Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Fantastic Ron, thanks for taking the time to post those fine pics.:):thumbsup:

Apart from the chance to enjoy seeing your superb knife again, I'm interested in the silhouette/side profile lines of classic Lambsfoot knives.

That 'Radiant of yours has a gracefully tapering blade spine down to the tip, and a nice continuous flow from handle end to blade tip. Some Lambsfoot knife handles rise to a slight kind of hump, just around the pivot area, and the spine and blade edge drop below horizontal towards the tip.

Your are welcome my friend! I am glad to be able to help in any small way I can to help spread the appreciation and respect for this fine pattern. :)

That's very kind of you, Lee.

The Lambshank was an attempt at making a light, handy, high performance fixed blade version of a Lambsfoot pocketknife.

It arose out of an earlier discussion in this thread.

There's more on the Lambshank here.

Once I get those old posts fixed up, I'll put some notes together for a progress review.

Thanks for all and the link now fully explains that knife :D ... That is awesome Chin - personally I think it is so very well designed from the handle to blade - and just looks so comfortable in the hand :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ... Great job !!! I can truly see a market for that style of fixed handle lamb foot... I would be one of those on the line waiting to get mine :)...

Cheers
Lee
 
hopefully some of em make it to me before I leave for the rendezvous

Sorry to have to repeat this, but this thread is for discussing Lambsfoot knives, not the details of the buying of Lambsfoot knives, nor the difficulties you may or may not be having in doing that. If anyone is having problems getting hold of a Lambsfoot knife, they are welcome to contact me by PM, and I'm sure lots of our other regular posters will also be happy to help. If your posts contradict the non-commercial nature of this thread, which for me simply echo the spirit of sub-forum guidelines, which used to be universally respected here, please be good enough to edit your posts.

Thanks

That looks like a nice one Tom, glad it arrived :) I find the larger blades are a bit easier to open than the smaller ones. Looking forward to seeing more of your knife, and to reading your further thoughts on it my friend :) :thumbsup:

Yorkshire Day here tomorrow, so I'll be out celebrating with a trusty Lambsfoot in my pocket :thumbsup:

Excellent knives again folks! One of my favorite threads.

Had a package waiting for me on my return from a vacation.

It is a large AWS lambfoot. I went back and forth on scales, but ultimately decided on ....
I was able to work with the vendor on getting a nice example: centered blade, flush pins and matched scales. Edge is serviceable but not great. W&T is good, but will benefit from Chin's minstrations. All in all I'm very pleased. It's in my pocket today and will stay there for a while.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

To finish, I'm sure the Space Shuttle pattern will be taking off soon, rocketing into the constellation of all time stars, ... I could go on, but won't. (Ugh, just couldn't resist.):eek:o_O:p

would you say they are pinchable?
 
This is probably my favorite Lambfoot knife (As stamped on the blade - also known as a Lambsfoot!:)). Joseph Rodgers & Sons. Amazing jigged bone, thunderous snap with an 8-9 pull, just the way I like them! Double Rattail Bolsters, and a traditionally shaped blade and stovepipe kick. I may have pictured it before; but these are new scans.
3 7/8" of Uber-Lambey!!:D

It is a large AWS lambfoot. I went back and forth on scales, but ultimately decided on rosewood over horn as I like wood for a go-anywhere EDC. (Am thinking however I may need one with horn after seeing Jack and FBC's wonderfully contrasty recent horn offerings.:cool:) On the other hand, no need to deliberate on size: unlike others I prefer a solid 4-finger handle and don't mind the larger size in the pocket.

I was able to work with the vendor on getting a nice example: centered blade, flush pins and matched scales. Edge is serviceable but not great. W&T is good, but will benefit from Chin's minstrations.

Congrats on your Lambsfoot Tom !!! The grain of the Rosewood is really nice. They did pick out a nice one for you . I agree with you on a 4 finger knife for a user .
