Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

LOL! Well, it's possible Charlie! There are a lot of people in Sheffield with Italian ancestry. My great grandmother was best friends all her life with an Italian lady, and their daughters were also life-long best friends. Until the 1970's, they had lived in the same yard all their lives. I was very fond of Mrs Oxley, and knew all her extended family, who were like relatives to us. I think they must have been from the south, as they had olive skin and jet black hair

Thanks Steve, it was tasty

It's great to see you my friend, and I hope your travels have been interesting I hope this looks familiar

Thanks a lot Mike

Nice Pile-side pic buddy

Almost camouflaged David!

Beautiful pic Dwight, it's great to see your Big Un again

Great pic Paul By coincidence, I picked out the same Lamb to carry today! I hope work isn't too punishing brother

Sweet Mitch

Thanks Jack

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing well I can't seem to shift this cold I've had for 3 weeks or so, I was coughing like a coal miner last night! It might have been influenced by starting to re-watch Justified It is wet and miserable here today, and with plenty of work to do, I might have a day indoors By a happy coincidence, when I picked out a Lambsfoot to carry today, last night, which is not something I do commonly, I decided on the same knife Paul is carrying, my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot Have a great day Guardians

Cool Lamb shot

Yeah it’s been wet here for the past couple of days.
Yep Justified is a good watch. I’ve watched it a couple of times
I’m rewatching Marco Polo.
Have a great day.

Thanks Mitch, I guess winter is approaching there buddy, I hope you don't get anymore rain than you need

Strangely, it was actually Tool Man who first recommended it to me. It's been about 10 years since I last watched it, and enjoyed the first few episodes last night

I just came across this Carl Kammerling would-be Lambsfoot in a box of penknives I need to clean up. As you can see, it isn't actually a Lamb, but a lot more like one than the knives they're producing today



Here, CK are known for their semi-budget tools, and they sell their cheap modern knives in hardware stores. The company have an interesting history, and their older knives can be quite nice. The knife above is made in Italy, where CK have generally had their knives made, though they may be going to China now. The older ones look more like Solingen. The Lambsfoot below is also made in Italy, and also a cheaply-made knife. For collectors, I don't really think these knives are worth picking up
