Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Prester John]

I read this over in the other thread and thought it was touching, Vince!

Thanks, Gary. I'm no poet, and I know it, but I try!

Lambsfoot alllllll day

So tonight I spent a little time CF'ing and chicken eye'in my four A Wright Lambsfoots...nice pieces of kit, each and every one, and all unique in character. these knives have soul, something about them is timeless...I could well get on for many a year with no other pocket knife but any one of my specimens. just thought to take a moment and thank Mr. Jack Black for introducing me and all a Y'all to this magnificent pattern! You, good sir, are a valiant Champion, of all things Lambsfoot. One of the main reasons BF has held my interest through the years is the wealth of discovering knives I had no previous exposure to or knowledge of. The Lambsfoot was a most pleasant and welcome discovery...

I have to agree with you, the Lambsfoot was the one and only knife, that has stopped my incessant looking for the perfect knife.

Make that three that could get by with just a lambsfoot.

Congrats to the winner and thanks to the giver.
I'll have to look up the etymology of Wellington boots. I have a hard time picturing the iron duke wearing a pair of them.
Re-using this picture because it ain't bad, by my standards.

First posted in haiku thread:

Lambsfoot, who made thee,
With thy stellar Sambar stag?
Ashley, of A. Wright.

(With apologies to William Blake )

Vince inspired me to try my hand at a lambsfoot haiku. (But he is in no way responsible for any shortcomings of my effort. )

Tapered, tang to tip.
Straight edge, with a swayback grip.
Make mine a lambsfoot!


I need to update my family photo to include my Cracker Jack.

I like it, Gary.
Nice collection. But I think Cracker Jack is the best.

I see mine in the pile. It is right under Ron’s. I can tell by the deep furrow down the middle of the handle.

Congratulations to all of the Guardians on 500 pages! A special thank you to Jack Black for being a great friend to us all and the ultimate ambassador of the Lambsfoot. I can’t wait to see what the next 500 pages have in store for us! For knife content I have the Ebony Trio!

I could certainly "get by" with a lambsfoot, and even though it is a better pattern than that implies, I like knives, not a knife. Definitely one of the very best!

Here's my lambsfoot haiku (I actually got this from RALF this morning! ).

A pure joy to hold,
Capable of any cut:
Lambsfoot perfection.

I'm afaid that RALF is not very modest. ​

I'm not yet a Guardian, but I have finished filing papers to adopt a shaped handled one with rosewood covers. With any luck she'll be home by the New Year.

Dave you're a good egg my friend and this is a better place with you here.

Thank you, my friend,

I have thought hard about what knives I should carry tomorrow, and what Barrett might like to see. I have a few in my bag, but the Lambsfoot in my pocket will be my new Albino

Jack, I'm thinking it would be fitting to call it the "White Rose of Yorkshire" or just The White Rose.

Russell, congratulations on the win @Rusty1

I like those shaped handles. Haven't got one yet. Not from Wright's anyway. There's my stranger with no name:

Hi folks,

I just got in after a long, tiring, but hugely enjoyable day over in Sheffield with Barrett I'm on my way to get some zzzzzs, but am looking forward to catching up with everyone tomorrow. Just snapped some pics, I thought I'd share with you before I hit the hay
