Thanks for the unveiling David, those are great picsI'm glad your 2019 Lambsfoot arrived so quickly, and that you are pleased with
We have a gentleman's agreement that they don't
Yes thank you very much Jack. And mighty handsome it is to
Ahhh...sort of like a signature then? Or a secret handshake...
Yes very pleased with it, especially the swedge which is finely done
Afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
Obviously we've all seen Jack's prototype but by virtue of the fact that my nationality places me in close proximity to West Yorkshire, I have the honour of introducing to you all...
The Guardians 2019 Lambsfoot.
God willing when you open the envelope you will find this very smart and swanky Altoids sized tin.
Salivating...
The Grand Reveal...with cheeky badge.
Ooh la la...
And a comparison with my rosewood I've been toting for the past few days.
Well everyone this is one very nice knife. I've only ever bought off the self before and this is my first semi-custom and I'm mightily impressed. It's shaving sharp and the pull is just right; solid, positive but no nailbreaker.
The covers are not matched but are beautifully finished both sides. A very minor difference in thickness but I only noticed that when I'd taken a close up shot and the pins are perfectly flush. The bolsters set everything off nicely; I think Wright's should use them more often.
It actually feels slightly heavier than the large rosewood I have so this is no wall flower but a proper working knife.
Apologies for the pictures, I thought I'd take them in daylight but it's -1c outside. Also, I didn't realize until after I'd taken them that I hadn't cleaned off small amounts of polishing compound on the knife, so if you think you see blemishes on the bolsters it's not, it's polish.
I missed the last two Guardians knives, but I'm really glad I participated in this buy as this is a knife to cherish.
And lastly, a great "Huzzah!" to both Jack Black, whose been so kind and generous in arranging all this, and of course to Ashley at Wright's who obviously really Really knows his onions and is a true craftsman.
Well Dave, you're not the only one to make it difficult for Jack!I would think yesterday what with all the messed up orders via improperly completed papal transactions mine included

Thank you for the unveiling. It is beautiful. 
Jack Black
Thank you again for making this happen. Hope your knife is made whole again, soon.
Great pics guys
But I'm sure the boys over at Wright's can fix 'er up. 
)That's brilliant! Very funny!
Thanks Barrett. I don't think I've yet seen this map.
French toast? Maybe their a civilized lot in Arkansas.

Congratulations, David! Beautiful example , look forward to many more unveilings!
Stunning!! Thank you for the post.
I would think yesterday what with all the messed up orders via improperly completed PayPal transactions mine included
That's a good looking 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot you received, David, and fast, too! I like the black-hole-looking Ironwood on the mark side.
Here's the link to the Guardians map.
May everyone's 2019 knives wing their ways across that map as quickly as can be
Horrible! Hope the hospital stay is a short one and the outcome is a speedy and complete recovery for both....Worse news too, my sample 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot is at Wright's Knife Hospital at the moment because some butter-fingered idiot I know asked me if he could have a look at it, then snatched it out of my hand, tried opening it before he even properly had hold of it, fumbled it, and managed to throw it eight feet in the air with a hard landing on textured concrete!
Congrats on being the first to unveil the new Guardian Knife. You certainly received a beautiful example.Afternoon ladies and gentlemen.

That's a real shame, Jack!
I feel like you should bury the hatchet and give the fella who dropped your knife a Lambsfoot of his own. Make it one of these and see if can take a hint.
(Interesting side note, Jack: While searching for a picture of that cheap-o Lambsfoot -- I remembered having seen 'em before but couldn't remember who made them -- I came across a Lambsfoot thread from 2013 in which you commented that you'd bought a couple Wright's knives, but had "never been to the Wright works." 600 pages here and several Guardians SFOs later, it's hard to believe there was ever such a time!

I think the guy would like that knife! He once told me all about this fabulous knife he had - it was some monstrosity from Franklin Mint! Yeah, sadly the other thread got swamped with Sheepsfoot pics As Jack mentioned you are not alone, calculating the fees to apply to the total cost was a b#%ch! I needed 3 times to get it right.. Sorry Jack
I HATE that sort of thing, I've seen it several times, with both cars and motorbikes, and of course the stupid idiots rarely have insurance I make it a point not to borrow anything I can't afford to replace

At least you know where to send the hospital bill!
