Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Prester John]

I call that bold talk . . . for a one-eyed fat man!

 

[Jack Black]

LOL! I do like a nip of rum or whisky in my coffee when I go for a winter hike, but it is generally later in the morning when I have it

Rain finally ceased, and all seems peaceful once more.

...More Lambsfoot content please folks or we'll end up in the Lounge

Praemonitus,praemunitus (Forewarned is forearmed)! In this post, I'll try to primarily celebrate the diversity of lambsfoot knives that have appeared recently.

Lambsfoot of Rosewood means your life is so good!!

Giving my rosewood some much needed pocket time!

Looking good, Taylor!

Halfway through my sharpening. With Greg (@WhittlinAway )'s encouragement, I decided to reprofile my rosewood Big 'Un to 15 DPS.

...

...
I'd like to hear how you like the 15dps on your rosewood big'un. I had to go with a more obtuse micro-bevel on mine, as the edge kept rolling. It's an older production, and the steel is a bit on the softer side, plus a tiny bit of waviness on the edge makes it tricky to sharpen on flat stones. When I have the time, I should get out the sharpmaker and try resetting the bevel entirely. I think I still need to get down to the "good meat"

When playing cards, isn't there a saying, "Cut thin to win"? That's my opinion about knives, too. Good luck with your rosewood sharpening projects, Jack and Rachel!

...Its a snow day today, posting the Big Red which has become my favored carry.

Crazy how these lambsfoot knives have imposed their will on so many of us, Dave!!

Lambsfoot of Ebony strikes me as heavenly!!

...
Old pic of Blackadder and stick.

Handsome wooden pair, Jer!

This is my Black Jack's last day in my pocket during its scheduled week.

I didn't have coffee this morning, so making up for it now

A double-wood Sunday, Jack! I didn't know how to categorize your knife-laden post! That porter looks like something I'd enjoy.

Dang it, Gary, I just spent a good 15 min. looking at meat pies!

Two Lambsfoots hanging out in some very English type weather.

Cool photo of your lambsfoot pair, FBC! I'll stick it in the ebony section, although I'm tempted to create an oxhorn section for your grand two-tone model! I spent more time than I intended checking out that meat pie site, too. I liked the looks of those pies, and I've had pizza pies delivered from several miles away, but I don't know about shipping meat pies from Buffalo NY!

Lambsfoot of Stag is wonderful swag!!

Gleaming example, Vince!

...
Why do Lambsfoot Knives make me hungry these days? Must be some sort of Pavlovian response.

Stag at work!

...
A pleasure my friend, thanks for all your kind words, and for those two great pics I'm 6ft 2", and can remember struggling to get to 150lbs. I was weighed at 240lb yesterday!

I'm rushing a bit to finish this post, but predictably...

...

AC = Awesome Cutlery! Thanks for your remarks about my photos. I guess the first 150 lbs. are the hardest, but then they come much more easily.

Your stag with its swirl is better than pearl, Joshua!

Traditions are nice.

I heard a fiddler on a roof make that same claim. I'm a big fan of traditions and routines.

I still have to mow the lawn in December! It was in the 70s today. You're so lucky!

I usually say I'd much rather mow the lawn once a week than shovel snow 2 or 3 times per day!

Going to have to try that. We were about the same weight at 17, but I wasn't able to stay at that weight! I will resolve to eat less and move a LOT more.

Good luck, Vince!

Indoor gardening of course

Mark, I should have realized the average gardening book does not have an image on the cover proclaiming "White Goblin Games" (or whatever it was). I used to play board games a lot, but not much any more. And I haven't kept up with all the new games that have come out. My adult experiences with board games involved Risk and Monopoly (and Clue when my daughter was younger). It was interesting to learn that the Rosenberg guy who created your gardening game was trained in statistics!

Sunrise and Sunsets are natures way of saying Good Morning and Good Night, this was your welcome to Spain in the Morning.

Thank you, Gary, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

Heres to Oatmeal on every man's table.

Thanks for paying attention to my ramblings, Dave.

Thanks GT, your kind words are always appreciated my friend, a shame I can't invite you round for a glass of Porter - though, if you came round, we could just walk to the Sam Smith's pub down the road I've been enjoying seeing your Black Jack, and am looking forward to seeing its replacement too

An oldie, but a goodie Jer! Nice stick my friend

I'm still hoping to make a nice bent knob stick, but I'm beginning to think I should stop insulting the woods with my 2-piece ones.

I had a look at a couple of UK stick sites a few years back, there's a whole 'nother world there

At Easter, I went up to a small Yorkshire market town called Pickering, with the intention of doing some walking. Unfortunately, the only time it stopped raining was when it snowed There are a few interesting shops there (sadly the antiques centre had closed down) too, and I was poking about in one of them when I came across a really beautiful staff for sale for £10. There was a coat hanging over it, or I think someone else would have snapped it up. It was clearly a bespoke item, and very nicely made. An absolute bargain, but unfortunately, for one reason and another, I couldn't take it back home with me. Still sad about it

 

[screened porch]

Fill your hands, you ... !

Beat me to it.
Though I remember the line as "Fill your hand, you sweet puppy."
Haven't seen that movie in several decades, though. I remember being irritated that Kim Darby never uttered a contraction.

What film is that line from? I remember 'Fill your hand' from the Uzi ads that ran on the backs of American gun mags throughout much of the 80's!

Edit - Sorry, getting tired here! Time to go to bed I think

Bummer.
I'm always surprised to find a nice one at a reasonable price. The one pictured with Blackadder was $8.50. It's much more common to find an ordinary piece of softwood drilled for a thong for $30 or so.

True Grit. John Wayne, Glen Campbell as the man from Texas, Kim Darby as the child seeking justice, and Robert Duvall as the principle baddie. Principal baddie.
I think I actually read the book, because it wasn't in the movie that Rooster Cogburn claimed to have killed a bunch of guys by riding straight at them with two (horse?) pistols, and nobody believed him, but he did it again at the end of the book, in front of witnesses.
In the movie he has his habitual Colt and the twirly-loop Winchester. (He kills everybody but Duvall, and is pinned under his horse, when Campbell drops Duvall with his Sharps. ("Hooray for the man from Texas!"(Kim Darby)).

I HATE to miss a bargain!

$8.50 is a good price I picked up a couple from the 19th century, with silver collars, for £20

Sorry Jer, my brain is going to sleep here! It's a long time since I've seen the original, and I've never read the book. I did enjoy the Coen Brothers re-make though

Hooee!

 

[Jack Black]

Hooee!

Here's one of them from 1895 (with Guardians Lambsfoot from 2017)...

And the other, from 1847

LOL! Hope your English weather is better than our English weather has been today my friend! Excellent pic

Hope everyone is having a good weekend It never stopped raining here all day, and the dark nights are most certainly here now

I think your English weather has more fortitude than our English weather. It cleared up a couple hours later and turned into a fine day for dog walking and Lambsfoot totin'. I'm sorry to hear that your English weather is so stubbornly holding on.

I didn't have coffee this morning, so making up for it now

Oooo, and in a fancy glass too.

Thank you, Gary. It looks like Black Jack is acquiring some good honest wear.
I was tempted by the tasty looking meat pies but I have a hard time paying 5 times what the pies would cost in shipping.
It looks like I might need to figure out how to make them myself.

Keeping with the True Grit theme

That irritated me too about Jeannie in the "I Dream of Jeannie" television series.
I think you're right about "hand", though.
