are actually warming up. Temps are heading into mid 50's with 25 mph winds. So minor flooding is expected.
Glad to hear you are having a slightly extended weekend.

Time to blow the snow. It will be 8:30 by the time I start the old monster up.

Toffee is sparkling today Jer. Snow removal is one thing I do not miss.

I hope I haven't let it get too deep. It's still pretty warm, though. I won't need my widdle snow suit.

Thanks Jeremy, one of my favorites.

I'm glad I'm an east coast boy hearing about those temps.

It looks beautiful from afar, but I know the labors ahead.
Hope you can finish quickly Jer without any aches.

Almost forgot to mention that my Albers Lambfoot knife is due in large part to @JRRsix7 and his generosity. Thank you Jason!View attachment 2454554

If I'm following the definitional discussion correctly, we're saying that to be a Lambsfoot (and eligible for posting in this thread) the knife has to have been identified by its maker as a lambsfoot.

This doesn't seem quite right to me, and I've got two hypotheticals that highlight my concerns.

1) imagine Böker, infamous for calling everything a Barlow, deciding to call a sheepsfoot knife a lambsfoot. They even stamp "real lamb foot" on the blade. I'm reasonably sure that we would all object to that being posted here - the maker's marketing would be insufficient to qualify as a true lambsfoot.

2) imagine Case creating a replica of an A. Wright lamb but marketing it to its American customers as a sheepsfoot. Would we really exclude that from consideration here because the marketing folks are confused? That would also seem incorrect to me.

Nice! I love to see signs that a knife is being used as it should be.

Looks like the Minnesota winter has finally arrived! Cool shot Paul

It has stopped snowing thank goodness. I like all four seasons and glad my kids get to experience it. The trick is to get them to shovel and think it’s fun.

I have to introduce them to minimum wage fast.

The fun will wear off and I will have to dust off the Sergeant Paul voice eventually

I have seen numerous custom makers attempt the lambsfoot and call it a lambsfoot and clearly be a sheepsfoot. Sometimes it is difficult to tell.
