Love that one David ^

At Lunch today at a nice Garden Bar Pub on the outskirts of town, had this gorgeous piece in my pocket, I kinda have a grin when I pull this knife to carry as I think of Barrett and him getting this over the line.

I am trying to think of a nick name for this one, either way I love it, Thanks again Barrett, and hats off to Eric.

Under shade so the true colours of the Polish Elevator Roller Micarta doesn't come out, it's a very nice carry.

Good morning Guardians, no time to catch up I'm afraid, but have a great weekend everyone Happy Australia Day to our Aussies, and have a very Happy Birthday Mitch

I love the spalted wood on that one, Steve.

I remember feeling like that reading Joyce!

I started reading Portrait of the Artist... at 19 (and I'd read just about anything at that age), and could stomach the prose I think I still have the unread copy!

I read (and enjoyed, from what I remember) some of the short stories from Dubliners when I was in college, but every time I’ve tried to read Ulysses (and I have tried a few times), I don’t think I’ve made it past page 5 or so.

We're getting a little bit of snow this morning, it won't amount to much but it makes for a pretty start to Friday. I hope you all have a good weekend, I'm going to try to make a chip butty Sunday for the football games, we'll see.

Nice pic of your Cosimo lamb, Pat!

Nice picture, Pat! Snow in Tennessee!!
Up here in the "Great White North" we haven't seen any snow this winter!!
In fact it's sunny and clear yet again today, and a few degrees above freezing!!
Is climate change real??

We’ve had plenty of cold weather here in MN (especially this past weekend! ), but very little snow.

Working from home means it’s a double lamb day! View attachment 2769441

Quite a duo there!

Yes, we barely had any snow last winter either and a pretty dry summer. The winter before that we had record snow

Great pics of Cassie there, Steve!

Surprise in the Mail!! Rufus1949 (Bob) sent me this beautiful Cosimo Barlow Lamb!!
Shocked, surprised and humbled about describes how I feel!! Thanks so much Bob!!
Very kind and generous of you!!
Many things I like about this knife are front and center!! Barlow, Rattail Bolster, Lambfoot blade, nice wood handles (natural materials for me!!) !!
A hint of Italy!! Ha Ha!!
Bob, you da man!! What more could I ask for!! - Nice creative slip!! It keeps on going!!!!

Wow! That’s a beauty, Charlie, and well deserved!

Nicely done, Bob!

The Barrett.
Something special for a special weekend. 26 January is Australia day and we get a public holiday. That's no the true reason for the public holiday it's Mitch's birthday, the government likes to keep it quiet else every 1 would want a public holiday on their birthday

Happy early birthday, Mitch (although I guess by this point it’s only a few hours away on your time)!

Very nice, Duncan. I’m glad you like the knife so much! I can only take a little credit; Eric did all the hard work!

Hello all!

Need to be more mindful of taking my lamb out so I have something to share. I noticed some of you have nicknames for yr knives and I wonder how those came about. Been thinking what to name mine o if it has to be named by someone else.

Have a great weekend!

Had to zoom in to check out all these knifes. Sweet photo! I dig it.

Keep showing that beauty David; one day someone will take the hint and make a modern version.

Duncan, it is a gem, and I hope you enjoyed your lunch.
It's interesting how a classic tool can put a smile on our face. At times, my wife will give me a strange look, as I ponder the provenance of a knife in hand.

I belonged to the Folio Society briefly. They would send you a book every month unless you asked them not to, and you had to buy two books before you could quit. Somewhere I must have the book that drew me in and the other book that got me out.

Who's the maker of that one ?

Cool Lamb !

Nice pic Duncan !




Have a great day buddy !



Thanks Barrett !

Nice Ken, and interesting bolster.

Thanks. I got lucky with my first one. After checking out all the different styles on here and over the last few ones. Definitely got a “looker” of a lamb.

Cool Lamb !

This one is a Daniels Family Farm, Napanoch Knife Company SFO. The seller said it didn’t sit right having a club knife, Slipjoint Exchange, and not being a part of a club. Too early in my Slipjoint journey to care how the knife came about. And I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Plus, I wanted to be part of this Guardians club.

Good morning Guardians I hope everyone has a great Saturday. Jack I hope your day ends better than it started.

That's some nice-looking stag Bob, and a very tasty-sounding meal

Cool pic Daniel

Good afternoon Guardians, I got up to no heating, or hot water, as there was a problem with my boiler, which always happens when it has been serviced recently. A pipe had uncoupled, and there was no pressure, but half-asleep at 6am, I managed to knock a casserole dish off the side, and onto my foot, before it smashed on the kitchen floor. Not a great start to the day, and we are in the middle of a storm here, with 58 mph winds, howling past Grumble Towers. I had to go into town for work, but was finished by early afternoon. I had some more waiting for me at home though, and am going to be busy for the next few days. I hope everyone is having a good day

I don't know what I was thinking of yesterday, this is by Howarth, not Baxter!
