So much thought and care went into the packaging of this knife. Such an easy process. The tin and button are a great touch.
I got so lucky with this beautiful knife. Great construction and the wood grain is really stunning.

Thank you very much
Good luck with jury duty
Looks like a lovely day, what a beautiful pic
Congratulations Taylor, I'm glad you're pleased with it, thanks for the kind words
This is the exciting part for me, as the knives land in your hands, makes all the effort worth it Lucky B#@$%&!... You got the "Eye"
What? I called him a "Lucky Brother"...
I'd keep that kind of thing for when it's necessary John, it's only a couple of months since Frank issued an informal warning about it in the Lounge, and many years ago, I received an infraction in general for a similar use of 'top-row typing' (and I wasn't even referring to anyone)
Please keep 'em coming Taylor, your pics are great
Just waiting for its companion.
I'm sure that AC has got better-looking since it's been in Texas Vince

Congratulations (and thanks for letting me know by email)
Fantastic photos I hope everyone can find a use for the hinged metal tins I've used this year, they were kind of expensive, but I thought they'd add an extra layer of protection, and hopefully be useful What's going on here? Texas is WAY closer to England than California!

Jack, I'm living high on the hog as they sayThat's it Dave, we need to get this thread back on track!
I got mine I got mine I got mine!!!!
I'm waiting for a better light to take more pictures, but damn is it pretty! Thank you so much

for making this happen.
Haha, I was on the fence for this one but coudn't pull the trigger since I had to choose between that one or the 2019 Lambsfoot and couldn't afford both. And then I saw it had been sold. But you know, I KNEW it had to be to a Guardian ;-)
I was intrigued by the very large blade, which made it look almost like a sheepfoot despite the 'Real Lamb Foot' etch, and the horn seemed to have a nice potential. I'm glad you picked it up, please post it regularly here
See you all later for more pics of my 2019 Lambsfoot!

Good evening, Guardians.
About a week or so ago, I decided to do some casual knife hunting. It can often be fun seeing where various rabbit holes will take you but to make a long story short, I came across an old Lambsfoot that caught my eye. Now, it can be relatively easy to find old Lambsfoot knives but they generally are in rather poor shape, having blades ground to toothpicks or covers that are either broken or completely missing.
This particular knife had lovely horn covers and a blade that appeared to be relatively full. Sporting what remained of the "Real Lambfoot" etch (later revealed to be a stamp) and rat tail bolsters, I had to pull the trigger. Fast forward a little less than a week, the knife arrived in my mailbox after a brief trip over the pond.
One of the most eye-catching things about this knife is the nicely matched horn covers. Obviously an older knife, the covers are in surprisingly good condition, there are some gaps here and there but overall, I am very pleased. The knife itself appears to be uncannily similar to A. Wright's smaller Lambsfoot knives. Though it is close to an 1/8" longer than my AC and Oxhorn, the shape and curvature are almost identical. However, there is no identifying tang stamp, not even anything that states whether it came from Sheffield or even England, for that matter.
This knife appears to have been rather aggressively cleaned at some point and I can see the evidence on the blade as well as the frame itself. The blade is ground very thin (this will be one heck of a slicer) and the Real Lambfoot stamp is still partially visible. I suspect that whoever cleaned the knife up took away a fair amount of metal up by the nail nick and blade stamp.
What mostly sets this apart from my other Wrights knives are the rat tail bolsters, steel liners (instead of the typical brass), and either steel pins or nickel silver. I suspect the former due to the nickel silver of the bolsters being a different color altogether.
Sporting the typical rugged construction that I have come to expect and very much appreciate in Sheffield cutlery, this knife has a bear trap pull and it snaps like a hell spawned gator. No play whatsoever in this knife and the blade is very nicely centered and quite straight.
Overall, I am very pleased with this acquisition and even though I do not know much about its provenance, it will have a most welcome place in my collection.
