Ron, I really like your Humphreys Radiant!

I can't quite tell from the photo: is the "real lamb foot" on the blade an etch or a stamp? It looks like it's got some depth to it.
 
Good to see you here Mike, lovely knife, but I think that's a Sheepsfoot :thumbsup:

Ron, although only a probationary guardian (my first Lambsfoot is somewhere between Grove City and Sheffield right now), I think your Humphreys Radiant is the "real" deal. :thumbup::thumbup:

Welcome to the Guardians Ron! :D :thumbup: Your Humphrey's Radiant really is an outstanding example of the pattern I think :thumbup: Nice pic of your Arthur Wright :thumbup:

Jack - Thank you on all 3 counts my friend! These at present are my only two, and I am quite proud of each of them. The Wright means the most to me because I got it from a dear friend! ;) The Humphreys was my 1st and it is really a super nice example that I feel fortunate to have.

Thank you Dean! :D
 
Something I didn't fully appreciate until owning one is what a wonderfully practical pattern the lambsfoot is. I just used mine, for example, to peel—in one go :D—and slice a kiwi fruit and then to slice a banana while preparing a second breakfast after I got to work. It performed splendidly and the fruit is helping the patina along.

Several of my coworkers commented on my bowl of oatmeal, but, sadly, none noticed the little helper that made it possible.

Great pic Greg, the Lambsfoot is the most versatile blade shape I know of :thumbup:

My most recent Lambsfoot came with a decent edge, and I've only sharpened it today (we had a run-in with a load of cardboard the other day!). It's like a straight razor now :) :thumbsup:

Is the correct plural form of lambsfoot (or sheepsfoot for that matter) lambsfoots/sheepsfoots or lambsfeet/sheepsfeet? :confused:

I believe it is Lambsfoot/Sheepsfoot Barrett :) It sounds a little less strange if you pluralise knife into knives, or blade into blades, as in for example, Lambsfoot knives :thumbsup:

Agreed, Jack. It definitely sounds less strange if you just say "knives." :D
