Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[mitch4ging]

The Man Jack is very "manly", GT.
It's a great mixture of handsome and ruggedness.

And smells of cedar and leather!

Lol... Yes!!!
I see an Old Spice commercial coming

Helping in the kitchen...
The Lambsfoot has become my go-to utility knife. When there's work to be done, it's the first one I reach for.

@5K Qs Thank you Gary. The reflection of the sun on the patina makes the Man Jack even more handsome

 

[Prester John]

Such buttery color your stag is developing, Vince!! (Maybe I should send you mine to handle for a while so your one-in-a-million skin oils can work their magic on my Cracker Jack! )

Happy to oblige, Gary!

Yeah, I think I'm going to hold on to it, being an anniversary present. It is a great knife, other than that flaw.

Yes, keep the knife. It's pre-disastered.

Nice! I don't have any sausage this morning, but it's time to break into the Christmas coffee.

I have another half pound of the "Holiday Blend" unopened in the pantry. Anderson's blends a new one each year, only available in December. I heard a rumor that it's in such demand that I could sell it on ebay for a profit.

Thanks, Jack. I try to keep up with my reading, but I'm not a very articulate writer, so don't always find as much time to post as I'd like.

I would say articulate and prolific.

Thank you very much Sir !! I would hope that everyone could find one like this one .

Don't you Sir me!

I'm currently reading this thread from post 1 - as well as trying to keep up with the new posts - and I really enjoy seeing both new and old knives mixed together. And it reminds me that I've always been curious as to why some of you enjoy so much using old knives where for example most of the blade is gone because of years of sharpening. To me, getting a knife that has seen so much use is like putting on shoes that had belonged to someone else - you know, it's taken the shape of its former owner's feet and you can't feel comfortable in them, like there's no room left for you to leave your mark on them and make it your own. Although I absolutely love the look and patina of old knives, I've yet to get over that silly feeling. Because I love when objects have stories to tell

I guess I should try one out and see

Lambsfoot and Christmas Coffee... The perfect start to any day

Perfect!!!

Lol... Yes!!!
I see an Old Spice commercial coming

And maybe Irish Spring! ("Made for a man....")

Don't you Sir me!

"Don't call me "Sir"--I work for a living!"

[Army joke: what an NCO would often say when called "Sir"]

Haven't seen that movie in a long time!

We only borrow things, knives, guitars etc., we have them and enjoy them, then eventually they will be passed on to someone else. So there's history in these older things, like reading a book, we can see just a little bit about the previous owners. So get one, enjoy it, and write your own history with it.

Old Spice and Irish Spring...very manly!
Makes me think of "The Quiet Man".

Doesn't get much more manly than John Wayne.

 

[JohnDF]

We definitely have a "man" theme going today...

Gotta throw some whiskey and a fight in there!

I must admit I had to look it up before you edited your post

Morning, Guardians...so enjoy coming here and reading the banter and seeing the photos. Preston

I would say articulate and prolific.

I agree wholeheartedly!

Yes ma'ma, you should. If you are reading this thread from the beginning I'm sure you will have more than one Lambsfoot...old and new.

Ha, I tried Irish Spring and broke out in a rash, not for me.
