Please post a pic of your first Lambsfoot knife, and if you want, you can tell us a little about it, your first impressions of the pattern, and how you came to take to it. Please make it clear you're entering the giveaway.

I'll join this.

I don't remember if I posted these in this thread already or not. This is from earlier this summer. This was my first. It's been all over the world with me. A dozen countries while in the military. This photo was taken from the top of Moro Rock in Sequoia National Park in California.

Here's an old picture of it in Europe with me. At breakfast. It's pictures like this that remind me why I got out of the army.

Hot dogs and a boiled egg for breakfast haha

Anyways, it's one of my most often carried knives. And would be of the few knives I would instantly rebuy if I lost or broke it.

After taking this picture I realized that a pile-side shot of a lamb, the most defining characteristic of which is the enchanting wood grain on its mark side, was bound to fall flat in the face of the excitement surrounding 100,000 posts, 5,000 pages, lambs dominating the conversation at high-society galas, GL-24, and an array of incredible lambfoot-based giveaways. Alas, here it is:

It is very nice too, but I don't expect anyone who has seen the other side to be overly impressed.

I wonder what kind of wood that is. Oak? Witch's broomstick? Off-cut from Brian May's fireplace mantle? I guess I'll just never know. Sure do wish these knives came with provenance.... or could talk.

I'll join this.

I like it a lot,I much prefer it to glitzy and shiny.

We all thought the US military ate 5 star everywhere they went.

I believe the greatest honour for a knife is to be used, this old girl has had a very honoured life!
I always liked the stamped “real lambsfoot” this one is a “mb foot” at this point but close enough!

20mm of much needed rain over the past few days. I’m not sure how you sure rain in imperial system stateside, maybe 1/3 of a Dixie cup

Cool pic David

I've been sick and incapacitated most of the summer and only just now getting back to BF'ing. Sorry to have missed the group knife during the illness, wish I'd popped in before now... been wanting to get ahold of an Albers Lambsfoot for a while, and if you know me elsewhere on the forum you know vintage linen micarta is what I commission on my customs because I just love it. At any rate, these turned out spectactular and each one looks better than the next. Here's a long overdue check-in with a little blast from the past from some of my modified Navy Knife > Lambsfoot conversions for old time sake.

And here's a little mockup that pushed me over the edge to do it. I didn't like the proportions of the spear, and the pattern just seemed like a natural for the modification. The EO notch allowed me to loose the nail nick while remaining the blade expecially Lamb-y.

At any rate, congratulations to the Guardians, to Jack, to Eric Albers, and to all of you who now have these beautiful treasures to cherish! Be well everyone.

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

Thank you.
It was my way of paying forward.

LOL!

Looking good Jer

I always think I should go to the theatre more, there are a number of theatres in Leeds, and nearby Harrogate, but it's not often there's anything I want to see, and I'm a singleton now. I'm glad you enjoyed the production Bill, nice pic of your Barlow

Thank you Steve, very kind of you

Sweet pic These are beautiful knives I love the colour

Thanks Todd, only one of the two work-relatef emails I was expecting came through, so I have gone out gallivanting, with the excuse of picking up a few provisions! After calling in at Charlie's, I went to the market, then to the bank, then for an Udon Curry at the Vietnamese restaurant. After picking up some groceries, I've gone for coffee and cake! I hope you make light work of that yard work my friend

Jack, you should get to the theater - England has such a great tradition and usually very high quality productions too. I have always loved theater and have been going ever since I was in high school.

 

[Onebigbill]

Good evening Guardians. Been a very busy day for me today and just getting my feet back on the ground now. Been carrying my HHB. My favorite knife. Obtained from Charlie C based on his kindness. Very special to me.

Mate sorry to hear of your illness good to have you back, but just a reminder this thread is for Lambsfoot blades only, you will be asked to delete all non Lambsfoot photos.

 

[Fodderwing]

Ancient and majestic

A sunny morning here. I enjoyed my walk and took the GL-24 out for the first time. That micarta is beautiful and full of character. Here’s the pile side.

Gorgeous Kurt.

It's definitely not a job for the faint of heart

Another cool photo Dwight

Thanks mate.

Love these TEW's.

There is a lot I didnt know about traditionals when I joined here (though as a child I was carrying a U boat commanders locking sodbuster).

I didnt know about Barlows or Lambs foot knives.

I have skillfully combined the 2 here.

One of my all-time favorites Johnny!

Hey Andrew! I'm sorry to hear about your illness. Good to know you're on the mend and great to see you here. Beautiful work on these lambs my friend. Oh - Leon's right. You know ole Jack will want you to delete the non-lambs foot pics.

Dear Sir, we regret to inform you that your submission of ‘plain hot dog and boiled egg’ has been rejected by the official Guardians of the Condiments subcommittee…
