I’m not telling anyone to get a Senator, but for me, it’s an instant friend.

Love it Harvey. The Senator in that stag is gorgeous.

Has anyone else ordered or received one of the new Wrights two blade Lambsfoot variations

I wish I had! Sweet combo Neal.

Another great shot of your beautiful horn. Thanks Kevin.

Great pic Dwight

Thanks Jack. Did you get your ironwood lamb back?

Another stunning photo of the scary totem lamb.

Great ironwood you have there. Love Fats.

I have to share this story I heard today By the mid 1970's, the once-great Sheffield cutlery house of Joseph Rodgers, despite having taken over its long-term rival George Wostenholm (IXL), was on it's last legs, and was first bought by the relative newcomer Richards of Sheffield, and then in turn by Imperial. The move to the Richard's factory was not popular with the Rodgers-Wostenholm cutlers, and possibly even less so with the Rodgers management, if indeed there was a place for them at Richards at all. They still held loads of the old Rodgers and Wostenholm stock, from blades and parts to finished knives, but the cutlers were simply told to "Get rid of it" by their old gaffers, and the nearest place to dump it all was in the River Sheaf, which ran next to the factory! So out of the windows it went! News went round, and a few handfuls of penknives were rescued, but some of them may still be rusting away in the river, or were washed away decades ago

Thanks Jack. Did you get your ironwood lamb back?

I did Dwight, thanks for asking Ashley was shocked how much damage there had been to it, but did a great job of restoring it. Here it is

I also finally got this one back - from last year's Guardian's run! It had a couple of hammer-marks on the blade, so needed to have them polished out, and have the blade re-etched

Sorry for the very poor quality pics

Looks like they did a great job, Jack. They look like brand new knives.

Great looking knives. Have you named the other ironwood knife? I know you rechristened the fellow that dropped it.

Ashley is doing mighty fine work! We should make up a signed framed foto somehow? with our names thanking him for his fine work.

Oh my yes, they are very very nice. Good things come to those who wait... Beware of BFO's in the future ... ... . . They are heavenly my friend! Bravo!

haha the poor totem, it's only Scary if you look at it the wrong way.

Yes indeed John, I was glad they didn't have to replace the covers entirely, a very skillful job

Great looking knives. Have you named the other ironwood knife? I know you rechristened the fellow that dropped it.

I have never named any of my knives in the past, it's the fault of this thread! Before the BFO had hold of it, it was simple known as 'The Sample'! That's how long ago it is, the other knives hadn't even been made

I reckon that would take a lot of organising Dave, and some great Photoshop skills!

Thank you Dwight That BFO is not coming within a sword's length of me, let alone Lambsfoot Grabbing Range!

I like the fact that the other blade is a clip point. Nice knife.

Jack Black Thank you Jack. Cool that you talked to the maker. It’s in fine fettle for knife that’s 15 years old.

dc50 Great colorful image, Dave.

Fodderwing Thank you so much, Dwight. That’s a fine portrait of your Lamb.

Jack Black Threw them out like it was rubbish. One man’s treasure, etc. I suppose. I also read the Captain Jack account, both yours and others. An inspiring beautiful true story. Then I see a movie was made, but then I see Capt. Jack has passed. What a guy.

They're giving a discount throughout today

Ashley's dad, it's his pattern

Yes, so much other stuff must have gone the same way Most of the Sheffield cutlery firms went bust overnight, they shut up shop, and walked away I'm glad you liked the story of the Helga Maria, the film is supposed to be rotten unfortunately Definitely a great old sea dog

 

[cigarrodog]

@JackBlack Must be an April Fools’ joke. Couldn’t find it.

 

[pjsjr]

No April Fool's joke here, folks...I pulled a bonehead stunt yesterday. After returning from my travels and procuring a few things needed for a couple of projects, I started on one. This required the use of a drill press and a small piece of brass sheeting. I was in a hurry and knew better but, I held the brass piece with my fingers and started to drill. The bit caught in the soft brass and spun it into my finger. Lots of blood and pain. So I'm telling you, you can teach an old dog new tricks. It hurts, in several ways, to type this...

I'm glad you got your Ironwood Sample back, and looking so good.

I'm carrying mine today, no joke!
