Another fantastic photo, Dwight.

Thanks John.

After the bitter cold, came more snow. Still it was beautiful.

Lovely pic

Nice pic, Jack. Enjoy your day off!

Thanks pal, I only got sort of a day off I just wish I hadn't checked my emails before retiring last night

Get some well earned rest, Jack, It will still be there Monday!
And what an excellent distraction in that lamb!

Thanks buddy, I'll be back to parcel work tomorrow, in time for the post office Monday morning

Enjoy the day off, you deserve it.

Have a good rest, Jack!

Thanks a lot guys

Just got a winter weather advisory for my part of the world. (Check the Guardians Map for reference)

Stay safe and warm Taylor

Why Thank you Sir Jack
Guys and Gals- I met Jack a few years ago when he was SO kind to host Sue and I for the whole day- boy..... Jack took us around all of Sheffield, we met that lovely guy Stan and had such a great long chat - I kinda sank a weee bit when I left because Jacks the kind of guy you fall instantly in friends with.
My communication sucks at the best of times, but Jack my friend you are with me so much.

Now I find myself like the kid hanging around the neighbourhood Gang - wanting to join and get my patch! I see plenty of guys running with the Guardians logo on their sig line! The gangs GROWING Jack!

So how does one add his name to the Guardian map, and get added to the list Sir?

Same here Duncan, I think we formed a real special bond that day, and even though we don't communicate too often, you are in my thoughts regularly pal. Hoping to see more of you here my friend

Heya Barrett Matey- How are you ? Please.... bang me on there my friend, Auckland New Zealand kind Sir!
Ok...so to let you know where I am with my Lambsfoot Knives...

You take a fantastic pine Duncan, and that's a very respectable Lambsfoot line-up

Folks, I picked up three old Saynor Lambsfoot knives some years back, and was told the covers were horn. I gifted one to Duncan and one to Charlie @waynorth. Duncan suggested the covers might be synthetic, and I thought he was wrong, but in retrospect I think those knives had probably been re-covered or assembled from old parts. Certainly have a heck of a pull on them eh Duncan?

Nice pic Vince, when I looked at it on my phone, I thought it was the real deal!

Oh for Pete's sake....
I just wrote a huge rant then realized it wasn't what we do on this thread so deleted it. So all I'll say is....That's why I don't watch the BBC anymore.

Anyway I know it's snowing in Yorkshire at the mo' Jack, so I hope you make it across the no-mans land of the Vale of York fighting Yeti's and zombie snowmen. That is of course if the 1 inch of snow hasn't completely cut York off....

Amen to that....

Thanks pal, yes it's been a tough day my friend, the snow was halfway up Clifford's Tower! Wish I'd had a micrometer to measure it!

That is a wonderful pic there David, just the sort of vista I love

Good Morning Guardians. Hope it's a great weekend for all of you.

Your Lambsfoot loves the Rosemary John There were a whole load of ice sculptures in York, some were pretty incredible, but some not so much, and a lot of corporate ones too. I took this pic for you

Morning Guardians. John, it seems we have twins, and you're enjoying yours as much as I'm mine.

Good morning Guardians!

Cool pic Dave

David everything you and Jack have said about this PERFECTLY describes the reactions here in Arkansas. A 1" snowfall paralyzes the state. Within hours the highways are littered with stalled and or crashed vehicles, grocery store shelves are empty and the local news is running around the clock with minute by minute updates on the unfolding catastrophe.

LOL! Really Dwight, I thought it was just here! Snow is the Kryptonite of the SUL (Stiff Upper Lip)!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, here's another pic of my AC from today - that's an iceberg behind it, floating down the River Ouse!

Cool pic Dave

Thank you Jack. Sure hope things are working out for you on the plus side today. We are getting our second snowstorm of the season should last through Sunday -25c wind gusts of 80 kph causing whiteout conditions on the Hiway. Rock and Roll baby.

Not seeing the picture, Jack. Hope you post it later. And welcome back, hope it was a good day.

Jack Black Thank you.

 

[tmd_87]

Thanks Jack...just a lot of rain and wind so far....they are saying snow on Monday and Tuesday.

Doh! Sorry about that John! I've edited it in now, but here it is

Thanks Jack...just a lot of rain and wind so far....they are saying snow on Monday and Tuesday.

Stay warm Taylor, and make sure to clear a path for the mail-man

 

[Dschal]

Up to 25F today. This lambsfoot in my pocket.

 

[JohnDF]

here it is

That's awesome, Jack. It's nice to see people give homage to our alien overlords

Up to 25F today. This lambsfoot in my pocket.

Your radiant Lambsfoot seems to be melting the snow.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Duncan, I've got you on the map, my friend... only our second Guardian in the Southern Hemisphere!

Barrett my friend- your a Legend, Thank You!

Jack- That Lambsfoot is a toughie! and I usually cant open knives with my weak nails, I got this old Girl covered though- my ring finger on my left hand gets the knife everytime.

Isnt it weird?...quite some time ago I wasnt 100% keen on either the single bladed Sheepsfoot or Lambsfoot - but as I used my knives more and more through the years- the benefits from both of these patterns soon came apparent to me and I have embraced these patterns for some time now!

 

[JohnDF]

Went to my Mom's for a visit and brought her the candy she loves.
The Lambsfoot came in handy opening all the packages for her

I love the grain on your rosewood, GT.
...

Good Morning Guardians
We've been having Spring like weather here in Northern California.

Thanks, John. Yours seems to have a different kind of grain that's real attractive, too; I/m guessing they're two different species of rosewood.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger my friend . After last night and this morning , the snow on top of our patio table measured 18 & 1/2 inches . And tomorrows temperatures will be dropping like a rock from the current 4 F to -20 some F .
Harry

18.5" seems like too much in a single serving, Harry. Glad you have the machinery to handle it!

Good morning Guardians! Our weather is showing its pile side this morning so I figured I’d do the same with my Lambsfoot of choice for today!

That is some nice Sambar Russell! My friend Harry once told me, there’s no bad Stag, but some is better than others!

I agree with Harry, Ron, and given that I inexplicably am drawn to staglon, I think there's some staglon that's better than some stag. But it's all so subjective, who likes what.

...
I realize I don't take many outdoor shots. It's the Pre-Raphaelite in me. I can worship nature just fine from my north-facing atelier.
We're in for a couple of days with highs around 0*F, but well above freezing on Saturday. Winter is on the ropes!

Now I'm out of snow pictures.

Jer, I sure hope you're right about winter being on the ropes. I seem to have come down with the worst case of SAD I've ever experienced this week. Great snow shot of Old Toffeewing, and I can probably come up with a couple of snow shots. Can't believe how low some of the Kalamazoo temps were this week! Here's a photo from the corner of my garage, looking across my driveway toward the bakery kitty-corner across the alley the driveway leads to. Looks like a good, clear driveway, eh?

But if I pivot to my right, you'll see the snow that fell in the alley Monday where I piled it:

Good morning, Guardians!

That's a great shot of your AC, Vince!

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)

Lot of amazing wood in those piles! Jack, you've done it again!

Pretty as a picture, Dwight!

Thanks Dennis. It's a recycled photo. My right arm is immobilized for the next six weeks so I'm relegated to my left hand only. Very slow typing.

I'm glad to hear you had your shoulder surgery, Dwight. I hope the recovery (6 weeks!) and subsequent rehab are relatively pain-free, and that you're blessed with patience and optimism for the duration.

I want to apply for entrance to The Guardians..... I bought a single Lambsfoot about 3 weeks ago and fell in love with it, warts and all...…. So I bought 3 more & received them yesterday...……. So now it is a herd of 4..... I live just south of Rochester, NY..… I have no connection with NYC and have never been there, even though I have lived in NY 58 of my 69 years.... I am a retired manufacturing manager of heavy machining; a USAF Viet Nam Vet; and have somewhere around 200 knives...…… So all that and $.50 will buy you a small coffee.... Attached is a picture of the herd...…….. I enjoy reading this thread & it sounds like you are a nice group...……..

As other, more timely, Guardians have noted, that's a fine flock you have, Brent! I want welcome you, and several other recent newcomers, to the Guardians.

They did very well for you GT I correct you only so you don't fail to find it should you ever visit - it's actually Barnitt's
...

Thanks for the correction, Jack. I doubt if I've spelled the name the same way twice , so I've copied your correction in a place where I can find it.

One of my AC’s also wears battle scars, or fencing scratches. Part of the life history of the Stag, which I think adds to it’s appeal. Many a knife company shy away from using this natural type of stag.

Cool scratches, Russell!

Thanks John, it's been a VERY stressful 24 hours. Thanks to those of you who haven't made it even more stressful :grumpy:

Oops, that leaves me out - mea culpa.

Thanks GT, mine is African Rosewood.

Yeah, haven't made it to Puerto Rico yet!

That's a great shot of your AC, Vince!

Thanks, Gary!

The 18 &1/2 inches of snow on our patio table came from 2 snowfalls . I was seeing that you guys over there were getting Lake Effect snow loooooooong after the snow stoped here . I would suspect that you folks got much more snow than we did from the looks of what you are showing , and I have plenty of space to reposition ours to . Nice picture of your lambsfoot and nice sunny day my friend .
