Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[echoscout]

My apologies I thought it was universal language. Flake is shark.

What do you call shark on your side of the pond?

As a land bound flat lander there are no sharks about.

Beautiful shot , really highlights the jigging !

Sitting outside so the dogs can run around (they'll just sit by the door if no humans come out with them) so we decided to burn a log or two.

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

I’ve got clucky hens at the moment, 4 of my 7 hens in fact. So I let them sit some eggs, checked it a couple days back and one was struggling to get out. We’ve been breeding chickens for a few years now and I think I’m good at calling when it’s a lost cause.

They typically peck a hole and work their way around the egg. When they make it back to the original hole they can break out. Sometimes it just pecks a widening hole on one side of the egg, the membrane dries and they can’t break out.

For anyone who hasn’t done an assisted hatching, you can’t simply break open the egg, the blood vessels attached to the inner membrane will rupture and the chick will bleed out (ask me how I know ).
It’s time consuming but you need to chip away at the shell, then carefully remove the outer membrane without nicking the inner membrane.
Sometimes it requires a little help then it’ll do the rest. This guy I noticed the evening before struggling so by morning it was running out of energy and the membrane was dry. Eventually I got it out, put it under the hen and a couple days later here it is

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

It was made by Cosimo De Bendetto Dave, and the result of a very generous offer by Bob Rufus1949 to sponsor a commission. It is carbon steel throughout, with ram's horn covers

So carbon bolsters as well?

If so I'm in good taste, I've asked for the same on mine.

It's interesting times. If you want a well made classic english knife, go to Italy!

Interesting story, and a cool pic Jack GL-24s are popular today

Yep, same as my Hartshead Barlow. 'All Iron', as they say in Sheffield Nice choice mate

Yeah, strange world

Good morning Guardians, Wolfie just texted me to say his youngest has a temperature of 38.5. Not sure what that is in real money, but it sounds high. With 3 schoolage kids, their household always seems to be overcome with some bug, flu, or virus. Schoolkids have killed more folks than bubonic plague! Hope it's not that anyway, and that Idris is soon playing football again The wind has died here, but it's still a miserable start to the day. My plans were to meet Wolfie, but I don't think that'll be happening. I still need to go into town though, so reckon I'll call in at Charlie's, and say Hi to everyone. Hope you all have a good day Guardians

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

Beautiful knife. I will look out for Cosimo De Bendetto’s work!

There are some spectacular lambs in this thread if you’ve not seen it.

Another good knife-maker from Italy !
I'm pretty sure that his style will be appreciated here

You’ve got me there mate

Once our kids are pushing toward 38 they’re usually fairly sick. 38.5C and they’re pretty miserable.

Kindergarten is a revolving door of sickness it seems. My eldest at 6 has a strong immune system, the 4 and 2 year old are still working on theirs.

What do do you call a Cadbury Flake? Disappointing!

Wear a mask if you do meet Wolfie!

These are boot-covers. I don't think you can breathe through them.

I got the big star up yesterday, and four wreathes and two electric candle lights. I have a couple wreathes extra, so I'll hang one horizontally from the bat-sock hooks and plug it into the porch light sconce.

Poor old Idris, hope he's recovered soon. Yeah, there always seems to be one of Wolfie's kids who has something, and Matt's kids are the same

Thanks Jack.

LOL! You're right there Mitch, I could never understand why those models got so excited about them!

Yeah, I'll be sure to keep my distance from the germy git! It's always a treat to see your Space Lamb

I've been to the Iranians for a haircut, and gone Vietnamese for lunch

Nice to relax occasionally Jack.
Enjoy.

Some much needed rain today.

Does anyone have thoughts, opinion or information on “Taylor's Eye Witness Sheffield Premium” Lambsfoot knives? There are a few for sale on AAPK seller pages. The one w Buffalo Horn covers looks pretty nice. Blade shape looks right if not the most aggressive lambsfoot I’ve seen.
