Just so we're clear, there's nothing wrong with that, right? Except as a knife handle look...

That IS ugly! Can't look away, though....Excellent post, and a great photo, my good friendThat's world's nicer than the later IXL 'Simulated Stag' Lambsfoot Barlow I got in a 'job lot' some time back, one of the ugliest knives I've ever seen
That is some nice Sambar Russell!
My friend Harry once told me, there’s no bad Stag, but some is better than others!

I like that photo Will
Good Morning Guardians
Jack, I'm sure this is a very busy and stressful time for you. We all appreciate it though.
Thanks John, it's been a VERY stressful 24 hours. Thanks to those of you who haven't made it even more stressful :grumpy:
You should see it with the blade open!
I didn't want to put you all off your breakfasts! 
Pheww, many pages to catch up with!
Wow, that must be one of the prettiest horn handled knives I've seen! And I love the character given by the inclusion. Great knife
I'm having a hard time trying to prevent myself fom looking at them too much - I would inevitably get to like some better than others and I just don't want to spoil the surprise of opening my parcel... Can't wait !!!
Eeek, reminds me of that IXL lambsfoot I had seen online: words failed me
The patina on my TEW is getting nicer every day - pic dedicated to @Jack Black, I brought the beer mats from Leeds last year
I really love the size and shape of that TEW, if only the scales were real jigged bone... Well, I'll have to hunt for another one then and get the lambsfoot fever!
Have a nice evening Guardians (evening for me), and for those of you who are going to endure those extreme temperatures I've heard of: stay warm!!
Good day, Guardians.
Here are a couple of pics I took a little while ago that show the inclusion near the bolster.

While I'm away dealing with emails, here's a couple of pics for you Guardians to look at...
Please drool quietly (I will be in touch)

Had enough of the factory edge, so I gave her a proper sharpening. She's a cutter now.
Nice Christian, see you thinned it out some
I was asking Wright's about those knives with a bit more sway in the handle - didn't even know what I was talking about!

There's no doubt that some are fancier than others, but I still think all the wood is beautiful, particularly in good light. One or two are actually quite dark, but when you look at them, there's loads 'going on' in the wood
Isn't that a shocker?!
What were they thinking of?! Thanks for the dedication
I'm glad you're loving the Lambsfoot I haven't been in Bundobust for a bit. Last day of my January sobriety tomorrow I'll put it down to your circumstances, and expect some more stellar pics Dwight
Isn't that a shocker?!
Were they thinking at all?? This is a terrible, terrible knife. Even the bolsters are ugly and show some kind of weird decoloration. It almost takes a genius mind to come up with something like that

Smashing pic David, nice to see you're out and about

An evil genius!

Didn't venture further than the local woods and fields as I couldn't be bothered with all the usual British snow hysterics/chaos/apocolypse...

Gotta thin it out. Modern factory slipjoints leave the edge much too thick for my tastes, and my natural sharpening angle (pretty close to flat on the stone) ends up thinning the bevels out a fair bit.
I much favor the knives with the extra sway. I think they're the best looking of the bunch, don't much like the standard shape. Probably a good thing too, otherwise I'm liable to end up like you lot and with multiple lambsfoot knives in my drawer.

Thank you!
Happy Wednesday, Guardians.
I was a bit indecisive today so I brought out more than a couple of knives to have near by today.
Some pile side goodness:
