Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

LOL! :D I usually only eat them at Christmas, but you just reminded me I put a few in the freezer as I made too many this year ;) :thumbsup:

I know you're eating healthy at the moment, Jack, but that sounds like a good reason to have a cheat day! :cool: In addition to the traditional ones, my brother had some made with chorizo that were quite good. :thumbsup:


The arrival of the first 2019 Guardians knife in the US got my hopes up, so I braved the cold wind and snow to check the mail, but all that was in there was bills and junk mail. :( :D
 
Crikey!! Needle in the haystack time, huh? You're sure putting these tired old eyes to the test :confused:.
Top, 2nd in from the right :cool:.
OG

Well spotted OG :) :thumbsup:

Ah, shame :( Yours and OG's went in the mail the same day Barrett, so it could be there soon! :eek: :D :thumbsup:

I'll be checking mine in about an hour.
 
Finally got my first lambsfoot in yesterday. If you don't look too closely it's a fine looking knife. Both scales are nice looking. There is a small hole on the mark side at the bolster, but I can fix that... just happen to have some spare rosewood laying around from my woodworking days! The blade is like a bear trap... smacks open and closed with authority, but with that comes a very strong pull, more so than I prefer, but hopefully it will loosen up with some use. There is a fairly sizable gap between the blade and liner on one side, probably 2-3 sheets of printer paper thick at the widest. The blade is not centered, but not touching the liner either, and it seems a little crooked, almost kinked in how it was cut. The edge is ok sharp, but not exactly straight... I'll touch that up this weekend and fix the bevel.

Overall, I'd been prepared to not expect a flawless knife, so my expectations were tempered from the start. It certainly has its share of imperfections, but I can either fix or overlook them all. I think it'll make a fine user and good introduction to this cool pattern.

Thanks to Jack Jack Black Jack Black and Chin @Cambertree for their help with what to look for and expect. I appreciate the help!

Welcome to the Guardians! You don't want your first Lambsfoot to be perfect, or you won't really appreciate it when you get one that doesn't need a little tinkering with. :p
I felt a little silly checking the mailbox today, but I must have just been feeling yours fly overhead on its way to you. Enjoy!
 
Drum roll please.............

After checking my mail today I had this waiting for me....

Pile side has a ton of depth and colors hard to capture in a photo with non-natural lighting. Beautiful.

Perfect centering. Perfect snap, strong pull that I like. Amazing knife!!!! Cheers to Jack and thanks a million times my friend. To the Guardians, thanks for being the best place to post in the forums!
