+1. I remember learning of War Elephants when reading about Hannibal. Saw them for the first time in LOTR: The Return of the King. Those were impressive. Not like that puny thing in Jack's pics.
While I missed my hike, I did at least get some exercise todayI walked into town, and went to the Royal Armouries

Thanks John, they must have been intimidating!That is the last surviving complete elephant armour in the world. I remember going to see 300 one year on my birthday, I was glad I wasn't the only one in the cinema laughing
Putting the lambsfoot to work while getting ready for the start of the season.

Yeah, CGI will do that!
You can just send that whole box of Thin Mints my way.
Hahaha... That's great!You joke, but I've already set aside an entire case of TMs for my personal use. My daughter just informed me that I owe her $60.
Sounds like an interesting museum, Jack, and the elephant armor is very cool!

I was going to make a Lord of the Rings joke, but kamagong beat me to it.
Or perhaps it's because the ones depicted in LOTR were the now extinct Oliphant, an offshoot species.

Lambsfoot content to keep The Powers happy
I prefer the special effects of "Jason and the Argonauts" (circa 1960).Yeah, CGI will do that!

Oh, those were so bad. Lol
We got a little sunshine today, so I thought it would be a good idea to get some pictures of my Lambsfoot so I don't have to keep posting the same one when I need to quickly add knife content...
Thanks Vince, hoping to have some news of the others soon
I sure hope you do get some good news soon, Jack! You keep teasing us with these great pictures of that fabulous Guardian's Ironwood Lambsfoot. I really do get excited seeing yours, and knowing that it's getting close for the rest of us. PrestonWhile I had the 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot with me today, I thought I'd take the opportunity to get a few pics of the pile side (which I've only photographed indoors before)
By Grabthar's Hammer, it is!
Nice picture. Rosemary makes a lovely background.Hahaha... That's great!

Here's what happens if you never trim it back:
Doesn't even look like the same plant any more. Mine is getting very thick, the bees absolutely love the stuff and I like the way it smells.Rosemary makes a lovely background.

I used to grow it in pots outside, and also on my windowsill, a great cooking resource to have to hand 
Very mature Rosemary, Rachel. Big and beautiful; almost big enough to make knife handles!!By Grabthar's Hammer, it is!

Thanks Gary!Ron and Jack, your ebony Guardians knives are especially enjoyable!
Man I have really missed a lot of posts today. That’ll teach me to miss a day again. I did get a new specimen in the mail this weekend that I hope to get some photos of in the morning. It’s an Eyewitness Bigun. It is carbon with steel liners and pins. I’m not sure of the handle material, but it’s man made. It is textured and I almost think it’s Gum Fuddy. I’m not sure but I know someone here will be able to help. All I’ll say is it’s ugly but it’s a well made solid knife!
