Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Sometimes the Texas Rangers were known to carry a "REAL LAMB FOOT", in addition to their Colt .45s.

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). :rolleyes: 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! ;)

Uwe Rosenberg has made some great games. I didn't know he was trained in statistics, I wonder if I helps when creating games. I can imagine it does. :)

I had to rescue this thread from almost making it back to Page 3! For shame! :eek:



Not at all, my friend, I am pleased and flattered that you enjoy it.



Thank you, Jack. I am going to try and chime in a bit more often.

I had the good ol' Ebony today. Always a pleasing choice, a very fine knife.

Your photo has inspired me, Dave. I’ll go with rosewood today, too. :)

Mine doesn’t yet have the nice patina that yours is starting to show. I’ll have to put mine to more work.

I must confess for long having a blind spot to the Wright's Lambsfoot knives in rosewood. Maybe it's because I associated it with the days when their fit and finish was very hit and miss. However, it really does have a special character and beauty :) :thumbsup:

BTW my AC has won a special award! ;) :D :thumbsup:

Congratulations to your AC! I always look forward to that thread and, if I recall correctly, lambsfoot knives were well represented in the 2017 edition. I'm looking forward to digging into the 2018 edition when I have enough free time to sit and savor it. Meanwhile, I'll start pondering my selection.

Thanks Greg, I've just carried it round the kitchen on my shoulders, singing "For he's a jolly good Lambsfoot..."! :D ;) :thumbsup:

Fine looking knife. Interesting cup, too.

Thank you, Vince. If you ever make it out to Oregon, the McMenamins establishments are definitely worth visiting. They take old vintage buildings, sometimes even saving them from demolition, and convert them into brew pubs, eateries, distilleries, hotels, etc.

Thank you, Jack. I've been eagerly anticipating your Knife of the Year thread and will be contributing soon.

Ebony again for me today.

Lovely Dylan, your photos are always such a treat :) Have you been fishing yet, I think I would struggle to resist? :thumbsup:

I don't know why Jack, the Rosewood Lambsfoot model is my first choice for edc. I carry the AC for uptown adventures and the ebony for downtown. :p

LOL! Great stuff Dave :D My first Lambsfoot was from Wright's, and I got lucky, but I saw so many stinkers on sale at the time, in Barnett's Hardware Store in York, where @5K Qs also came from, that I struggled to find another. Here it is before I passed it on to Charlie @waynorth :) :thumbsup:

Ok that one has a mighty fine looking wood grain. :thumbsup: What I noticed about the Rosewood models is that they are chamfered I think thats the word :confused: which lets them mold nicer to the grip. Also lighter in weight, the wood kinda reminds me of some of the old-time Churches, Schools, and Mercantile buildings. It just feels like home. :thumbsup::D

Thanks Dave :) Wright's use rosewood extensively, across their entire range of folding knife patterns, and they sell far more of them than anything else (partly because the rosewood models are the least expensive no doubt). I was very pleased with the recent ones they made for us with polished blades :) :thumbsup:

This one is one of a kind, it was a pre-production bolster sample for this year's horn knives, but done on a rosewood knife :thumbsup:

I would be more than happy with an upgraded Rosewood for a series. I do realize that's not what the majority of Guardians would want.
Besides I'm not the type of fellow to rock the jukebox.:p
