Thanks to you my friend!

What do you think?

Moai.

Great! I've signed you up for the Bull Riding.

Yikes! Is Pancake Eating not a sport?!

Sorry Dave, missed your post before

Thanks Jack! I feel very fortunate to have these six Guardians! It may seem strange to some people, but I really can’t pick a favorite!

Try Taco Bell: ate there yesterday for under $4! (Not GREAT cuisine but fast and cheap!)

Vince, I was refer to sit-down meals that are ordered from a person at your table and served using real plates and utensils.

A diamond in the rough? Baseball or knives or both?

Thanks Jack! I feel very fortunate to have these six Guardians! It may seem strange to some people, but I really can’t pick a favorite!

I can understand that Ron, they each have their own beauty I think Your Midnight Special is certainly the rarest, I don't even have one myself, having gifted mine to Peregrin

OG, great visuals to accompany the commentary. I couldn't figure out how to pose the subjects in my pancake breakfast this AM. Eat them anyway

I finally was able to persuade all my Guardians to get together for a family portrait! It was quite an accomplishment! You have never in your life heard such bickering and whining over which one was the prettiest! I finally had to threaten to lock them away in the safe and only carry my other models. That shut them up in a second with no more problems!

Good job Ron, nice photo.

I don't think I knew that, Jack. I'm honored to be it's custodian.

Then you are right!

It has been said many times before but honestly not enough. Jack Black you are truly an ambassador to the lambsfoot and a wonderful member of these forums. I want to pass my sincere thanks for all that you do.

A package arrived from across the pond late last evening and I could barely contain my excitement. This is my first lambsfoot and I must say it's stunning. The ironwood on these knives is so beautiful it's hard to try and capture with words how cool it really is. I would love to own an ebony someday but this knife has set a pretty high bar for all future lambsfoot knives.

The action on my knife is like many others, not for the faint of heart. I would rate it a solid 9 out of 10. At first I almost thought something was preventing it from opening. This thing opens and shuts like an alligator! I have been opening and closing it with a wash cloth wrapped around the blade when working the action to ensure I don't receive a nasty bite. I saturated the pivot area with WD-40, blew some canned air through it and whipped off any gunk before oiling it with some nano oil. Then I continued to work it back and forth as my time has permitted over the last few hours. It's loosening up some and I hope it continues.

I don't have the type of knife collection that a few prominent members of these forums have but I do have some nice knives that I feel very blessed to own. This knife will no doubt take a special place in my collection. I fully intend to put it in my rotation and use it.

More to follow... Thanks again Jack

Oh my yes that one is yet another glamour model. What an amazing batch of ironwood! Jack Black thanks again oh master navigator.

Nice photo, lovely canister John, what is it's use?

Thanks, it was my mother-in-law's. Not sure what she did with it but my kids store tea in there.

What do you think?

Too much tequila I think... Sure is a pretty knife though.

Morning John, nice pic

Thanks, Jack.

I thought the whole point of pancakes was that they were inexpensive and filling? Hmm....not sure what has happened here, pancakes seem to have become a luxury item, and are no longer the simple, honest staple they once were here They even LOOK different (traditionally pancakes were crepes here)!

I hiked across town to a place that were advertising a Pancake Day bonanza - they didn't even have pancakes! They had what they were selling as 'drop scones' (and they couldn't even pronounce that correctly!!), and there was no choice at all! Two small bought-in "drop scones" with mushrooms and foliage, (they were actually quite tasty, but after a 3 mile walk, I'd have probably found a garden hedge tasty) - £10 with a cup of coffee!

I was hoping for something better in another place also advertising their Pancake Day experience. They had a sweet option - mango sorbet, flaked almonds, and coconut ice-cream - it was tasty, but where's the darn pancake?! £11 with coffee! Think they saw me coming!

Not like the pancakes I'm used to, that's for sure. Here we mostly have buttermilk pancakes that come in big 'ol stacks. Usually pretty cheap too. I think IHOP has all-you-can-eat for about $5

I believe the reason pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday is to use up ingredients that used to be given up for lent, like butter, eggs, milk, etc. It wasn't just meat that was given up. I will enjoy my dinner tonight, and whatever snacks I may eat. Fasting tomorrow.

Incidentally, I think you are right about pancakes being a staple here. My mother used to make them often. Don't eat them much anymore, but many do.

Happy Mardi Gras, y'all!

That's interesting, Vince. Lent is indeed starting but we've whittled it down to no meat on Fridays. Even that is becoming voluntary.

Great! I've signed you up for the Bull Riding.

Lol... Post of the day!

Maybe THAT was the post of the day? Looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

What a lovely group.

Too bad, they are lovely and nice to look at.

Beautiful knife. Congratulation.

Great reading folks
Ron - that’s just plain greedy seriously- lovely group of knives.

Interesting reading what pgg365247 said about the very strong pull - that’s like going back to the early Sheffield days.
Jack matey - what is the general feedback of the rate of the pull with this latest run Sir?

I don't think I knew that, Jack. I'm honored to be it's custodian.

It was my honour Gary, you're a great friend

I'm glad it made the long journey my friend Thank you for those wonderful photos, and for the very kind words. Welcome to the Guardians!

Thanks Dwight

I was robbed!

I'm probably not the best person to ask Duncan, the pull on mine is just what I'd expect from a Sheffield knife, authoritative, but I certainly don't struggle to open it, not in the least, and it's pinchable. It'd be interesting to hear what others think though I have yours packaged up for when you visit, but if you want, I can open them up and oil and blow out the joints?
