Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I'm new here, I've never had any luck with Wright knives but my Lambfoot blades are various stamps of the Eggington group, has anyone any examples of Slaters or Adams modern production assuming they make their knives and don't just buy them in?

I can not resist posting more photos of this beauty...:):thumbsup:

Henry looks like he has it made, Dennis! ;):cool::thumbsup: What breed is he? His haircut and color remind me of Bella, our little poodle.

Like Lucy, I took my AC out of the bunch because of a flaw, the point of the blade sits slightly proud. However, I had intended to put this right, but have been so busy I haven't had time, and really, it doesn't bother me :) My Sunday choice :thumbsup:

Vince & Jack, for your knives, AC might stand for "Aristocrático Ciervo"! :thumbsup::thumbsup:;)

A little sunshine in Manchester this morning and the first time it has been sunny with my ironwood lamb in my pocket, so I thought I would get a shot to show the grain gleaming. The longer I look at the knife the better it gets.View attachment 1097276

Splendid sunny photo! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

Good morning Wayne. Same bright sun on this side of the Atlantic and unless I'm seeing things my ironwood is the matching piece to yours. Mine on the left yours on the right from your just posted photo.View attachment 1097408

Gary, you sure have a couple of handsome Lamb Foot, Black Jack looks to have had added patina from the week.

Thanks, Preston. :) You should know that I rarely post current pics of my knives, though, because knife photography is a time consuming process for me. So I think the first pic of Black Jack I posted this week may have been a "vacation shot" from early August, while the one I posted earlier today was from late September. (At other times, I may post pics that are in reverse chronological order.)

I suppose you're right, Vince, but I'd hate to see it become like the restaurant that Yogi Berra allegedly described: "Nobody goes there any more - it's too crowded." :rolleyes:

5K Qs 5K Qs nothing special for this patina, just fruits and meats.

Thanks for the info, Joshua. My knives rarely get used for much besides food prep, so they develop patina fairly quickly.

Good to see that both sides of your newest lambsfoot are very appealing!! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

As long as I'm here, how about a pic of Black Jack when he was quite new?

Thanks Jack, you too. It is my wife's birthday so I have taken her out shopping. My knife fund is depleting by the minute!

Many Happy Returns to your Good Lady Wife Wayne :) Hope shopping wasn't too painful :eek: ;) :thumbsup:

Oh no. Love Lucy's fang marks. :rolleyes:

Absolutely gorgeous grain glory.

Headed to the grandkids down south today. Y'all have a great Sunday! Another moon shot.View attachment 1097370

I have tried several times to do the multi-quote and respond to this thread today. I'm not getting something right, even though I have succeeded on previous days. Technology is great when I can get it to work.

The comments have been interesting and humorous, the pictures inspiring.

Hope all Guardians have a great Sunday and get ready for the up coming week.

Dutch wants to say HI to Ari and Henry!

Thanks for the advice, Jack, but so far an excess of spare time has not been a problem I've had to face! :rolleyes:
Thanks also for your experience-based opinions on carborundum stones. :thumbsup::cool:


David, I hope this photo of the pile side grain on my ironwood lambsfoot shows the "valley" I named the knife after:

Thanks, John.


Thanks for the kind words (and multi-quote prowess), Vince. :) A face-first bike crash would be no picnic, I'll bet! :eek: My brain must be permanently frozen: rockets for fireworks have a LONG history, as you (and Jack, below) pointed out and I apparently couldn't recall! :rolleyes:


Thanks, Jack. :)


Thanks, Taylor. :) I consider that quite a compliment, coming from you, who seems to have a patina in two days that takes me two months to get! :D:thumbsup:


Congrats, Senhor José!! That lambsfoot has glorious grain in its handles! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


:p:p


Thanks from both me and Black Jack for the kind remark, Preston. :) I was poking around the internet the other day looking at various recordings of "Shady Grove". Although most have quite similar chorus/refrain, there's a wide variety of verses that performers have used! I thought lyrics in one verse of a Doc Watson rendition were especially relevant for this thread:
When I was a little boy
I wanted a Lambsfoot knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife
(I took "poetic license" and changed "Barlow" to "Lambsfoot" in the second line. ;))


Thanks, Dwight; good to be heard from! :)


Fantastic photo of Lucy, Jack; she's looking lovely, lucid, and a little lascivious! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:


Pitch-perfect pic, John. I think I know that song: parsley, sage, rosemary, and Sköll. :thumbsup:;):thumbsup:


Stellar stag, Ron!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: (Best of luck to your Vols today, although I have Iowa in my "prediction contest". ;))


Mark, I think this is my favorite "pose" for a knife photo, especially if it's a single blade knife. :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: Almost every pic I've taken this way has turned out well, and I have to remind myself not to use it for every pic of every knife! :rolleyes: Yours here is awesome!


Nice patina on your ironwood, Joshua! :cool::thumbsup::cool: Any special uses that were major contributors to its formation?


Great pic, FBC! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: I'm convinced that there's WAY more activity on The Porch than there used to be.


Thanks for the Black Jack compliment, for the info about the Rocket name, and for the moonlit vista, David! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

One last pic of Black Jack before his week in my pocket ends:

Welcome to the thread :) Slaters have folded, Adams buy their folders in (not their fixed blades) :thumbsup:

Congrats, Ron! :thumbsup::thumbsup::) But don't expect ANY support from me next game, since I've been a Purdue fan since about 1974! :D

We’re going to Wisconsin to visit Harry and his lovely bride next weekend. Harry and I will be at the Janesville show on Friday and I’m not sure what time or day the game will be but I’ll have my phone charged for sure! By the way don’t be expecting any support from me either! The only Boilermakers I like are in glasses! :p

What are you guys talking about? Sports for 2019 don't even begin till Thursday! (MLB Opening Day, a National Holiday! Wonder why I don't have the day off?)

Vince, what does MLB stand for? Men Like Beer! :p You should try retirement. You’ll have everyday off! :D

I forgot to add today’s Lambsfoot! :eek: Got fired up over those Vols! ;)
