Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[cudgee]

very much enjoyed seeing my new Lamb

And i'm sure it will get a lot of airplay here and we will get to see a lot more of it.

Good luck to your team Mitch.

Thanks Bob.
Although I'm not a fan of the pre match entertainment, Katy Perry. I read she is getting $5 million for 5 songs

Ah my mate generous Bob has done it again. Very cool of you Bob
fantastic looking lamb Jack.

Thank you Mitch

That is a beauty, Jack! If we could hit two buttons that one would get a "love" and a "wow".

Thanks Dan

We were from over the ditch from the Emerald Isle. Home of the Shamrock, and land of no snakes thanks to Saint Paddy.

I have a lot of London-Irish mates, who grew up in London in the 50's and 60's Wolfie's folks were Irish, but he grew up in Essex

I'm enjoying seeing your new Lamb also!

Thank you David, I hope I can get some decent pics at some point Definitely going to be in my pocket tomorrow!

I'd sing a dozen for that!

I'd sing a dozen for that!

It's probably more. I bet the AFL is paying for flights & accommodation. The teams couldn't train on the ground Thursday. As Katy needed to do rehearsals. As 1 coach said good to see the AFL has got it's priorities right

Still no jigged bone GL-24: the hurricane has obviously slowed up the mail service. I had two packages that tracked as expected delivery on Thursday, but still did not arrive today. Hopefully tomorrow!

Very shortly after I made my last post, a piece of perfection arrived at the door, in the form of a long-anticipated package, or rather its contents Some time ago, Generous Bob contacted me, and offered to sponsor a Lambsfoot made by our friend Cosimo de Bendetto of Italy, with my choice of design and materials. I was left speechless by the generosity, but in due course, the 3 of us embarked on this project. I took a month or two to think about what I would like to see, and then put forward my proposition to Cosimo, my Dream Lambsfoot. I was very exacting in what I specified, but Cosimo did not flinch for an instant. For example, I wanted the Triple Rattail bolsters to be perfect, and Dwight @Fodderwing very kindly assisted by taking some fantastic photos of 2 of his knives. I was very happy with Cosimo's K720 Bohler carbon steel, but asked if he could also use that for the liners and bolster, as well as the blade. The frame is a little bit larger than Eric Alber's, but smaller than the one I've seen on Cosimo's other Lambsfoot knives. It has a beautiful amount of sway, and fits my hand perfectly. The knife has the perfect amount of weight to it. The Lambsfoot blade is perfection itself, with lovely swedges, and a well-placed, nail-nick. There is a half-stop, and the pull is just right. As you can see from the photos, the covers are ram's horn, something I had always wanted to see on a Lambsfoot, but without their natural character completely polished away. What a knife! My deepest thanks to Bob for making this possible, and for encouraging me out of my complacency, and to Cosimo for his wonderful work. I also hope that Cosimo enjoyed the project, because he really did an amazing job, and was very easy to communicate with, despite the language barrier between us. I love the fact he has a Lambsfoot image on his business card

Some hastily-taken photos, and I hope to get better ones soon

What a beauty mate, that’s one to treasure.

You are a true gentleman Bob

Good morning guardians, a couple of friends and I camped out at my families hut. Although my father sold the small family farm a couple of years ago he kept 50 acres to run a few cattle and camp at whenever anyone wants to get away. We’ve got a small hut, no electricity so it’s all cooking over coals and lighting by candles. I love it that way.
Took the GL-24 with me.

That sounds like a perfect getaway Jack. Hope you and your Pals have a great time.
Is there time to hunt?

We did have time for an afternoon hunt and I suggested it, one friend was keen while the other just wanted to sit by the fire and drink beer. It was an all or none proposition so we didn’t bother.

Hopefully USPS has them holed up somewhere dry. I’m sure they’ll get there safe and sound soon enough. Sounds like the worst of the weather missed you, which is good.

Life is still throwing haymakers but I’m still kicking. Got a lot going on but still always have a lamb with me. Have the GL24 tonight for my shift.

keep swinging, Paul.

My friends I must apologise for my absence, weird isn’t it? When I am drawn away from my most loved place I feel I have apologise.
Huge tasks not giving me much playtime.

I want to reach out to our good friend and well liked Bladeforums member Barrett btb01

Obviously a LOT of work having gone into this project with Barrett starting this up with Eric Albers and putting his neck out to have the numbers made to then distribute.
That would have been quite huge. Jack and Charlie would know this all too well!
So my hat off to you Barrett my friend, thanks go out to our friend Jack too of course who I can truly say inspires us greatly, and to Eric to thank him for the Craftsman side of things and allowing some of us to have a taste of his magnificence.

As well, a thank you to my fellow Guardians. Thank you for being some of the internets nicer people - the World needs more of you.

This arrived not so long ago, I consider myself very lucky and privileged.

Just look at the thought having gone into this by Barrett !

Great idea Pete, cheers buddy

Thank you sir.

Black Friday.
