Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Does this qualify?

Afraid not, it's a Sheepsfoot. If you read through the thread, you'll learn the difference. Would you mind deleting it please :thumbsup:

This is my favorite thread though, I'm so glad for Jack's gift so I can participate more fully.
I like that this thread combines some off-topic as well as some on-topic discussion. I also like how this thread doesn't disintegrate into passive aggressive behavior, like many others on the forum. And I like that Jack runs a pretty tight ship and looks out for all of us. Long live the Lambsfoot!

Thanks John, I try my best, but this thread wouldn't be the same without the great bunch of regulars we have here :) Thanks folks :thumbsup:
 
Your right it is and has been made even more restrictive...I'm not sure when though. I bought some ivory grips for a 1911 pistol a few years ago from a seller on the east coast. They along with a lot of other merchants no longer have any ivory listed for sale. I believe that here in the USA, ivory can only be exchanged inside individual states, and there are restrictions on that. Preston

Gorgeous 1911! Good companion for a lambsfoot.
 
Left over haggis? I didn't know there could be such a thing... :)
That's good news, York needs stuff after Christmas. They have the Residents Weekend in January and they have the Viking Festival in a couple of weeks, but ice sculptures are better in winter than autumn :thumbsup:
Here's the inside of Clifford's Tower.

Your right about it being a rip off. There was recently a plan to build the inevitable "visitors centre" at the base of the steps.:rolleyes: However they rightly had a lot of objections to placing what effectively looked like a public toilets at the base of what once was York Castle. :rolleyes: Last time I walked past a few weeks ago there wasn't anything there :thumbsup:



That's a finely cut notch there :thumbsup:



Crikey yeah of course you guys go the other way don't you.:) No, 110 would be an excuse for further news media hysteria over here. Heat stroke, drought as it's not rained in 5 days and ranting about sunscreen :rolleyes:
No we can't cope with winter. We can't cope in the summer.... Not sure what we can cope with these days.
P.S. Now I want doughnuts...



As do I yours Dave. :):thumbsup: However I may of been wrong. There's an old saying.

"If Candlemas Day be fair and bright,
Winter will have another flight.
If on Candlemas Day it be shower and rain,
Winter is gone and will not come again".

Wall to wall blue where I live, and in many parts of the country actually. So it looks like the UK will have another throw of the snowball before long :(



A great big giant lime flavoured York Fruit??



Hasn't there been some recent changes to the trading of ivory goods? As in made even more restrictive than what it once was? I'm sure I read something last year.

Sorry David, I somehow managed to miss this post until now :( Thanks for those great pics. I'm glad the visitor centre was seen off! :eek: Good guess! :D :thumbsup:

It's good to see the White Rose again. I'll bet you don't show it to you-know-who with the butter-fingers!

Do people mind if, from now on, we refer to him as The Butter-Fingered Oaf? That way, the next time I see him, I can tell him that is what he is widely known as :rolleyes:

Yes, and I have the coffee cup to prove it!

Very good Vince! :D :thumbsup:
 
Attractive as The Yorkshire Rose is, I would rather have been showing off my 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot today...

And if it had not been for The Butter-Fingered Oaf, I would have been :thumbsdown:
She is a sweet sassy slicey sw...knife! :D

And looking at that photo, again Jack, thanks again for the tremendous work and out of pocket costs and behind the scenes time and work you have put into this years knife!:):thumbsup:

Well, Jack, I think we can see now where you went wrong. You forgot to slap one of those “HANDLE WITH CARE” stickers on your knife before handing it over to the Butter-Fingered Oaf. :D
