Lovely shot my friend

Have a great day Mike

Beautiful photo Steve

Not often they don't do anything to death mate Good guess!


Looking good David

I saw that Dan, but having already resented the fact that the darn thing wasn't fit for purpose, a case for the system was part of the package, and since I'd already bought the case, I was even less impressed that I've have to buy a second one. I like the company's products on the whole, but was very disappointed with that one, and realised that it was something I didn't actually need anyway. Most of all, I'm unimpressed with the YouTube guys, some of whom reckon to specialise in traditional knives, who posted the most glowing reviews about a system they either hadn't used, or not used enough

Nice to see your flock growing Jack

That pic shows off your new Lamb nicely Mitch

We could do with you down Leeds market Mitch! I'm glad you had a good time with your mates, that's the important thing

Good morning Guardians, and I hope those you in the USA get to enjoy your day off, even those who already have a day off! I need to go into town later to take care of a few things, got a few phone calls to make this morning. Weather forecast today is cloudy all day here, so Miss Lucy wasn't too reluctant to leave her box Be careful out there Guardians

I've tried everything....it will not patina.

Morning folks
I don't like what I think may be some software changes to the forum as in when you link or share a thread it now displays almost the whole first post of such thread with pictures and everything cluttering things up.
I edited my previous post and embebed the thread link inside a word

Anyways, what is for breakfast ?

Ok, I confess. It's a pic. No way I am cooking this early in the morning. I need loads of yerba mate first

Nice of you to let Lucy out

I would name my knives, but I have a very poor memory, when trying to remember them.
Getting ready for a secondary bevel, which seems to help it retain its edge.

I hope everyone has a good labor day....sorry if you have to work.

What kind of wood is that one Bob ?

A nice meal tonight.

Home killed corned beef, with carrots and collards from the garden and Hannah’s sour dough. Ran out of our own spuds so they’re store bought. Nearly time to plant next seasons.

Some Guardian quotes leftover from late last week.

Being a transplanted southerner living in Minnesota, my biggest complaint about root beer is hearing Minnesotans pronounce the word “root” like it rhymes with “foot.”

Does almost everyone in your area pronounce "root" to rhyme with "foot"? Do they pronounce "roof" with that same "foot" rhyme? Do you know if they pronounce "hoof" to rhyme with "foot" (and should they )? Are they consistent in the way they say "root"? I think I've heard people who use different pronunciation for "root" in "root beer" than they do in "square root" or "tree root".

Cool pic Gary !

Interesting photo Gary

I like that pic, GT.

Thanks for the kind comments on my photo of LamBarJack on the manhole cover. I had my rosewood HHB with me in Cedarville last week, and saw plenty of those Neenah Foundry covers, but the photo was actually taken in Cedarville a couple of summers ago. It was soon after I had driven past East Jordan, MI the original base of East Jordan Iron Works (now an international conglomerate simply called EJ). Most of the manhole covers, storm sewer curb drains, fire hydrants, etc. where I'm from are from East Jordan Iron Works. I wondered why Cedarville manhole covers didn't come from EJIW, since the distance from East Jordan to Cedarville is less than 110 mi, while the distance from Neenah, WI to Cedarville is just over 300 mi. But then I remembered that the Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan's 2 peninsulas opened in 1957, and if Cedarville put in their sewer system prior to that date, a shipment from East Jordan to Cedarville would have required a ferry trip across the Straits of Mackinac, which may have made the totally overland route from Neenah a cheaper alternative.

...

They have an even larger selection of other sodas (“cokes” as we’d call ‘em where I grew up, Minnesotans would probably say “pops”). All this, and no D&B.

...

Whoa! Have you ever tried Killebrew Cream Soda, Barrett? Since it has "Hall of Fame Taste", I assume it's named after Hall of Fame Twins (and Senators before they moved to Twin Cities) baseball star Harmon Killebrew.

Thanks Jack. Perhaps you may remember a fellow Guardian named Harvey - he went by Cigarrodog. Harvey had a magnificent collection of vintage lambs. Sadly he passed away a while back. A great loss to the forum in general and this thread in particular. He was a very special fellow and a masterful photographer. As time went by his lambs began to show up on the "big river" site. When this wonderful old lamb appeared I immediately recognized it and was able to make the highest bid. So, the point I'm making is that this beautiful lambsfoot has much greater value to all of us here having been one of his prized lambs. There were several others "rescued" off the "big river" site by other guardians who recognized them.

Very glad you could find, recognize, and acquire that glorious old knife that Harvey used to own, Dwight!
Once in a while, in memory of Harvey's photos, you should post it with some delicious bakery goods.

I don't get a regular paycheck from work anymore, which I kind of miss, but who needs it when we get daily bonuses like that from Steve??

Jack, in that photo it looks like the flames of Dante's Inferno are raging near the butt of your GL-24!!

My wife just says she's going to sell each of my knives for $10 apiece when I pass.
She has no idea as to the value of my pile.

Maybe she's thinking of it in terms of a price based on "volume discount", Bob.
Or, maybe you have no idea as to the value of her time; she wants to price them to move QUICKLY.

Our mice are smarter than that, or the wires in our vehicles are just tastier than peanut butter! I love it when Butty comes running in to show off the mouse she just eliminated.


Bonus pic

Patrick, I was afraid you were going to claim that was a mouseburger made from Kitty Butty's kills!

Fresh from the mailbox
Used a GEC lamb to free an Albers lamb
What a beauty

Congrats on the new GL-24, Mike!!

Afternoon Guardians. Here's to a long weekend in the US. Can't wait for fall but at least it isn't 112 heat index today...

Awesome shot of your ebony Guardians Lambsfoot, Michael!!

The Lambsfoot I'll be carrying for this first week of September is Valley Jack, my 2019 desert ironwood Guardians lambsfoot:

Happy Labor Day Guardians !


Twisted Lamb today. I spent some time yesterday and rounded the edges of the handle. It shows the layers of micarta better as well as being more comfortable in hand

 

[sf fanatic]

These do have a way of making an impression . Have a great week Guardians!

 

[Angry Waiter]

Good pics !

Thanks Steve!

Sounds like a good time, Pete. I love that first pic!

Thank you Barrett!

We could do with you down Leeds market Mitch! I'm glad you had a good time with your mates, that's the important thing

Good time all around Jack. My wife keeps threatening to take me to England for my 50th birthday. Should that happen I will try to call by on a Thursday.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and those who have the holiday today are enjoying it. Spent time this weekend making things for an upcoming market in addition to celebrating our anniversary. GL-24 has been a faithful companion through it all.
