Great news. Must be a relief. Mend quickly.

That is certainly good news!

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

No doubt about it, no matter what combination the ironwood comes out with, these are very special knives.

Maybe one of these days. My lungs and system is pretty compromised after being about a mile south of the oil well fires during Desert Storm. I get choked up with just smoked brisket!

I was there too...didn't have to spend much time in the smoke but we could see the fires on land from the ship (in the Gulf) at night. I spent ~4 months there in 1991.

Well my hat is off to you as well. Thank you for whatever you did. That was truely an ecological disaster.

Thanks for your service!!

We swept up through the neutral zone north, then east. Didn't quite make it to the shoreline. We eventually went south and gave humanitarian aid to a small Iraqi town called Safwan.
Plenty of health hazards all around for sure!
Glad you got home safe!

We came in through the Suez Canal and ended up in Dubai or Jebel Ali for quick port calls. There wasnt a whole lot to do out there in those days could barely find a place that served alcohol (we sailors liked to drink you may have heard haha). Seriously though, the oil fires, destruction and atrocities were all things I wished I didnt have to see. I was lucky to be on a ship at least but was very glad to get the heck out of there nonetheless.
Then when I thought it was over we stopped down in Mombasa, Kenya on the way home and crossed the equator so I got a serious hazing! Good times.

You folks have been busy while I've been sleeping! Just got a few minutes to catch up a little

Threw my guardian in the pocket. Helped me cut up some feed bags then sat and looked pretty for me.

Cool pic Taylor

Have a good trek my friend!

Thanks pal, hope you have a great weekend

Oh no! Not wavy spam!!!

Yeah, their mid-70's concept album was awful!

Here's to the weekend!

Have a good one Rachel, that's a nice set, great pic

Awesomely matched ironwood, Alan!

tmd_87 It's because of yours Taylor that I made the jump.
@r8shell and JTB_5 I'll take some pics of the pile side tomorrow. Spoiler alert, it's nice too.

Looking forward to seeing your pics Alan

I've been resisting buying a Lamb Chop puppet for my lambsfoot postings.

I am very thankful it is Friday.

Long week Dylan? Have a great weekend mate, looks like it's off to a good start

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

So sad! Have a great visit though John

Another ace pic Dylan

Have a great outing, Jack! Seems you have it down to a science! Would love to see one of your walking sticks!

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!
Here's one my cousin gave me from Tuscon, I love the black pottery.

Thanks, Dylan! It is a charmer!

Thanks a lot Dennis, I'll try to remember to get a group shot of all my walking sticks, maybe tomorrow Lovely pic my friend

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.

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

Yes indeed, one of their oldest advertising symbols

Thanks mitch4ging and Dwight @Fodderwing. New photo model even with a phone camera is fun. View attachment 1083208

Wow Ron, those two really are great, I could look at them all day

 

[Jack Black]

Hoping to catch up later folks, hope everyone has a great day

Morning all. These lambsfoots at becoming addictive! Spotted a bog standard A Wright rosewood one for a very good price on a UK knife purveying website so I thought I would take the chance and buy it unseen. My luck was in I got a beauty. The fit and finish is excellent, not quite GEC standard but not far off for less than a quarter of the price. I have been looking at all the ironwood pictures with a fair amount of envy but came across this thread too late to get one. So imagine my delight when the gentleman Jack Black messaged me to say he had one for me to buy. Two in a week! No pictures yet as I gave them both a polish up last night and the oil takes a good day to harden properly. So pictures to follow. Got the weekend is going well for everybody so far.

Thanks, David. As Jack mentioned we missed your postings, good to see back safe and sound.

Thanks Dave. I don't use my cellphone anymore to look at BF so I 'disappear' when I'm doing other stuff.

The knife and the food look amazing, David.

Nice! Scottish Eggs and beer? My wife wouldn't let me in the house after that lethal combination!!

Mitch, that's a shame I guess your good lady wife found that out the hard way...
Anyway cheers chaps. There Toppings pies and scotch eggs. There actually made in Doncaster in South Yorkshire and apparently supply the royal household

Sounds like a fantastic trip David, and it's nice to see your '19 getting put to good use The mill is completely fraudulent, it's in one of the formal gardens next to Roundhay Park in Leeds (near The Roundhay Fox)

Fake mills. Rubbish. Great shot though; hope you enjoy your hike today

Sure hope there Spam Sandwichs!

Mmmm....Spaaaaammm.....

I am like 12 pages behind, me and my lambsfoot are in the ER at the hospital I work at awaiting the removal of my appendix. Caught it early enjoy your weekend!

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Anyway good morning Guardians. Hope everyone has a nice weekend planned.
Mine's off to a great start

Happy Texas Independence Day (March 2), Guardians!

Remember the Alamo!

Big day and beautiful knife. Enjoy the celebration.

Have a great visit though John

It's going to be wonderful, haven't seen him in three months. Have a great weekend, Jack.

Breakfast of Champions.

 

[joeradza]

The nicest wood covered knife I've ever owned. No ifs, ands, or buts! The bottle opener and coin were gifts from Jack soon after I became active on BF.

 

[cigarrodog]

Good Morning Guardians. Gone for the day, shortly. No Lambsfoot was harmed in the making of this image.

Good looking pair.

 

[joeradza]

Good looking pair.

Same one CD. Yours looks to have a purplish tint. Cool pic.

 

[cigarrodog]

Ok Alan. Same good looking pair. I’m fairly confident that you love them both, but does one speak to you a bit more than the other?

You were honest--the pile side is just as nice as the show.
