Looks like some solid Lambsfoot use my friend :thumbsup:

Errr...yeah...that was actually the start of my Monday.... :D:D



LOL Jack. Another tale for your book surely... :D:thumbsup:
So then. In reality I was better climber than half the people who swan about Sheffield telling everyone their climbers? Anyone can climb anything if your going to use cement, carjacks and Spidey web spinners :rolleyes:



Yip 450K is a lot to! That Chevy must of held some sentiment for that chap :thumbsup: I wonder if modern Chevy's are as good? I know Landys used to be big in Australia but their reputation had suffered. Once when I was there I heard something like; "if you want to spend the night out in the bush buy a Land Rover. If you want to get home to a bath and a cold beer buy a Toyota".
Saying that, Australia chews up and spits out most things so maybe Toyota's are just another level up on the hardness scale :D
I've never been to Bath either, but from what I've heard of the place I can well believe the "farmers" are posh. :D

And thanks Barrett it's Lymm Brewery Tap in the village of Lymm in the county of Cheshire. A pint of one of their occasional ales, Chirotherium, a 5.5% old ale, which was very very very nice...
Bolstering myself to start work again tomorrow... :(

LOL! :D

Oh yeah, some right poseurs on the Sheffield climbing scene :rolleyes: I've seen plenty of synthetic-rock stars struggling up Hard Diffs out in the Peak :rolleyes: Ooh, where's me chalk-bag?! :D :thumbsup:

It may well be six months since I last had a chance to go over to the nearby town of Huddersfield, and visit my friend @ADEE, but I'm heading over there tomorrow. Got a bundle of Lamby goodness in my bag, and these two will be in my pocket :) :thumbsup:

I hope you have a good visit tomorrow, Jack. (As long as the Xenomorphs don't get you tonight!) :eek: :D

I think 450k miles is an anomaly for any Chevy, old or new. Toyota certainly seem to have a reputation for toughness. I remember an episode of Top Gear where they tried to kill an old Toyota Hilux pickup, but it just kept going. (Ok, they did have a mechanic on hand to get it running again after letting the tide swallow it in the Bristol Channel, dropping a caravan on it and setting it on fire, but supposedly they used no spare parts, and with a little tinkering, the thing just kept working.)


Well, fellow Guardians, today was my lucky day! I was sitting in the living room when I heard the sound of the mailman's Grumman LLV (speaking of high mileage vehicles ;)) pull up outside. I looked out the window and saw him depositing today's mail in our mailbox. I headed outside, opened the mailbox and felt a familiar sense of disappointment; it looked like all that was in there were a couple bills and a magazine for my wife. But then I noticed that there was something under the magazine at the back of the mailbox, and sure enough, it was the package from England that I'd been waiting for! :D

Now Jack, I have to tell you, I'm afraid you might have accidentally sent some bad Butter-Fingered-Oaf juju along with my package, because within the first five minutes of taking the knife out of it's well-padded multi-layered safety-cocoon... I dropped it!! :eek: :mad: :( Thankfully, it was on the wood floor rather than concrete, and there was no harm done. :thumbsup: :D

The knife itself is a beauty. Fantastic, lighter-colored wood with wonderful grain on the mark side, and a nice, dark pile side with a couple small inclusions in the wood that add even more character. (I'll have to get a photo of the pile side to add later, as the darker wood wasn't showing up very well in the lighting I have at the moment.)

Now having this knife in hand, I'll say that the group photo in which Jack has been identifying everyone's knives really doesn't do some of them justice. I had a couple "favorites" that I was hoping for based on the way they looked in that photo, and I didn't get any of those, but the knife that I got has way more character in person than it does in the group photo, and I couldn't be happier with it. In fact, it's so different from the group photo that I had a hard time finding it! I finally did locate it, though, so Jack, you can go ahead and mark this one down as mine:

Thanks again, Jack, for all the work you put into bringing us these knives. I think this one might be the best so far! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Just in case there aren't any new pics posted, - here's 2 more (in the sun) of the 1st 2019 to land in the US :D
I guess I should apologize for putting up more pics, but I'm still so pleased I just can't help myself :rolleyes:
I dub thee...Fenrir

Congratulations, she's a beauty.
 
Mine landed today. It is the one below Frailer's in the group picture. It is an absolutely lovely knife...but. The nail nick on it is so shallow that I struggle to open it. If you look at the group photo, you can see that the nail nick there even appears smaller than that in the others. With the satin blade and swedge, it cannot be pinched open. Add in weak nails and the beginnings of arthritis on my end, and well...

So, anyone know anybody that has the tools and know-how to put an easy-open notch on it? I would be much obliged.
 
My wait is over also!

Mighty fine looking crop of Ironwood Lambsfoot knives that landed today. I'm so pleased with mine!

Thank you, Jack, for all that you are doing and have done to bring such handsome knives to us. I'm indebted to you, also, please thank Ashley for producing such a fine knife.

Mine is on the bottom row, left most knife that's canted horizontal, below member donn's.

Here are a couple of quick pictures. Preston

Great color, F&F! Packed and packaged great!
Thank you, Jack! You're cooler than the other side of the pillow!:cool::thumbsup:

Better photos when it ain't so dismal!
