Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Rufus1949]

Cheers buddy !

Sweet Horn !

Thanks sir.

 

[black mamba]

some of you have nicknames for yr knives and I wonder how those came about

I don't know for sure, but I may have been the first to start naming my lambs. After receiving my first lambsfoot, the 2018 Guardians' ebony, I was completely taken with the pattern and the camaraderie of the Guardians. I noticed the etching on the blade, "REAL LAMB FOOT" and said to myself, "This is a Real A$$ Lamb Foot knife," and taking the first letters it became R A L F. Been calling him "RALF" ever since.

Once I started naming them, I couldn't stop, as all of them are special to me. So . . .

My blue rope jigged bone Albers became "Roper."

My cranberry relish jigged bone Albers became "Berry."

My stag Damascus lamb was a gift from Modoc ED, who was a navy man. He included some cowry shells from Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, so became "Diego."

My F. Benini custom stag lambsfoot became "Beni."

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 Birthday, Mitch!

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.

That made me laugh, because I've only read the the first five pages of Ulysses, too. And yet, every time I've seen someone drop a quote from it in a book or article, I recognize it. Because I think 99.9% of readers never make it past page five.

Love that one David ^

Thank you kindly buddy

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.

Those GL-24 sure are nice

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

Nice stag on Ethan !

Eyup Shepherds, it’s been a while.

I ventured out with my fettled-up 4” AWright this afternoon to catch the sunset and a little bit of frostbite.

Sheffield just over the horizon (last pic)

This may well have been the last ever 4 inch Arthur Wright Lambsfoot for sale! I’ve not seen a single one since? Does anyone know if they’re discontinued?

Nice pictures ! There is a dealer over here in the states that still gets them from A.Wright.

Good Saturday. A bit overcast here in Santa Cruz. Hoping for some rain. Took out N. 9 for a picture.

#9 is a dream

Ethan is the pathfinder.

Is that Ethan, as in John Wayne's character in The Searchers?

Thank you Jack

I love the spalted wood on that one, Steve.

Nice pic of your Cosimo lamb, Pat!



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



Quite a duo there!



Great pics of Cassie there, Steve!



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

Nicely done, Bob!



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!

Thank you Barrett.

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!

Ken

Ken.
That's easy I name the knives that were gifted to me. Reminds me of the person every time I carry it.

Eyup Shepherds, it’s been a while.

Nice,
As far as I know they are, still available from the dealer here.

Thanks Tyson
I am waiting for my Ulysses quote too

Happy birthday and happy Australia Day Mitch

I’m convinced Cosimo is some sort of wizard.

Happy birthday and happy Australia Mitch

Thanks brother!
Have a great day.

Is that Ethan, as in John Wayne's character in The Searchers?

Yes sir, that was part of it. There was the colonial and biblical part of the name that influenced my decision also.

 

[cudgee]

My cranberry relish jigged bone Albers became "Berry."

" Numero Uno " would also be most appropriate for that magnificent piece of craftmanship. An outstanding Lambsfoot.
