Nice post.

Here's my first glimpse of a stag lambsfoot in this session. Intriguing pic, to say the least, Vince, but what makes that DC lawyer so honest?? :confused::thumbsup::thumbsup:

At first I thought "DC" meant "decapitated", but I think maybe you are confusing St Paul's Cathedral for our national capitol building. That's a souvenir pub sign a friend brought me from London.
To answer your question, the only honest lawyer is a .... well, you can fill in the blank! ;)
We also got a "pub sign" for "The Quiet Woman".

I'm a Guardian who takes seriously the discipline/profane tongue-lashings of our Sergeant Major! :eek::(
If it's lambsfoot content Jack wants, then that's what he'll have!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::rolleyes: Here are some of the "firstfruits" of my lambsfoot harvest as I examined my unread pages in this thread.

Here's the first ebony lambsfoot I encountered as I made my way through the 7 pages I'd fallen behind. Thanks, FBC! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Here's the first (and only possible) 2019 ironwood Guardians knife I ran across as I caught up. Irresistible Ironwood, Jack! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

Here's the first ironwood large lambsfoot I encountered (and also one of a kind??). Immaculate ironwood mod, Ron, and in answer to your (probably rhetorical) question, you are certainly blameless!! :cool::thumbsup:;)


Here's the first 2018 Guardians Ebony Lambsfoot that showed up for me today. Great pics, Mike; the Founders Dirty Bastard is a tasty beverage, and ebony and garlic look surprisingly fantastic together! :D:cool::thumbsup:


Here's the first rosewood lambsfoot I noticed in the pages I perused today. Thanks for posting that "all-business" version, Jack! :cool::thumbsup::cool: Yes, it would be great to see Greg around more often. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Thanks for the Cracker Jack compliment. :)


Here's the first horn lambsfoot I saw in this thread today. Cool pic, @M.Hatch! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:



May I assume that member is feeling better now than he did 40 years ago? ;):D:D


Thanks, peanutsxx peanutsxx ! :) Apparently the surgery had some surprises, but so far so good! :thumbsup::thumbsup:


Well-said, Dave! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Thanks, Dwight. :) Great to have him back in my pocket! :thumbsup::thumbsup:


Jack's lengthy post and Ron's quoted here are both fascinating! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: I'd never heard of Winchester lambsfoots before.



Sounds very interesting to me, Jack. :cool::cool::thumbsup: Might be even more intriguing to attach a set of instructions to Arthur and cast him into the sea! What an adventure THAT could be! :eek::D


:D:thumbsup::thumbsup:


Dave, I hope you can find something to give you some relief from the pain in your knee.
That's an awesome photo of the book with your AC!! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
OM. OM. OM. can be replaced by LAMB. LAMB. LAMB. for your meditative pleasure. :D



That WOULD be kind of fun, John, although if many people are like me (as Jack apparently is :D:thumbsup:), it could lead to massive sensory overload! :rolleyes:


Barrett, my Dad would say you're a "glutton for punishment"! :eek::eek::p (We're under orders to increase lambsfoot content, so I'll modify my Dad's remark to "mutton for punishment".)

There's a pub of that name in a small town on the edge of West Yorkshire. I was out hiking that way, and thought I'd call in for a pint. I have to say, it may well be the worst pub in Yorkshire, and the worst beer I've ever tasted in a pub anywhere! o_O They should sell the sign, and burn the pub down! :rolleyes:

Rex is on the lookout for Arthur. He's very protective.

Good Morning Guardians! A couple weeks back I was complaining about a really sore knee. Forgive me but I don't remember who recommended the book Somatics, then again it might have been
peanutsxx :confused::thumbsup:
The library brought it in for me. I will admit reading and following through with this sort of thing is like pulling a cat through a picket fence.:eek:;)
I will give it a go, the real motivation is the pain I'm dealing with and just maybe I will get some relief.

I hope that get some useful information from it, Dave! :thumbsup: I can relate to the cat -- nice illustration. :eek:
 
Riddle me this. Given how easy it is to sharpen a straight edge, as well as the cutting advantages a straight edge provides, why did some lambsfoot knife owners convert their knives into quasi-spearpoints?

Was it simply carelessness? A lack of sharpening ability? Or did they sharpen their knives this way on purpose?​

If anyone knows, I'm sure it's Jack. I would guess poor sharpening ability.
 
As a stockman proponent, I might be as big a sheepfoot fancier as you'll find about. When I got my RALF, I was highly impressed with the ergonomics in both use and the pocket, and just the outright joy in using my lambfoot. Just a terrific pattern. As they say in boxing, "He punches above his weight!"

Here's RALF enjoying a bit of sunshine before this weekend's snow storm.
