Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Rufus1949]

I'm blown away by that pairing Dwight.

 

[Jack Black]

Glad you're enjoying your Pal !

I sure am Steve

Good morning Guardians.

Getting ready for a winter storm to come through. I don't expect we'll get more than 5 inches of snow and hopefully less.


Small Horn Lamb today

I hope there's no damage buddy, that's some handsome horn

The Janesville knife show was great fun by itself, but hanging out with knife friends made it immeasurably better!!!
A strong contingent of Guardians were represented, and a bit (quite a bit) of bourbon was consumed on Friday night while playing some of the best music in recorded history.
Thanks to Barrett, Todd, Paul, Harry, Jeff, Greg, and others for making this show such a wonderful experience.

Shown is a Barber Lamb Foot knife sitting on a leather slip from Barrett to commemorate the show.

Does anyone have a play list?

Afternoon Guardians! Cool, strong wind and sprinkling a bit of rain OMJ standing guard today.

Very handsome David

Thanks, Jack. We usually don’t get quite that early a start, but there was snow forecast the whole way down to Janesville, so we decided to give ourselves a little extra time.

Sounds like a good idea my friend

We definitely had a great time! And don’t worry, it was an American-sized vehicle, in which a person of size like myself could comfortable sit in the back seat without my knees being crammed into the back of the front seat.

Great news!

You know a knife has a strong spring if it gives you trouble, Jack!

I can only ever recall not being able to open two knives, and they both came from the same firm, in the past few years! Maybe I'm getting old

Good afternoon Guardians! Took the pup out for a walk, and had these 2 in my pockets…

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and that you all had a great weekend. It's cold and wet here again in Yorkshire My week should be easier than last week's hopefully I need to go into town later to see the optician, hoping he can explain why I can't read with the reading specs I just got, whereas I can read fine with an old pair I have from 15 years ago Going to call in the docs too, and undoubtedly make a visit to Charlie's Carrying some Ironwood today Hope your week gets off to a great start Guardians

I know the feeling Mitch, I sometimes get salad or coleslaw dumped on my plate unasked for, doesn't go with everything. It's begun to wane here thankfully, but about a decade ago, they started sprinkling everything in pea sprouts! I do NOT want anything green on my Full English thank you! Hope you enjoyed your fish and chips mate

It was the wife that made it, so no saying no

Definitely a time to keep your feelings to yourself!

I need to go into town later to see the optician, hoping he can explain why I can't read with the reading specs I just got, whereas I can read fine with an old pair I have from 15 years ago

That's disappointing/ depressing/ distressing/ outrageous.

My new glasses are working fine. I can read better who's playing on the smaller TVs on the far wall of the bar. And I can read quite small print without a magnifying glass.
I might get in the habit of wearing them again.

These are old ones I keep by the computer.

Nice Rosewood Lamb !

OMJ is getting a nice patina !

19' is looking good ! Best of luck at the doctor and with your specs

 

[Heynowwww]

Have a great week!

Have a great week!

You too I'm afraid that isn't a Lambsfoot though. It pre-dates the Lambsfoot, and was known as a 'Short Beak'. Charlie's Ancient Barlow is a fabulous recreation. If you look in the Thread Index linked to on page 1 of this thread, you'll find some discussion of the pattern, and it is also discussed elsewhere in this sub-forum. Not a Lambsfoot though

Thank you. I'm embarrassed. For the record I did look it up to be sure and GEC gave me bad information.

Thanks Jack.

When you move it, it is still a sweet knife.
