Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

How about some Lambsfoot content. Here’s a comparison pic I took today of some GEC Lambsfoot blades. Unfortunately I don’t have an #88 to throw in there (I had one at one point, but it wasn’t my favorite pattern so I moved it along). Personally, I much prefer the nail nick/drawn swedge to the long pull/cut swedge on a Lambsfoot.

GEC definitely likes to make their Lambsfoot blades long and lean. I’d kind of like to see them do a slightly shorter, stockier Lambsfoot someday.

Nice comparison Barrett. I agree on the nail nick vs long pull 👍

I agree 100 percent on the nicks, Barrett, but disagree on shorter and stockier!! I like the long ones!!

Don’t get me wrong, I like both. The proportions of the #93 Lamb are great. But I also like the proportions of, say, an Albers or Wright’s Lambsfoot blade, just a little shorter in length and a little taller from edge to spine. (I will admit that the Lambsfoot on the #41 is bordering on being a little too long and lean for me.) 😁

Sounds like a good time, Jack. :thumbsup: @herder and I met up for pizza and beer the other day, but I'm afraid I didn't take any pictures. (And I even had a lambsfoot with me! I've been slacking on my knife picture duties lately. I need to do better.)

Sounds tasty, Jack. The other night we were sitting down to dinner, and Scout insisted that we all go around the table and share our favorite way to eat potatoes. She said hers was scalloped potatoes. I asked her, “What about a chip butty.” Her eyes widened and she said, “Ooooh. Chip buttyyyy.” 🤤🤣

Great photo Barrett, and I agree with you about the nicks and swedges. Great to see more of those blades :thumbsup:

That'd be good to see :) I still can't get over their new-found love for the Lambsfoot, after years of Charlie's arm-twisting! :D Great to see :) :thumbsup:

I do enjoy seeing that one David :) I'm not a fan of brass bolsters generally, but they certainly work with that white horn :cool: :thumbsup:
