Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

First and foremost my thanks and appreciation to Jack Black Jack Black . Thanks Jack. It arrived late so I grabbed it so it wouldn't be lonely in the mailbox. A couple of quick shots with my phone.

I can't speak for others but this example is stunning. It has strikingly beautiful wood. The pull is a solid 7-8 and nice and even right through to fully ope n. The blade is centered and sharp. The backspring is nice and even both open and closed. There are no gaps. If this is how they make 'work' knives, maybe they have a future in this cutlery business. hahaha!View attachment 1083028 View attachment 1083029

It’s a beauty Alan! :thumbsup: :) I’ve been sitting here admiring mine and I thought I might as well let all of you Guardians enjoy them as well! :D

Thanks. It seems they sell other things besides knives on ebay. :eek: This could be a problem for me. I came very close to bidding on a Stanley 101 thumb plane just because I thought it was nifty.
I do collect old small tools, but the disturbing thing is that there are some that I actually use, but can only buy as antiques because they don't make them any more. Makes me feel old.

I'm going to visit my son at college. So, no Lambsfoot for me this weekend. :(

You mean he won't have a loaner for you when you get off the plane? Have fun anyway. :D

I like it! My brother works at Los Alamos, usually when I go back home, I'll go through Portales, Roswell, Ruidoso on down to Silver City. I hate Albuquerque and Santa Fe, but I owe my brother visit, so I'll have him keep an eye out for one!

I visited Albuquerque once, and had a nice time, but I don't know much about it besides that. It kind of reminded me of Austin without the water. We had a wild time doing the tourist thing in Roswell, too!

I love draught Guinness Stout and I'm quite taken by the Toucan but I don't, for the life of me, get this connection. :confused: The lovely one eyed lambsfoot somehow bridges the incongruity of this odd juxtaposition. :)

"The Guinness toucan was developed for an advertising campaign by John Gilroy in the 1930s"

I think we could put together a fantastic calendar, although it would be tough to select the twelve best photos.

That's a contender right there. :thumbsup:

Oh no! :eek: Not wavy spam!!!:eek:

I'm not a doctor, but maybe this is one situation where the lambsfoot is not the best knife for the job. I'd go with a scalpel. :p
Seriously, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

That's a beaut, for sure. How does the pile side look? (full disclosure: I'm so goofy after a long stressful week, I was thinking, "Boy, he's got the closest matching sides of any of this run." until I realized those were both mark side pictures.)

Here's to the weekend!

I have been admiring both your Lambfoot and your drafting set . Believe it or not , I had to train on using the Inking attachments but ultimately never had to make any production drawings with them . The company that I worked for at the time , went to Mylar drawing material and stopped using ink . Who was the maker of your set ???

Thank you kindly. Ahh...Tucson. My home away from home. That pottery is beautiful.

@Pàdruig That Smoke looks good to the last puff.

Thanks!
I have a cousin and an aunt still in Tucson, but haven't been there in several years. Where is your other home? Hopefully someplace cooler!

He's only a four hour drive away. He's not allowed to have a knife on campus and since I will be spending so much time with him on campus I'll be limited in what I can legally carry. It's probably not a big deal, I'm sure I can get away with carrying whatever I want on school campuses, but I know the rules and I'm a big rule follower. California campus carry is limited to a non-locking knife with a blade that is 2-1/2" or less. I think a #14 or #15 will be my carry this weekend. I'll be sure to throw the Lambsfoot in my pocket Sunday evening when I get home so it doesn't think I forgot about it.

That's very cool. I've never tried to use the ink tools, I buy the sets for the small dividers. I'm not sure of the maker (in fact, it's possible not all of the tools are originally from the same set) but I see D.R.P. stamped on a couple of the tools. o_O

Yeah, I'm sure there's a whole city beyond the UFO museums and gift shops, but we didn't see much of that. :D

Oh, I see. Things are rather different in Texas. Let's just say the "campus carry" law passed here a few years ago allows concealed carry of guns (with c.c. license) on all college campuses. I'm not sure what the rules are in dorms. Anyway, have fun!

So in my defense, it's been a very long day ... but... I looked at this post and thought ------ "Oh my goodness!! Ray has an ironwood lamb every bit as amazing as Taylor's!!!!"....... "Actually... It looks just like Taylor's!!!!!" :rolleyes:

Sorry - my bad. Never even occurred to me give credit to Taylor. I guessed it was obvious.:( I will edit my post with the proper tribute :thumbsup:
