Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

That is a sweet looking Lamb. :thumbsup:
Nice shadow lamb Jack. Glad to see you are having a busy, but fruitful week.
Thanks a lot guys, it was a kind gift from Paul Jakeywax31 Jakeywax31 :) :thumbsup:
Jack it's the hogfather based on Terry pratchrlet's disc world series.
The rain is forecast for showers all weak.
Nice lamb
Thanks for the info Mitch, and for the compliment :) Sorry to hear there's more rain on the way mate :thumbsup:
Glad to hear that it stopped raining. We're not so lucky as we had more overnight and it's supposed to rain again later today. 😕
Shadow Lamb looking good 👍
Oh no! :eek: Your weather seems to have been crazy this year Steve :( :thumbsup:

I'm going to miss some work today for a surprise doctor's appointment.

I messaged my doctor yesterday about sciatica, and she wanted me to get seen by any available provider, which sounds a little more urgent than my idea of sciatica.
Fortunately there's a new guy in the practice who isn't booked solid yet, so he had this one opening today when I'm working, or more tomorrow when I'm not working. The receptionist thought I looked urgent enough that I shouldn't wait the extra day, which "gives one furiously to think, does it not". Nice I won't have to wonder for long.
I sure hope everything is OK Jer, sciatica alone is bad enough :eek: :thumbsup:
Sounds like a busy day ahead!

Interesting that the pins appear to be fully hidden on that shadow lamb. I don’t know that I’ve personally ever seen that feature on a lambfoot, but it has a really nice look. Wondering if this is a standard feature of that specific knife, or something special going on there. Thanks for sharing!

If I remember correctly Josh, Joseph Rodgers did a small range of these knives in the late 70's. It had a name, which unfortunately I forget, but they were probably primarily trying to cut manufacturing costs, and the Sheffield cutlers were facing stiff foreign competition at the time, and being under-priced. I think the covers are just glued on, but they're solid little knives, and very light in the pocket :thumbsup:
May the sun appear for some, and continue to shine for others.
That's an absolute beauty Bob, I love how understated it is :cool: :) :thumbsup:
Gorgeous Dwight :cool: The coin reminds me of the old British pre-decimal ha'pennies :) :thumsup:

Thanks. I'm guessing she wants to rule out congestive heart failure, but why guess? I'll know in a couple hours.

I'm lucky to have a doctor and insurance.
:eek: I hope that you're OK Jer, and that Lamb isn't a metaphor for how you feel ;) :thumbsup:
Well, it's supposed to hit 109 here today, so thanks for nothing! :D
Blimey Tyson, I hope your AC is working buddy :eek: 🥵 :thumbsup:
So many nice lamb pictures. And Tool Man always looks happy chomping down on something. Bob those wood covers on your Cosimo are something else. And I especially look forward to more pictures of Cosimo/Paul collaboration. I am happy to be getting number 9. Meanwhile we’re in for a bit of a heat wave here. I’m always worried more about fires especially with the 4th of July coming up. It’s nice living in a forest but we have a lot of eucalyptus trees that burn like torches. Safe and sane is my motto ( just on July 4th to be honest ).

Tool Man will chomp down on just about anything Kurt, particularly if someone else is paying! ;) Beautiful Lamb there :) I hope there are no fires, I'm sure those eucalyptus trees burn like crazy! :eek: :thumbsup:
 
What a wonderful lot of gorgeous custom lambs being shown: the craftsmanship, the artistry; just look at what you started, and the legacy of beauty left by you, Jack, along with the talented knifemakers we now have. Our little pond just keeps getting wider and deeper! :thumbsup:
 
I'm really sorry to read about your significant troubles Will :( I hope the CJ indicates a change for the better, it has outstanding character. The blade will certainly have been hand forged, and 'Hand Forged' is a common Sheffield blade stamp. Tool Man is the same fat fool he has been all the time I've known him! :D :thumbsup:

Tool Man in prime form! 😁
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and that the week has got off to a good start for you. It's stopped raining here, but it doesn't exactly look like July - even Yorkshire July :rolleyes: I still have a bunch of tedious tasks to take care of, but since I need to go to town anyway, I'm going to call in at Charlie's for a coffee ;) Have a good day Guardians :) Carrying my Joseph Rodgers Shadow Lamb :) :thumbsup:

Cool pic of your 🐑 Jack
May the sun appear for some, and continue to shine for others.
Stunning 🐑
Scrumptious 🐑

Beeeeeatiful!
 
Thank you Jack. He is almost spot on with his design now.( IMHO)
Wonderful Bob :) :thumbsup:

Well said Jeff.👌
Thank you gents, that's very kind of you :) I'm so glad so many cutlers are producing them, and that folks here are coming up with new ideas. It is particularly rewarding to see the Lambsfoot become a regular pattern for Eric Albers, and to see it continuing to spread in popularity :) :thumbsup:
 
Sssssuper Ed :thumbsup:
Good morning Guardians, it's another wet one here. :rolleyes:

Lambspey today 👍

Superb photo of that beauty Steve :) Please don't be offended, but it'd be nice to see less of the Spey ;) Apart from the obvious considerations, it'd make it easier to see how it would be to use the Lambsfoot blade. Many knives with full size blades sacrifice comfort and ergonomics for utility, but I really like this frame, Butler's were a great cutlery firm, with many innovative designs :thumbsup:
 
Very nice Saynor David.
Pondering is right up there with lolligagging. I hope you have great success with it today.
Thanks friend! Lolligagging is on the agenda for tomarrow. 🤣
Stay outta the water. Just saw Tool Mans fin headed this way. 🤣
Classic Lamb my friend :cool: Enjoy the pondering and piddling! :D :thumbsup:
Thanks buddy! I will. Have gotten rather good at it while I been recuperating. 😁
Lovely lines on that Lamb ! 😍
Thanks pard! 🤠

Thanks for the info, Jack. It would be interesting to see a modern interpretation with hidden pins like that. It’s a very clean look, even if the intent for that one was mainly for economic reasons.

Also, some more lamb content of what’s in my pocket today. I don’t often share pics with the pile side of this re-covered GEC 93, but honestly this side has some really nice character to my eye.

None taken pal, I'll try and remember 👍

I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the series Josh, I don't think they made them for long, and I only ever heard the name used once. I do think it has nice, clean lines :) Your #93 looks great :) :thumbsup:

:eek: You've definitely earned some taking it easy time David :) :thumbsup:

Thank you Steve, I love the way the secondary blade is able to sit so low in the frame, and think that's a much more stylish look than a simple EO notch. It must be nice and comfortable to use. I'm guessing the Lamb blade sits a little higher. Really cool knife, and a rare design, which almost harks back to the earlier pistol grip frames, and the frames used for the very early 2-blade Quill knife frames :thumbsup:
