Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Thank you very much Mark, I took advantage of this piece of street furniture ;) Not too bad thanks, I hope your was good too. Having ordered a bulk order of packaging for the Guardians knives, I'm rather tied to my house for the next couple of days, which has clipped my wings a bit, but hopefully it'll be alright in the end. I'm also hoping to have some news from Sheffield soon :) Have a good week my friend :thumbsup:

Love that chair! Reminds me of some furniture I surprised my wife with when we were newly married. (Never surprised her with furniture again!)

Prester John Prester John : I also meant to add my experience to your earlier question about horn as a cover material.

The weather here rarely drops below 0C/32f, with wet winters, and hot dry summers with usually a lot of days around 30C/85f, and a handful of days each year getting up to around 42C/108f. Although I have felt tiny dimensional changes over the time I’ve had the horn Guardians knife, and my golden Ox horn Lambsfoot knife, both of them are currently perfectly flush, as they were when they were new.

All I’ve done to treat them is apply a bit of mineral oil according to the old woodworkers’ rule of “once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, and once a year for life”.

Now, if I happen to have mineral oil left on my hands after oiling another knife, instead of wiping it off with a rag, I just wipe it on one of my horn handled knives.

I was quite surprised to hear of some of the drastic dimensional changes. I’ve taken a pic of my horn covered 2017 Guardian knife with an old horn handled Bunny knife with a known provenance, for comparison purposes. (Sorry, Jack, I don’t have a horn covered Lambsfoot that old.) I guess it’s 60s-70s era, so say it’s about 50 years old, and has probably not been carried and used regularly for at least 15 or 20 years. I doubt if the handles were ever oiled. There’s definitely been shrinkage of the material, but even so, on the mark side, you can see it’s fairly minimal. In fact, I’d venture to say, if it had been moisturised by being carried and used regularly in that time, the horn would be pretty close to the original dimensions.

Thanks, Chin. I may get a horn knife some day and see how it does. They do look nice.
 
So many beautiful and creative pictures from everyone, thanks all!!! And good to see Cambertree back again.
Nice old McClory Lambsfoot model from rockman0, and neat to see some pictures and information on that company from Jack.
Here is a comparison shot between an old Taylor "Eye Witness" Lambsfoot and a new Wright model.
The Taylor has a very slight taper on the blade, whereas the Wright is more pronounced.

LOL! :D It's quite out of place in an unassuming Yorkshire market town, but that kinds of adds to its coolness I think :) :thumbsup:

A tasteless Pear?? Is there such a thing?;) I find they have a fragrant and very juicy taste-unless you try an unripe one:eek: But, it should certainly blacken up that blade very well :cool: Get chopping! Malic acid really blues up carbon...

Yeah, it was terrible Will, like eating cardboard o_O Maybe it was a bit under ripe though :confused:
 
I carry a Lambsfoot...

Because Jack is a very generous man!!!

I couldn't wait to post that :cool:
Jack, thank you so very much. I am so excited to get to know my new Lambsfoot knife. First impressions are wonderful, now I get why everybody is so fond of them. It is a little pocket-sized BEAST of a knife. You can tell these were meant to be used. Thanks again for the very generous gift. I will be sure to post reviews in the coming days as I get to know my new knife better. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
