Thanks Steve.Lovely looking handles !
The Butler does it with class.
Do you ever wonder where the "Real Lamb Foot" etch originated from?
Were there fake ones running around back in the day? Or did people doubt their existence?
Looking good Mitch
Thank you DavidHave a good one at the market tomorrow.![]()
Very tasty Mitch
Hope you enjoy yourself BillGood morning Guardians. Heading out to play 18 this morning. Beautiful day today - getting into the 80's.![]()
As the slug said to the snail, "Where's Michelle?"
Nice edge on that beauty Bob
Frustrating Jer![]()
My bike helmet is out for delivery!
It was originally to be expected yesterday, but those riverine dingbats drove it from west of Chicago to Pontiac to Wyandotte to Kalamazoo before turning it over to USPS. They must have been driving pretty fast, at least.
I remember to check the river before I order from another e source, but I need to remember to check my local stores before I order from the river. I could have bought one locally yesterday for the same price as the one that's keeping me waiting.
'Sweet' was just the word that came to my mind too!
Classic Steve
I'm surprised it's not referenced in the Thread Index. That kind of phrasing was common in the Sheffield cutlery trade, long before the Lambsfoot pattern came about. Abram Brooksbank knives were even etched 'Real Knife', and other cutlery manufacturers also included the term 'Real' in etches and stampings, so not that strange. Maybe the word had a slightly different meaning back then?Do you ever wonder where the "Real Lamb Foot" etch originated from?

Maybe not to be confused with a cheaply made boy's knife.That kind of phrasing was common in the Sheffield cutlery trade, long before the Lambsfoot pattern came about.

Good afternoon Guardians, 3pm here in Yorkshire, and I haven't been back from the market long. The temperature has been cooler, but the rain held off at least. Tool Man excelled himself in gluttony, consuming a loaf-size beef sandwich, and 3/4 of a pizza Martin bought, which he then had the cheek to complain about!Of course, that wasn't ALL he ate!
At least, since he is suffering with toothache, he's currently off the cake!
Along with the regulars, we had a few of our irregular visitors, including Scooby, from Tool Man's old motorcycle gang, and Big Dave, (pictured below, centre), who did the catering at Tool Man's wedding. Hope everyone is having a good day
