Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Beautiful stag on your HHB.

Good morning Guardians. Well, the tropical storm hit us yesterday and steadily increased in intensity last night and is still going strong this morning. Hoping we get a break later today of tonight. Come Wed I'll be heading to Germany for 3 weeks so I will probably be missing from the porch. Photo of the file work on my Senator

Nice Senator Bill. I hope you don't experience the damage that comes with those storms.
Enjoy your trip.

Forgot to post up this one yesterday. Took the boys down the street while mum was in bed after finishing night shift (always a mission with a 2, 4 & 6 yr old). Picked up some grapes from the supermarket and marshmallows. Cut up some grapes for the ride home. At home I candled up a fire and the boys cooked some marshmallows while I boiled the Billy

Sounds like fun Jack

Cooler days are finding their way here.
No phone or camera, but wandered around Washington Crossing Park. I enjoy seeing the homes and atmosphere of the times.

Cool pic Bob, sounds like a nice day

Evening all,
Did a Costco run this afternoon, so chicken for dinner.

Winner, winner!

Oh just a reminder Christmas is coming

Guardians of the Condiments GIVEAWAY!!

Unless you’ve slept through the last 100+ pages of this thread, you’ve likely been seeing a lot of the 2024 Guardians of the Lambsfoot knives made for us by Eric Albers. Many of you have been carrying yours and sharing pics here, which has been a real treat for me. I enjoyed getting to work on this project with Eric (he did all the real work, of course, making the knives), and I’m happy that everyone seems to like the knives.

While putting the Guardians knives together, Eric ended up with a couple extra GL-24 stamped liners, a result of breaks/voids in some pieces of the vintage Micarta that made them unfit for use. Since he couldn’t really use the stamped liners for anything else, I asked Eric if he might make a couple extra knives, in whatever handle material he’d like. He kindly agreed to do so. You could call them “Eric’s Choice” if you were so inclined.

When I first reached out and asked Eric to take on the Guardians project, I had some initial (admittedly self-indulgent and far-fetched) ideas of tying the knives into the whole Guardians of the Condiments thing. I looked at some pretty out-there handle materials, including an orange and black (Henderson’s Relish colors) patterned G10 that was particularly wild. In the end we obviously went a different way, and I think the vintage Polish Micarta turned out to be a much better (and less polarizing) choice.

Now I doubt that Eric had any of that in mind when he chose the materials for the two “bonus” knives that he made (he probably doesn’t even remember me rambling on about the Guardians of the Condiments in my early emails). But he did send me two knives that, to my eye, at least, definitely have a bit of a condiment-adjacent theme to them.

Eric referred to these as Cranberry Jigged Bone and Brown/Green Stag Jigged Bone, but I think I’m going to call them “Cranberry Relish Jigged Bone” (a nod to one of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes from my grandma) and “Pickle Bone” (because how could I call that one anything else?).

I hope that y’all won’t begrudge me the decision to hang on to one of these knives myself, and my 4-year-old daughter Scout made it pretty clear that she wanted me to keep the Pickle Bone Lambsfoot, so I’m going with that one.

That means that the Cranberry Relish Lambsfoot will be going to one lucky Guardian, because this is a giveaway! The rules are pretty simple:

— You need to have at least 25 posts (prior to this post) in the Guardians thread to qualify. You’re welcome to enter on behalf of another Guardian, but they must meet the post requirement.

— Let me know that you are in for the GAW, and post a condiment-themed Lambsfoot photo.

— I’ll let this go until some time Sunday afternoon (Sept. 22) to give everyone enough time to see this and enter.

— Sometime around the middle of the week I’ll probably post an update with an opportunity for a second entry in the GAW.

— And finally, I would ask that whoever wins this knife please keep it within the Guardians group if you ever decide to move it along. I think it goes without saying in this group, but please don’t enter with the intent of selling/profiting off the knife.

So let’s see your favorite hot sauces, BBQ sauces, mustards, chili crisp, Henderson’s relish, or whatever other condiments you like (along with a Lambsfoot knife, of course). Have fun with it, get creative, and thanks again for such a great reception to the 2024 Guardians knives!

Barrett is at it again. VERY thoughtful give away. Sweet lamb.
I will say kudos to you and the eventual winner. Looking forward to seeing the responses from the bleachers once again, good luck porchsters.

You are the gift that keeps on giving Barrett! The GL-24 is a wonderful tale of your selfless efforts to get everyone a new 'club knife', and this giveaway is the icing on the cake. These two unique knives are the icing on the cake, and the winner of your generous giveaway will have something truly special Thank you my friend, and well done

Thank you for all your condiment-related recommendations, and gifts, over the years If it is acceptable, and accepted, I'd like to enter on behalf of Generous Bob if I may Good luck to everyone who enters

I have many condiments which go with chips, not least the sacred Henderson's Relish, but if I they are proper chips, I prefer nothing more than simple old sea salt and malt vinegar

Good morning Guardians. Not posting much lately, just checking in and thought I’d throw in a photo of CB. Cool GAW Barrett btb01 !
