Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Prester John]

You know it's going to be a good day if when you go to the post box and you have a package from Leeds. Thank you Jack for my new lambsfoot, folding rule, patch and pin. You are one of the most generous men I have had the privilege to know.

Awesome stuff, Randy! Jack's a Jolly Good Fellow.

Scary face... Beautiful knife, Dave.

Thanks, John happy face

 

[solphilos]

Nice knives as usual fellas. Here to a good weekend!
Mines starting to break in nicely, and even a wee bit of patina forming.
I've got to get myself a stag soon, its suits the pattern well.

I like that!!!

 

[Fodderwing]

Wow...… A gorgeous pair Dwight!

Thank you Brent!

My flock:

I've got wood and horn and stag. No bone, yet. I think a lambsfoot would look good in smooth white bone, but I think that about most patterns.

 

[cigarrodog]

No. It isn’t.

r8shell a nice portrait of your flock.

Prester John What a cool shot!

solphilos And to a good weekend to you and your Lamb.

r8shell a nice portrait of your flock.

Thank you. It's hard to get the gold highlights in the ironwood to show without some better sunlight.

 

[dc50]

No. It isn’t.

I'm glad it arrived Randy I have been so busy recently, I've not had much of a chance to send out many gifts, but hope to be able to make up for that soon. You are very kind my friend You should find your new Lambsfoot here somewhere

Hope you enjoyed it, Jack.

...

Congratulation, Randy.
Jack is a generous man indeed!

I did thanks John, costs as much as a bottle of wine here, but it's a tasty beverage Thank you for the kind words my friend

Carl most definitely. Buzzbait probably. But pull strength is subjective. My only lambsfoot, a small rosewood, is a good representative of the breed. After using her for a bit, most of my other knives seem softly sprung. Nevertheless I am still able to pinch her open.

These knives are known for having strong pulls. If a person doesn't like that, he should stay away. Just as I refrain from buying friction folders like higonokamis and Opinels.

Good perspective Christian, though I don't think these knives deserve a reputation as "nail-breakers"

Awesome stuff, Randy! Jack's a Jolly Good Fellow.

Thanks Vince

That's looking very nice

Cool composition Vince, and a lovely crisp pic, which shows your Lambsfoot blade off to perfection

A fine family photo Rachel I agree with you about the smooth bone

Morning folks, I'm just calling in quickly as I'm about to depart for a trip to York. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Stag for Saturday

I always thought the best emergency ration was whisky?!

Thank you. It's hard to get the gold highlights in the ironwood to show without some better sunlight.

Nice pic Rachel No sunshine here today, hope it stops raining at some point

 

[donn]

Nice to have those to chose from, variety is the spice of life!

I like the Spyderco Sharpmaker which is like the Lansky...nice family there!

Thanks! Several others recommended the Sharpmaker, but I went with the Lansky as it's half the price. If it doesn't work out I'll get a Sharpmaker.

Looks like your '19 has been getting plenty of use

Always...

"A family photo"……. I'm a knife newbie...… I came upon the BF site about a year ago during a search for something on the internet..….(I bet other old guys like me will remember when you used to use the "Thomas Register" to find things)...…. Anyway, I bought a knife around that time which started me down the proverbial rabbit hole...…… One very pleasant arm of the hobby is the Lambsfoot group & their thread dealing with that specific knife...…… Being an inquisitive cuss I acquired a Lambsfoot knife direct from Sheffield..... Then another...…..Then another..... And another...…… And now the 2019 Lambsfoot….. So I thought I'd post a family photo for Lambsfoot aficionados to enjoy...…... View attachment 1087143

Two very handsome herds there folks

I'm glad you told me what that was. I was thinking, "What's that Englishman eating now?"

And my first thought was "I didn't know they made round corned beef..."

What's lettuce? Never heard of the stuff

Hope everyone has a nice weekend planned.

That's a great picture of your flock...nice patina on the older ones too.

I agree with you about the smooth bone

I like the smooth white bone idea also. There are just to many knives and so little time! Have a good trip Jack...thanks for all you have done and will do.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend planned.

I use the Sharpmaker quite a bit, mostly to touch up a blade. I have the Edge Pro and a Norton course/fine stone but lately I've been using the DTM diamond stones, they cut very well.. I like motion of the process. It's the way I started and I keep going back to it.

What a cool photo David there's so much history whereas over here I think this is the oldest building we have is the NWMP barracks

How old is that building?
