Sweet David

Visiting my son and family in Wisconsin. Took a walk to a local coffee shop yesterday and ran into a group of turkeys. Not exactly in the middle of the city, but a good distance from the outskirts. Sorry, somehow inserted 2 of the second image and can't seem to get rid of it.

That was almost my choice today

I think I have 7 photos above, the first 5 of which seem kind of unusual to me in that the knives have handle shapes that were not very common to lambsfoot knives a few years ago when I was a regular participant here. Almost all of the lambsfoots I recall from "the old days" had swayback handles, except for Wright's senator pattern and Jack Black 's Harthead Barlow (examples in the last 2 photos above).
Is there a consensus among the Guardians about which handle shape(s) work best with lambsfoot blades??

I still think Swayback

Thanks for the Buddy Holly trivia, Leon & Jack!
Coincidentally, the day Leon made his birthday post about Buddy Holly, I had listened to one of his hit songs, "Rave On", except what I heard was a cover done by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band:

Am I being presumptuous? Perhaps - and yet I'll go ahead and offer "swayback" anyhow.

Edited to say that the teardrop, a la Titusville's Old Man Jack, works fine for me but aesthetically, I'd still prefer some sway.

For me, the difference in use is most pronounced in tasks such as slicing a cucumber on a cutting board. With a well-engineered and executed swayback, I can take a pinch grip on the knife's pivot and cut straight down to the board. With a teardrop, and some other non-swayback handles, I'll find I need to cut straight down, and then pull the tip through the material towards me in order to get all the way through.



Thanks, GT!

Cool photo of GL-24 and cat, Patrick!
Is that a photo of your knife on a photo of the cat, or some kind of Photoshop magic that merges 2 separate photos, or what?
I like to try to add knives to other photos I have, but with the limited software available to me, it's a very tedious and time-consuming process in which I strip the background from a knife photo as well as I can, then resize that "pure knife" and paste it onto the "target photo" (of cat or car or castle etc.).

Thanks GT! The knife in the photo is actually a sticker from the iPhone photo editor added to a pic of the cat. You can create stickers by long pressing on figures in photos which can then be added to other photos. It's just having a little bit of fun and magic with photos!

Lamb content.

Was rudely awoken early this morning by a band of city-employed ne'er-do-wells assaulting the local flora (and peace) with chainsaws and a chipper shredder. You haven't lived until you've seen three incredibly fat men, with no insight at all into arboreal affairs, with chainsaws up a Bulletwood tree arguing with each other in Spanish, let me tell you. I must admit, it would have been quite entertaining had it not been so early. They were apparently arguing about money, as one word I could pick out (my Spanish is awful, but I'm ok with that) repeatedly throughout the argument was "dinero." I think I need a nap.

Packed this C. Johnson Western Works lamb over to my dad's place for my ongoing cat-feeding commitment. The Afternoon Storm (there's one daily this time of year - probably why the inconsiderate fatties were trimming so early) was rolling in, hence the weird light.

Y'all like pile sides around here?

Thank you Jack. I hope you had a successful day in Bradford.

Thanks Bob, it's gone well. Unfortunately, I have to go over tomorrow to wrap it up, but I'm going to get up extra early, so that I can call in the market for an hour or so first

Do you think one of those guys was called Manuel Labor?! Sorry to hear about your early wake-up call buddy, that must have been incredibly annoying I get the same thing here, sometimes, and it's hard to believe anyone can be so inconsiderate at that time of the morning That is some stellar stag

A £5 note has been my go to bookmark for a few years, although the one I use is one of the newer, plasticky ones with a little clear window in it.

They're making money pretty fancy these days, aren't they?!

Hope you're all having a great day!

Pile Side.
