Many thanks to Scubaroo who gifted this Ghost Lamb to me. It came to him with some scuffing on the handle which I plan to try and buff out.

I have been curious about AEB-L. After looking at the specs, and some feedback on knife groups, I was wondering why it is not more popular than it seems. Not that it is unpopular by any means, but from the specs and characteristics I'd have thought it would be more popular (unless I am mistaken about how popular it actually is, which is entirely possible).....So I made a little Lambsfoot to test the steel for myself. It is based on an old, circa 1970's Joseph Rodgers 3.5" knife that I inherited from my late grandpa. Just a simple, no frills little working knife I wanted to share with you guys. Blade stock is just a tad over 1/10th " so I put a hollow grind on it to get a nice thin cutting edge.
Feel free to tell me what you think, and also about AEB-L if you have any experience with it.

That is a very sweet Lamb Be great to hear how you find the steel I'm sure others will have opinions. Personally, I struggle to remember what knives I have, let alone what steel they're made from I do like THIS though! KIndly gifted to me by Rufus1949 - Generous Bob

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has made it through the week in one piece, and that those travelling made good speed, and had safe journeys. I need to do some stuff at home this morning, but I also need to make a trip into town. Then Wolfie is supposed to be coming round later. Better get moving I suppose Have a great day everyone Be careful, I'm letting Lucy out of her box!

Congrats on your lamb.
Tending to it will truly make it yours.
Well done by Scubaroo for thinking of you.

Willem, I like the concept of the plain working man's knife. I have had AEB-L steel on a few knives. Depending on the edge applied they hold up well and like a stropping occasionally.

Interesting clamp Jack.

I tend to think of " Lucy in the sky with diamonds" when I see that lamb.

Very interesting, I haven't seen a burger with pineapple before

I'm glad that one of us still has his marbles Bob!

Interesting clamp Jack.

Hand vices were very popular with cutlers Bob, that one has the British military 'Crow's Foot' acceptance mark

I tend to think of " Lucy in the sky with diamonds" when I see that lamb.

She is named for the two 'fang marks', which were once more obvious I originally took her because I thought that others might see the marks as a defect. I was probably overconcerned, but you never know



Took me a while to get her to start behaving!

You'd need your lambsfoot to find her sternum under all those ruffles.

Going after some fire ants today.
They are mean little buggers.

Happy Friday Guardians. Here’s an Ashwin jack that’s capped along with some ironwood scales. Real too.

I sure don’t like certain insects…mostly related to their size I guess. Some of those giant spiders in Australia would disturb me. Texas I hear has some big insects. Florida too. The iguana thing in Florida would get to me. Can you imagine an iguana falling out of a tree and bonking you on the noggin when it’s a bit frigid. I enjoy those Carl Hiassen books. Good luck with those fire ants Bob.

Very tidy looking knife, especially with the grind you put on the blade! I seem to recall having a Spyderco knife (or some similar modern maker) in AEB-L a while ago and it served me very well.
