Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Pàdruig]

Well, this thread has moved along rather nicely. I am sure there are no ulterior motives...

Good day, Guardians.

I spy my knife hiding.

What's that?

Good eye, Dylan. Is your AC named Waldo?

dc50 - Dave, these are the exercises I do most regularly (twice a day), and have found most helpful. The artwork is my physio's rather than mine!

Those are awesome Jack! 1 & 3 I do often as well, along with another similar to 1 but with one leg over the other (and rotate toward the side with the leg on top, if that makes sense, then alternate). It is great for tight waist/hip. All of these and more are in the book I mentioned. Perhaps you can also borrow from the local library? Not sure if it would be of help since your physio has already taught you these and others (this book is actually used by many physical therapists here in the US).

Edit to Add: also for me my tight hamstrings are a large part of the problem, so the simple toe-touch is very good. The trick, I hear, for hamstring stretches is to hold it from a "long" time. One day I might actually touch my toes (okay probably not).

Hasn't it just Dylan, completely changed things?! Well spotted there my friend :thumbsp:

I forgot about the ham-strings! I do 3 different stretches, but they came from a different physio, I tend to just do them throughout the day I have NEVER been able to touch my toes though! I have done the other exercise too, and it's a good one my friend, but my memory is so bad these days I struggle to remember more than a few - in fact I haven't done my ham-string stretches today (I'm going to do them now)! Thanks for the info on the book, I'll see if I can get hold of it

Good eye, Dylan. Is your AC named Waldo?

An apt name, Jeff. My AC shall be, henceforth, known as Waldo!


Well, I have been meaning to do this for awhile now and that is to get the Lambsfoot gang together for a little family shoot. It is, after all, the holiday season and everyone likes family photos, right?

I have been captivated by the Lambsfoot pattern ever since I saw Jack's Lambsfoot knives in the totin' thread however long ago and subsequently discovered his thread here. Ever since I received Rosie from @flatblackcapo (thank you again, my friend) it has all been downhill from there. I always have a Lambsfoot on hand and though I may not take pictures of one every day and post it, you can be well assured that I have one on my person.

It is, without a doubt, one of the most versatile and useful patterns in my burgeoning collection.

Here is my rather modest assortment so far (destined to continue growing, I'm sure).

Glamour shot!

Over the time that I have spent on these forums, acquiring knowledge, developing likes and dislikes, I have been able to conclude with relative certainty that the three Lambsfoot knives you see below are ones that are constructed using my favorite cover materials: Black Ebony, Red Bone, and Gnarly Stag. I like other covers as well, but those three are ones that will catch my fancy every time.

Getting my Lambsfoot knives together for a photo shoot made me realize that is has been a little while since I've carried this little beauty so in the pocket she went for today.

Those are some fantastic pictures Dylan. Beautiful knives are an inspiration.

 

[black mamba]

Great array, Dylan, with beautiful variety and great examples of each different material.

The stag on the far left and the horn on the far right make me swoon!

I haven't seen my toes since 2012

Fantastic post Dylan, and - WOW!!! - what a collection you have got! Beautiful photographs, as usual, too I think I would probably pick the same three, but I had forgotten about that lovely golden oxhorn model until I saw your first pic, it is certainly one of the finest I have seen, if not indeed the best of them all, I just love those honey, amber, golden tones - gorgeous

All this talk of back pain made me think of Rosie Perez dancing in Do the Right Thing. She demonstrated a lot of spinal health moves on Soul Train also, it turns out.

Amazing collection of Lambsfoot knives.

Thank you all for the very kind compliments. I am sure my modest collection pales in comparison to some but I am still rather pleased with my assortment. We are all very fortunate to have Jack as our very own Lambsfoot ambassador. Without his enthusiasm, knowledge, and contributions here, I find it unlikely that as many of use would be in "the know" about this wonderful pattern and it would remain in some obscurity over here in the States.

I am very much looking forward to what Jack has in store for us next year and I am very pleased with the quality I have seen in the last couple of knives I have received from Wright's factory. I would venture to say that they are comparable to GEC in terms of their quality.

Thank you for the kind words Dylan, I am very pleased that so many folks are enjoying the Lambsfoot pattern, and it's been great to see Wright's producing knives of a higher standard

Inspired by your beautiful golden oxhorn model, Dylan, I thought I would take Marilyn out for a twirl today Hope everyone is having a good week

 

[5K Qs]

Good on you for the walking! Every bit helps I've lost over fourty pounds and two pant sizes down it wasn't easy at first, but it was well worth it. Never looking back on this new chapter of my life.

...
I have lost 35 pounds this last year, just by cutting carb intake. (bread mostly) and watching sugar. As much protein and fat as you want to eat. The pics of pearl with the grilled food is my diet most days. I feast and still lose weight. I did go from 2-3 beers a day, to 1 beer and a glass of red wine. I must say it makes that one beer even more enjoyable.
Hope you have a great Sunday too, Jack.

Congrats on the impressive weight loss, Duane & Mark! Duane, riding your bike must be getting easier all the time as you have a smaller load to move. Mark, a colleague at work made diet changes very similar to yours, and he has also dropped substantial weight in the past year.

...
Anyway, that's just a little tortilla protocol primer from a south Texas boy.
...

Wow! Thanks for that informative tortilla primer, Vince! Superb stag!

...
Shortly after the Blitz, a telescope was temporarily installed on the steps of Sheffield City Hall, a few hundred yards away. It proved popular with women steel workers and buffer girls - Vulcan being the main attraction!
...

The many recent posts on exercise, aging, and health lead me to ask, "Buffer than whom??" (I was leaving the Fitness Center where I try to work out MWF, and a member of the Kinesiology faculty asked if my workout had left me "rough, tough, and buff." I admitted that for me, "tired, wired, and uninspired" is probably more accurate.)

Thanks mate As often seems to be the case, when I was snapping a pic the sun suddely hit my kitchen window, and made it hard for me to get one with even lighting. Hence the filter. Here's the original

Thank you GT, you are very generous with your kind Words
...
A pleasure, I hope you're already noticing an improvement in your vision GT

Thanks pal, nice wood isn't it?

LOL! No, I'll stick with the pocket-hogging AC!

Still looking good Any word on @mrknife, haven't seen him here for a long time?
...

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my idle speculations, Jack. I'll probably never become a good photographer due to my mundane aesthetic sense - I LIKE that unfiltered pic of your AC. I seem to remember that @mrknife posted something about some pre-knife hobbies taking more of his time again. But I also saw a recent post in which he showed off a GEC #85 he acquired.

...
Sounds like life is good at Casa de GT. I'm lookin' forward to seeing the new heard of sharps.
...

Thanks, FBC. I'm slowly, but surely, working on getting some decent pics of my newest knives.

How about briar? I've seen a plethora of pulchritudinous pipes (GT's influence).

Being influenced by me may not be a wise lifestyle decision, Vince. Just sayin'.

My old TEW Lambfoot has Jigged Bone and I would not mind seeing some new ones that have Dark Red Jigged Bone .

Harry

That's a superlative suggestion, Harry! (And "seconded" by Dylan in the next quote.)

...
There is something to be said for quality Stag, GT. I am glad you find so much pleasure in yours, it is certainly a fine knife.
...
A Lambsfoot dressed up in a dark red/brown jigged bone with fancy iron bolsters and liners would be a rather phenomenal knife.
...

Thanks, Dylan, for the compliment on Cracker Jack and for sharing your superb photos!

...
They are photos of the Accident Book from A.Wright & Son, going back to the firm's establishment....

Thanks for yet another fascinating artifact, Jack!

Who knows John, could be a busy weekend

Accurate prophesy, Jack; definitely a lot of Guardians traffic over the weekend!

Few pics from my walk today
...
Hope everyone is having a good day

Great pics from your walk, Jack! I do quite a bit of walking these days, but almost exclusively on city sidewalks through residential neighborhoods. Pleasant, but not extremely visually stimulating.

Your country is a beautiful one Jack. View attachment 1038350

Your photo of that rosewood lambsfoot is a beautiful one, too, Dwight!!

Thank you Gary, I can't see it really, but I'm sure I'll get distracted from time to time That sounds like a nice way to spend a Sunday morning. Sorry to hear about your neighbour. Yes, that's the circle of life. Very sad about Charles

Take care pal, and hope to see you around

I'm always around, but sometimes I do much more reading than posting.

...
GT that is a wonderful photo!!!
...

Thanks, Dwight. I have to confess it was a total accident to capture that reflected sunset; I didn't even notice it until I downloaded the pic to my computer!

Here we go

Mark side:

Pile side:

I LOVE that pair of photos!

...

...
If anyone isn't sure which is their knife, I have photos of everyone's still!
...
This thread has certainly moved a lot quicker than normal!

...

The group shot of the ebony knives isn't nearly as intriguing to me because the knives appear so similar. If I had the pile on a table in front of me, I could identify my knife (a recognizable butt-crack, like so many of us ), but I'd need individual close-ups to do a pictorial ID.

I like the names on the ACs; I wonder how many we can actually identify?

I'm sorry for your knee problem Dave. Since misery loves company I will tell you I'm getting steroid injections in both shoulders, MRI Tuesday and looking like surgery on the right one soon. My body is worn smooth out and it seems like it happened all at once. Anyway, I hope you are well soon my friend.

I hope Dave and Dwight and everyone else who's dealing with health/medical concerns can see improvement ASAP! Dwight, are your shoulder problems rotator cuff related? Dave, I'm another proponent of exercise and stretching to keep sciatica flare-ups at bay.

dc50 - Dave, these are the exercises I do most regularly (twice a day), and have found most helpful. The artwork is my physio's rather than mine!
...

Obviously your doc has completed a highly-acclaimed medical illustration program!

Well-said, Dylan; "Lambsfoot ambassador" is an excellent description of at least one important aspect of Jack's role!

This week, I'll carry my Man Jack (thanks, @R.c.s ):

Thank you, my friend, I remember many years ago my wife and I were in Hong Kong on a holiday. In the mornings I would watch a large group of seniors practicing tai chi in the park and thought that's pretty cool. maybe this ole bugger can learn the art of tai chi I'm thinking that would be a great exercise routine to develop.
