So glad one made it to the far north. Congradulation Jacob.It took some time for the knife to reach Iceland as it not only had to cross the big pond but also pass through Waynorths French connection
I haven't found much time to enjoy it yet (I've only opened a bag of sweets for the kids with it) but it'll be getting the due pocket time next week and onwards.

I don't know why but I had assumed they'd come without the halfstop. It was a shocker to open it haha.
Both releases are fantastic additions, but the first Jigged Bone 2019 release has the history of being the first production Lambsfoot made in America as far as we know. With all the health issues at the time the 2019 is just such a special knife and treasured by all who were fortunate enough to get one.I'm just super interested in owners opinions as they both are such great Knives.
Nice David. Very hard not to give it pocket time.
Looking good DaveCold Saturday morning sunshine on the desert ironwood in Dallas, Guardians! Happy weekend, friends.

Most of my friends work in healthcare, and I have had so many opinions about my head injury! I bumped into a couple of nurses I know, and they were shocked, like everyone else, and insisted I go to a local healthcare centre to get it looked at, and properly dressed. I caught a taxi there, but it turns out they didn't have a nurse, or anyone who could dress wounds, or even any dressing! Some healthcare centre eh?!I headed back into town, as per my original mission, and went to one of the larger pharmacies, but they couldn't fill my prescription, so I had to go to another. They didn't have the dressings in stock, but said they could order them in for Monday, which seems to be the best I'm going to get - assuming they turn up!

Seems that a few Guardians have been sick or have ongoing health issues myself included. So for JackJack Black , Will
birdsbeaks , myself and any I haven't specifically mentioned who are dealing with illness, injury, or their respective health care systems, I offer the following vid of wisdom which is either "endeavor to persevere" or "declare war". Either may be correct and/or appropriate given the specific situation
Meanwhile you'd better boil some underwear.They didn't have the dressings in stock, but said they could order them in for Monday, which seems to be the best I'm going to get - assuming they turn up!![]()
Oh Mate!!!Good morning Guardians, this post has nothing to do with Lambsfoot knives, so please feel free to skip it. My reason for posting it here is simply so I don't have to keep repeating parts of the story, in dribs and drabs. Plenty of folks here got bigger problems, so I'm not asking for sympathy, nor legal/medical opinions, or anger please. I sent out this text (below) to some friends this morning, by way of explanation, and I've had people on the phone ever since, who clearly hadn't read the textKeeping the pic to a thumbnail, but don't click on it if you're squeamish or have just had breakfast
"The next time you see me, you're probably going to get a shock, so I'm writing this as an explanation, why I haven't been around so much the past couple of weeks, and why I may not be around as much in the next couple of months. At least 15 years ago, I noticed a small discoloured area of skin close to the front of my hairline. Because of it's location, I wasn't sure how long it had been there, or even if it had always been there. I spoke to my GP about it, and he said it was nothing to worry about. Other doctors I've seen have given the same opinion. Recently, I saw a dentist who noticed it, and she referred me to the hospital. When I attended the appointment, the surgeon I spoke to also told me that he wasn't concerned about the area of skin. However, he suggested I might consider a simple operation to have it removed, so that it could be better studied. He told me that the surgery would involve a single incision, and he would bring skin forward to cover the area, leaving a small, neat scar. I would feel some tightness of the scalp for a week or two, but that would be that. I consented. Unfortunately, when I went for the surgery, things went very differently. It was performed by a different surgeon, in a different part of the hospital, and in a very different manner. I was unaware of what was being done to me, but left hospital with a circular dressing stapled to the front of my forehead. I was not very happy about this, nor the fact I couldn't wash my hair, or have it cut until the staples, and the dressing were removed a week later. That was yesterday, and I was absolutely shocked when I saw what had been done to me. There is a deep, gaping, open wound in the front of my forehead, which I have to try and dress myself (2 nurses struggled). I cannot wash or have my hair cut for at least another month, or get the wound wet in any way, and I just have to hope it doesn't get dirty or infected. In a month or so, I can look forward to having a large scab over the area, as the skin, hopefully, begins to heal. Then, there may be more surgery. I have been left both upset and angry by what has been done to me, which I regard as assault. Unfortunately, because of my vulnerable condition, I may not be around so much, or able to attend events, while my head wound heals."
Got a busy day today, unfortunately, but back to normal service shortly, hopefully

Oh Mate!!!
Jack I didn't see this, I haven't been here in the last week- just popping in and out, dealing with news of a very close work mate's death, - a guy who I have known for 40 years, it's terrible as he died Saturday, and his 40th Wedding Anniversary was Sunday, I can still see him now chuckling over his Grandchildrens photos- showing me all the time, he was going to retire in 2 years - I'm gutted for him and family, just terribly robbed
This is terrible!- have you had a Doctor look at this at all Jack to get you in care asap?
I am so sorry that you are going through this, I am really angry for you my friend!![]()
