Safe travels. Great burl on the scales.Good morning from Dallas, Guardians. Starting a business trip to the west coast today. Heading out to the PNW, not quite as far north or west aswaynorth territory though. Here’s the Box Elder in the golden hour last evening.

Thanks buddy!
Juuuuuust curious, how many of these were made?I'm ready to get the weekend started, we're not doing anything special just some piddling around the house. I need to put a new edge on the Barrett lamb.. or at least a quick strop.
haha nice, thanks Patrick.
Looks like you need to be concentrating on getting some other things aligned here too Jack!Good morning Guardians, getting to the end of the week now, and I hope everyone has had a good one

, although I’ve no doubt some others feel the same? 
Nice to see your comparison of such fine examples. Charlie did a wonderful job, keeping the essence of the old lambs.Looks like you need to be concentrating on getting some other things aligned here too Jack!

The Lords Of Livestock shone their light on me this week…
I can’t say here’s the Old v New, as both are relatively new. Nor can I say here’s the OG v’s the New Pup(Lamb).. as even though the bottom is a take on the top, I was heavily influenced by the the bottom while I was re-profiling/ modding the top!
From my experience only
It is a shame that to get anything close to the build quality of a production GEC you have to go custom here in the U.K., and even then it’s to be the right custom maker!
This A Wright Large Lambsfoot has a wonderful snap after a smooth walk but Heavens above was the fit and finish shocking!
Finish, sure can be fettled up DIY style but fit is a harder thing to sort out.
I say on their more expensive “premium” line they should spend less time fancying them up with a file, “finer” cover materials, blasting on the polishing wheel and more time just getting the basics actually right! There I said it..
Almost
Very nice, Dan! Congratulations on that beauty.
Thanks Barrett!Nice shot of your Ebony Waynorth Lamb, Pete!
Stunner!I had a pretty good mail day today.I hope a lot of these beauties find their way into Guardians’ hands!
Very cool Paul. Great to have a sharp table top knife.
lol. We made it to Friday buddyCool picture, Pete. Almost at the halfway point
Nice ebony Pete.
If you call in sick, it could be.

Thanks, its pretty close considering I only had web photos to go from but they were pretty close to start with, just material removal from the A Wright.
, leaving us here with cap in hand and jaw on floor!!Thanks! It's far from perfect but its simple enough if you just take your time with the correct tools and equipment. Can certainly bump up the look and feel of a knife.Nice pair and great job on the fluted bolster. I've thought about doing the same on a couple of mine.
Very nice ! I'm carrying mine today as well
I wouldn't eat it myself mate, I love the real stuff! :dThanks Jack
You pagan, red liquorice
Sounds intriguing doc!
I was up a bit late doing a self-medical exam. I have real doctors, but this was free through work, so WTC. ('What the consortium') I'm trying to cut down on swearing.))
And I had naively thought myself to have supped full of horrors already.
I did get a free tailor's tape measure out of it.
Me neither Steve, arms like ham hocks, and tabards taken from the Knight's Templar!
Thanks palCool picture Jack !
