Hey there Jack

No, I won't go hungry my friend

That Deakin doesn't have what you would call the "Ultimate" shaped Lambsfoot shape- as in the want of it to be longer and slimmer, Jack I am interested to know your thoughts on this my friend.
Yet this H. Deakin has the stove-pipe kick, rats tailed Bolsters, heavy stamping of the "REAL LAMBFOOT" ( no "S"). The stamping being heavy enough to indent the middle of the blade as they did, as well as the grand Sheffield style of the jig work on the Bone.

Hi Duncan, that's good to hear mate It's an interesting Lamb, the blade form does vary. I have 2 or 3 William Rodgers Lambs which have blades, which are quite blocky at the pointy end. I'll try to edit in some pics when I get back home

NIce-looking Lamb That's who I figured it would be. The son of Eggington's old gaffer, Ron Brookes, started using that name about 15 years ago, and producing stuff that was a bit fancier, such as large, fancy Bowies

Evening all
We went to the Sunday markets today, beautiful winters day

The owners of a local distillery had a stall. I picked up a bottle of vodka very smooth.

You will love this, came across a jewellery engravers stall. We got talking when he found out I’m in to knives and old skills we got along. He is old school, chisel & hammer and learnt from a gun engraver. He showed me some engraved knives and I told him what it was and the blade steels he was very enthusiastic and showed me examples of other things including some very nicely carved leather cuffs. It was great coming across someone that has the same sort of interests.

I had a walk down to Matt's to drop off Cillian's Lambsfoot, and made sure I got a penny off him I also had a bottle of flavoured Rum for Matt's missus. Eve bought it me 2 or 3 years ago, and it's really not my thing. I called in Charlie's for a coffee on my way down, and am having a soft drink.before I walk back up the hill. It was cramped in that Bradford cinema last night, and my legs are aching Hope everyone is having a great day

Hope that penny helps Cillian appreciate the gift Jack.
Enjoy the afternoon there.

Me too Bob, he tried giving me a Pound coin, but I said that wouldn't do. I gave him a knife a few years back, and he has been very respectful with it, and been whittling, with ideas from a whittling book I gave him a couple of years ago. The Lamb has a wee pouch, which he can pocket or belt carry. I should have taken a pic

Thanks Jack
I don’t know about new friend, probably won’t go back to the market for another couple of years. It was very nice seeing old skills kept alive.
Have a great day.

It was actually her idea

Bob, you clearly have an amazing wife. Mine wouldn’t go near a knife, fishing or gun show for love or money
