I have been here faithfully in spirit(and likes) and have seen wonderful things. The pancakes got to me. Next to pizza, pancakes are my favorite. My loving wife had lunch with her girlfriend, and went out of her way to Rise and Dine, a Pancake House, one of my favorite places, with a short stack(4). Thank you Dear.

Got a package from Sheffield today :D
I didn't realize how much smaller this one is, and think it will make an excellent edc. I greatly prefer the feel of the pruner handle in hand and in pocket, and see why you guys like these so much .

Congratulations :) Is that the smallest size (like the ACs)? There's only 1/8" difference between the 'small' and 'medium' Lambsfoot knives Wright's do, but it seems to make a big difference, both in hand and in pocket. I never really cared much for the small one, but my AC really won me over :) :thumbsup:

I would agree that the pull on my Lambsfoot knives are a bit strong. However, the action is so smooth that you don't even notice it once the blade starts moving. Plus, how can you not get excited when that blade snaps open with such authority. :thumbsup: :cool: :thumbsup:

'Excited' is the word John! :D I enjoy it every time :D :thumbsup:

I'm interested to hear what folks think, because I could always ask Wright's to lighten the pull with large future orders. Personally, I'd be reluctant to do that, as I think if a user finds the pull too stiff for them, the knife can be fine-tuned, and the pull strength reduced. However, the reverse isn't true :thumbsup:

Mine is a nailbreaker for sure, and that resounding "clack" certainty inspires confidence. A long time fan of the sodbuster pattern this one checks the same boxes for me; single blade, hard working knife with strong back spring, despite being a little rough around the edges. Exquisitely simple, yet perfectly handsome in the garden or out on the town.

I do like the feeling of solidity with these knives, they lock up like bank vaults :) I think the comparison with the Sodbuster is a good one, another honest working-knife :thumbsup:

I have two now. A stag that I bought off the exchange that has a smooth even pull that I'd rate about a 6 and an ironwood from the recent second group that is a rock solid 8. It just echoes the construction of mine as a whole. You know how when they close the door on a bank vault, heavy but smooth and authoritative.

Well said my friend :) :thumbsup:

I'm some what new to slip joints the ones I have had were Buck and opened easily. The two Lambsfoot that I have now were much harder to open and it took work and time to get them opening easier for me.

Are you finding them OK now Preston? I have always found the pulls on Buck knives a little light. I thought @r8shell made a good point earlier, relating to there being more to the ease of opening than the pull, I have US-made Spearpoint and Pen blades which I struggle with, yet I don't think the springs are any stronger than on my Wright knives. I also have older Sheffield knives, which open relatively easily, but that is because of wear to the tang and spring after much use :thumbsup:

These are what pancakes look like here in the US. Except the ones my mother made covered the plate. I would always eat them stacked three high, with butter and syrup, and sometimes bacon (or sausage) on the side. Yum, yum!

Fantastic stuff Vince, what a pic :) :thumbsup:

We had Ployes - a French Canadian pancake - with blueberries - lots of amber maple syrup and bacon.
That was our Shrove Tuesday dinner. Can't go wrong with anything that involves Maine Blueberries and maple syrup. :thumbsup: Not just for Tuesday eating either ;)

Very interesting Ray :) I do like simple toppings for my pancakes (something which eluded me yesterday), blueberries and maple syrup sounds like just the ticket :thumbsup: When I was a kid, you couldn't get maple syrup here, and folks used to sometimes use cane syrup - so sweet you can practically feel your teeth complaining! :eek: :D :thumbsup:

Awww, that's sweet :) Incredible pic, the stag of your Lambsfoot and those pancakes were made for each other! :D :thumbsup:

A little review. As expected from having my Ashley’s Choice, this ironwood needed a good cleaning and some reprofiling of the edge. I am surprised at the pull weight! It is stiffer than the last run of GEC 71s. I’d say 8, maybe 9, and with a solid thwack open and gator snap closed. This knife isn’t flimsy at all! I do think part of the strength may come from a slightly uneven tang—there is a gap that seems a bit wider at half pull than when closed or open. Doesn’t affect the centering when open or closed from what I can tell. Transitions are all smooth, nice flush pins, consistent finish on the handle scales and blade. This one is a keeper. It is noticeably bigger than the AC but very comfortable in hand. The rest probably speaks for itself.

I do realize that I need a new sharpening system. A lower grit would have made quicker work of reprofiling than my 1200 water stone. I still need to do a bit more but the edge is even and sharp enough to slice up phone book paper.

Great work Joshua, and an excellent post :) :thumbsup:

JTB_5 said:
Thanks! The tip and butt near the tang had quite a lot of metal still, so it took me a good twenty minutes or so just to get a straight edge going. The edge is set now, but could use some refining to get it hair popping sharp. But it cuts now!

It looks good Joshua, nice work :thumbsup:

Thank you, O Grand Poobah of the Lambsfoot ;):D
