Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Fodderwing]

wiring distributor caps, hoses, etc if you're into that sort of thing

I'm into that sort of thing.

and most importantly, there were cheese curds.

Mouth watering...

Happy Tewsday Guardians !

Leon, I just measured 3 of my lambsfoots and I'm obviously thinking of Cracker Jack as being smaller than he really is.
(My daughter thinks of me this way; she often buys me t-shirts that are "medium" when I typically get "large" for myself.)
I measured Cracker Jack, my Ashley's Choice stag lambsfoot at 3 1/4" closed (which is 3/8" longer than a Case Peanut).
Union Jack, an A. Wright & Son rosewood lambsfoot purchased by my wife and daughter in York, England, is 3 1/2" closed.
LamBarJack, my rosewood Hartshead Barlow, is 3 11/16" closed.

So Cracker Jack is smaller than all my other lambsfoots, but not nearly as small as a Peanut in actual length.
I'll try to get a comparison shot "processed" and posted tomorrow. Here's the best I can do with an old "flock foto"; not sure how much size info you can get from it.

Stunning pieces my friend, Wrights did some nice work not too long ago.

They were toiling under Jack's whip at that time...

Great looking swedge on that blade !

 

[black mamba]

Dwight, is that KnifeHead lamb a new build? Looks great!

No drama, it just sounded small when you mentioned peanut. I was interested in having a peanut sized Lamb in my pocket.

 

[cudgee]

You have me drooling over here

That looks delicious Leon!

My kinda breakfast

' Twas good. Need a good breakfast to set yourself up for the day. That's my excuse anyway.

I agree. I’m an egg eating machine. “ I can eat 50 eggs.”

Hopefully 2025 will be the year of a second run

We can live in hope

Getting some fresh air today

Sweet pic of your old friend Ken

Afternoon Guardians! Got a favorite Lamb today. Been to doctors, pharmacy and got my mail. I'm almost exhausted. Later.

Sounds like an industrious day David, I hope you were able to squeeze in a nap Nice to see your Hartshead Barlow in Rosewood

I have a knife that looks very much like this one. I also have a similar one that says J Milner & co Sheffield England that has 2 blades. This is my first post here and I am still trying to figure it out. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing. I’m still trying to figure out how to post and post pictures.

Welcome to Bladeforums Mike, be sure to read post 1 please. It contains some links that will, hopefully, help you find your way around. I also have a Milner, a rather battered one, but it just has the single blade

I appreciate that response Bob. I am currently reading some threads and I just downloaded an app called Imgur. Thanks again.

Mike

I also read it’s not a good idea to learn how to post on this thread. I apologize for this, I will learn how it’s done.

That's right Mike, if you go to the first post here, you'll find a link to a thread you can practice posting pics in, and get any advice you need

Bonus picture of the day

Classic Sheffield jigging

That's the reason the link is there Mike, and the Technical sub-forum in general. Imgur will give you the code in order to post a PHOTO (not a link) here, you need to go to that other thread to sort that out, rather than trying to post here. I used Imgur for a couple of years, but had some problems with it a while back, so I'm afraid I can't direct you to the code, but others will help you in the Technical forum. I'm currently using postimage to post pics, and find it very straightforward

Thank you. I will share more information about them when I can figure how to create my own post. I dont want to offend anyone by posting on their post.

Thank you for that consideration Looking forward to seeing, and hearing, about your Lambsfoot knives in due course

A lamb in clover is a happy lamb indeed!

Nice start to the day mate

Another day, another couple of pics of Cracker Jack, the lambsfoot I'm carrying all week.
Some of you may not know why I call my Ashley's Choice lambsfoot Cracker Jack.
1) It's smaller than my other lambsfoots, almost as small as a Case peanut.
2) The stag on the pile side has what is often called popcorn.
A special treat when I was a lad was Cracker Jack, a mixture of (carmel-coated) popcorn and (very few) peanuts.
"Crackerjack" is also a term sometimes used to refer to something of high quality, such as a crackerjack sports car or a crackerjack eye surgeon.
So my high quality Ashley's Choice Lambsfoot with popcorn stag and a size somewhat similar to a Peanut certainly deserved the name Cracker Jack! Here's a couple of photos of Cracker Jack with a box of the old-fashioned treat.

I think there's only an 1/8" difference in blade length, but the AC is a noticeably smaller knife, in hand (and pocket), I think. Nice to see that photo again

Too right, had to crack it a lot too! I don't think they've worked that hard since!

I love it.



That looks delicious Leon!

Wonderful scene buddy

Bob kindly updated me recently, I think he has his hands full at the moment. I hope we're going to see him back soon

Good morning Guardians, how is everyone? I was working on a project last night, when I got an old girlfriend, in Ireland, gave me a call. Boy, can that woman talk?! She was on the phone for an hour and a half, then went to take another call, but rang me back 5 minutes later, and was talking for another hour! Glad she's doing OK, but I didn't have time to call in here, or work on my project. It was midnight before I got to bed. I'll have to continue with that today, but I'm hoping to meet up with Wolfie for a coffee at some point, and I do need to go into town to buy some groceries. What a busy life eh?! Still in love with this GL-24 Have a great day Guardians

 

[Rufus1949]

I love it.

Now that is isolation!!

There is some WOW factor in that lamb Jack.

Thanks Bob, Eric did a first rate job, I wonder if we'll ever find out how the micarta was originally used

Thanks Bob, Eric did a first rate job, I wonder if we'll ever find out how the micarta was originally used

I pulled up schematics of early elevators, which had areas where that roll of micarta could have been used.
I have also read, that it was used early on, for electrical insulation.
