I like the easy open on this. And no nail nick which I like. I like the micarta too. I tried to etch a smile on the skull. Oh well. It makes me laugh now…

How dare you?Most sheepish salutations, fellow Guardians.
What began as a seemingly harmless foray back into moderns (I had to cut the end off of an old, tough, and crusty garden hose for my old, tough, and crusty neighbor; Joan - and had no desire to subject the Flat Cap lamb in my pocket to such coarse and indelicate work...) evolved into a full-bore hiatus from traditional knives in general!But I'm back, and that's what matters!
Economy of movement. Bruce Lee talked about it in terms of physical conflict and its importance in determining the outcome of a fight. The climate in S. Florida lately has been such that one feels as though they are locked in mortal combat with the very atmosphere itself. It's as though the kind, benevolent force that made our lives possible has shifted into an abusive, antagonistic warlock bent on our experiencing ever new forms of misery, or uncomfortability at least.
In a fight like this (Rufus1949 might want to listen up here...), economy of movement is often the deciding factor. My strategy is to try to move as little as is possible - unfortunately, this includes refraining from activities such as arranging photos, hefting a camera, breathing, going outside, looking at a phone, and other activities that people in more civilized climates take for granted. In fact, at this very moment, I'm carefully weighing how much cooling potential there is in a cold beverage against how much internal heat will be generated by the act of going to get it. I haven't come to a conclusion that I'm comfortable with yet.
Anyhow, here she is! Tilly - the lamb that DIDN'T cut the garden hose. I'm certain she could've if she'd wanted to...

but Imgur is giving me fits in trying to get pics to post here.
I have had this issue with them for well over 6 months now. I remember posting that i could not post photos till i finally worked it out.Real talk. I can't get direct links from the Imgur app any longer. I have to copy the stupid album view link they force on me into a browser, then open the image in a new browser tab, and finally copy and paste that URL into the image link attachment to add to the post. Obnoxious.
Agree with all our friends this is a great Lambsfoot!
Looking good there Jack.
Thanks a lot buddy, back at ya
Good to hear you're getting settled in BobThank you Jack. Finally unpacking my hifi equipment.
Nice shot of your FC Lamb David
I was just wondering where you were, and how you were doing, today WillMost sheepish salutations, fellow Guardians.

I like traditionalI didn't notice that there was no nail nick until you pointed it out!! Total boss move, IMO. That's a neat flex from Rosecraft - I'd love to see less nail nicks on pinchable knives!
It'd be great to see those pics buddyThanks Jack! I have some pics that I’d like to share from my recent trip to Hawaii as well but Imgur is giving me fits in trying to get pics to post here.
