Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

This particular Lambsfoot is likely my least carried and likely for no other reason than that I have a couple of great horn examples already and I've been keeping company with bone, ebony, and stag as of late. Today, I decided to bring her out for some daylight. Rather handsome, I think.

These are incredible photos, Dennis, showing off the complexity of colors in the horn on each side of your lambsfoot!! :eek::thumbsup::cool::cool: I admired the blond with black bottom I saw in your previous photos, but now I see that each side is a veritable rainbow!!

This week I'll be carrying the Union Jack, my rosewood lambsfoot purchased for me by my daughter and wife in Burnitt's hardware store in York, England.

Thank you very much, Gary!

I was pretty amazed that they could pick out such a good one for me. I had sent them email with links to the A. Wright website indicating the model I thought they should go for. And my daughter had been my translator a couple of years earlier when I visited her in Spain and I made her take me knife shopping in several cities we visited. She must have learned something about some of the features I look for in a knife! :D

Curse of the Lambsfoot

It was a dark and stormy night. Alas the next morning, work will still needed to be done. As I choose the pocket cutlery to carry with me, the lambsfoot once again will go into my front left pocket, steadily taking place of other edc knives that have been put away since it’s arrival. It has also replaced my 30+ year worry stone. My bank account has a surprisingly positive balance, as I find that looking at other knives just doesn’t trigger any buying impulse. I do enjoy other knives I have, and I carry more than one at a time, but the lambsfoot is getting the most use by far. Talk about traditional, an old school pattern for certain. When I first got it I wasn’t that thrilled about it. But I decided to give it a fair chance. After I carried it that first week, we have been inseparable ever since. Is it a blessing, or a curse?

I love the grain on your rosewood, GT.

I'm right there with you. I think I could get rid of every knife I own and be happy with just my Rosewood Lambsfoot and GEC 14 (need a small one for work). I'm not going to do that, but I'd be fine if I had to.

Yeah, I’ve heard rumours of this ‘snow’ stuff as well. Personally, I remain sceptical about it. :D;):p

I’m just returning from a road trip out West - showing around a visitor from the Carolinas;) (and getting some material for another thread). This thread moves quick, so apologies if I’ve missed acknowledging any comments.

It’s great to see all the new Guardians entering the Lambsfoot fold and contributing to this thread.:cool::thumbsup:

Welcome, friends!:)



Nice one mate, your hard work is appreciated as always. Safe travels to Sheffield.:cool::thumbsup:



Huh, yeah I also use that phrase on the Porch. Aussies tend to use the word ‘youse’ as a collective form of address, but I guess it might not be clearly understood here, so “y’all” works fine!:)

"Y'all" is common not only here in Texas, but probably throughout the Southern U.S. I thought "youse" was strictly Brooklyn and the Bronx, maybe "Joisey". I learn something everyday! (And if I forget it, I learn it anew later).

Yeah, the flaw has been present since I received it. It has never bothered me any, it doesn't seem structurally unstable, and I chalk it up to adding to the overall exceptional character of the knife.



Safe travels on the morrow, Jack. Love the pin, it pairs nicely with the Lambsfoot.



Fantastic pictures, Chin! Your travels are enviable, my friend, I wonder how you might like our Pacific Northwest wilderness up here.

Thanks very much Dylan. Oh, I’m sure I’d love the forests of the Pacific Northwest, my friend. I have friends in Portland and Seattle, so it’s definitely a part of the US I plan to visit, whenever I can make it over there. I always enjoy scrutinising your camping and hunting pics in the Pacific NW wilderness.:)

We have an interesting ‘Forest Arboretum’ on part of the mountainside near where I live. The Brits’ colonial town planning always had the foresight to include a large central area of gardens, walking paths and shadetrees, as well as examples of different trees from all the corners of Empire, back in the day. These parks are quite pleasant to walk in and enjoy on a typical hot Australian day, but they can be a little manicured and staid to my taste. Basically it’s like an old school zoo for plants and trees - here’s one tree, then another different one, and so on.

The Forest Arboretum is a slightly different concept, in that it has over 300 acres of land dedicated to forest size plantings of trees from all over the world, so you can actually walk into ten or twenty acres of ‘wilderness’ which have the feel of another countrys trees, then another, and another, and so on.

There is a Monarch Birch forest which reminds me of Hokkaido, Japan; a Canoe Birch forest reminiscent of Canada; a tract of Mexican pines; another of Japanese maples, a forest of English Ash trees; a hillside of sweet smelling Devadaru Himalayan Cedars, which feel like Northern India or Nepal; a stretch of California Redwood Sequoias, and so on. I just looked up the wiki page, and apparently it was the first time this style of forest planting had been done - I’m surprised the same thing hasn’t been popularised elsewhere - it’s a beautiful area.

Anyway, I mention this, because I’ve always particularly loved the ‘PNW’ section of Douglas Fir forest. Hanging out in the forest, reading books there, and riding my bike around as a kid, always seemed to be the next best thing to actually being able to visit those places!

Good evening all... I have been admiring the many gorgeous knives in this thread for long enough. It would be greatly appreciated if someone would be so kind to send me a PM with advice on the best way/place to acquire my first lambsfoot. I really like the knives with the "Real Lamb Foot" on the blade. I admittedly haven't read all 598 pages but assume that was a forum group buy? If so are there any more of these in the making?

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful pictures/stories.

I would guess Jack Black Jack Black will send you a PM soon. He's probably asleep right now!
