Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had an excellent weekendIt's raining here today, pretty heavily, so I'm in no hurry to go out, and I certainly have plenty of things I need to do indoors. Starting my week with Charlie's wonderful Flat Cap Lamb
Have a good one Guardians

Thanks, Jack.
The lambsfoot blade on my Rosecraft knife is longer than any of my previous lambsfoot blades, which I welcome.
But the cigar-style equal-end frame will take some getting used to; I really like my lambsfoot knives with swayback handles.
This week my lambsfoot is Black Jack, my 2018 ebony Guardians lambsfoot.

Yeah, it's a very basic site isn't it? I forget when I first came across it, but I think they were probably gone by then. Stan Shaw did some work for them, and regarded old Mrs Slater as a friend. She would sometimes take him old blades, and other knife partsI tried buying from their site, but their descriptions didn't match their photos. That was as far as I got.
