Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Edited as suggested I thought not providing a link covered it.

Very interesting and educational Jack. I love learning something new. So I am assuming J.D.Ware was embarking on making lambsfoot knives?

Thanks Dwight, actually Jerry under-blades all his folders. However, he did make this interesting knife

How long ago was that, Jack?
I was just outside with Dutch and these Pronghorns were grazing about 150- 200 yards out on the rancher's land. Several of the does were curious and began to come toward us. I took these photos to document the event.

It would have been in the first half of the 1980's Preston, when our gun laws were RELATIVELY relaxed Those are cool pics, it must be great having all that open country

Amazing pics Dwight, I knew we would see some great ones of the Damascus knives here

Stag for Wednesday:

Cool key-fob Vince, goes nicely with your AC

The home inspector was here this morning, we will know on Thursday if its a go. I sure don't want to go through this stress again that's for sure.
Oh yeah, my wife booked a hearing test in Calgary for me on Monday, I don't know why?

Good luck Dave

LOL!

Allow me Jack to lay some more knife content on this baby - - View attachment 1107708

Outstanding Dwight, keep 'em coming!

I can tell how excited you are Dwight. And rightfully so. I’ve grown accustomed to the apparent fact that covers on these Sheffield Lambs don’t always match. I see it now as a plus. On yours, each side is gorgeous. A beautiful brown on one side, and a handsome black on the other. Photographically speaking, it’s like having two knives. And the Damascus pattern is out of this world on all of these knives. Happy for you my friend, as well as the others.

Jack Black deserves big time Kudos for his vision in creating this project. Simply Brilliant, Jack.

As for hearing, funny or strange as it might sound, I cherish my hearing loss. Half the the things I hear, I wish I didn’t.

Thanks Harvey, it is an exhausting process trying to drag the Sheffield cutlers into the 19th century

I don't think they really understand about matching stag. At one time the big Sheffield firms would have had someone who dealt with that perhaps. I'm not sure Wright's even pair it in advance, they may do, but it might be that the cutler just picks pieces out of a box. I'll try bringing it up, but I always have a long list of what, though they aren't, sound like complaints. I'd be happy to spend a couple of hours matching their stag up for them

A most apropos post my friend. I love the disparate scales for the exact reasons you stated. An I concur on your salute to our Jack Black. He has been on a roll the past couple of years. Like a rocket on rails. Thank you Harvey.

Thanks Dwight, it's not always been easy

I figure that's what's going to happen to me The one problem I have had for at least 30 years is ringing in the ears. One day I realized they were ringing 24/7
and has never stopped If it's too quiet in the house it can just about drive you over the bend, so I always have some sort of white noise on a fan or air cleaner unit going.

That's a terrible thing Dave, I have another pal with the same problem I'm amazed that my own hearing has survived seemingly intact, at the moment, it's one of the few things that still works as it should!

Maybe I'll make you a tape to play in the quiet moments my friend, with the words 'DON'T FORGET THE LAMBSFOOT CONTENT!' endlessly repeating!

Yeah, I sleep with the fan on.

One of my totes for Wednesday.

You too Vince?

It can be quite hilarious sometimes communication between the wife and I

Thanks for the pic

I’ve had hearing difficulties all my life. Originally it was from a wax build up in the inner ear(not from dirty ears, silly). This led to a lifetime of ENT visits. I didn’t help matters by overexposing myself to loud music, playing in a band, and constantly assauting my hearing, listening with headphones.

I can’t do anything about all the cilia I’ve destroyed, but I have been taught a way cleaning my ears with Debrox, water, and a bulb plunger. I’m too stubborn to get a hearing aid.

Ok, Ok... Lambsfoot content.

Cool pic Harvey, nice SAmbar on your Candle-end, there aren't too many of those

Morning Guardians, hope a few more packages show up today, enjoying everyone's pics

Thought I'd carry my ebony '18 for a change

Good Morning Guardians

 

[Half/Stop]

Beautiful lambs abound today. Congratulations to all you Guardians that have received your Damascus examples. They’re all very beautiful knives! I hope to have mine in hand sometime in the near future. It has been doing a lot of traveling. It’s even been received and departed from the same USPS facility two times in two days. At least it’s in the correct state for now. I’ve got an Ebony for today. Hope y’all have a great day!

That there is just a superb example of cutlery craftsmanship, wonderfully photographed!

Dave that is a great photo...beautiful knife and use of lighting.

I’ve had hearing difficulties all my life. Originally it was from a wax build up in the inner ear(not from dirty ears, silly). This led to a lifetime of ENT visits. I didn’t help matters by overexposing myself to loud music, playing in a band, and constantly assauting my hearing, listening with headphones.

Ok, Ok... Lambsfoot content.

Neat Derringer in that well composed photo, what make is it?
I have used that same cleaning method and it has helped. Having lost high frequency hearing above 7000 Hz, I do try to protect what hearing I have left.

Good shot of your 'Black Sheep', Jack. It is nice to be able to enjoy firearm ownership and have access to a nice place to use them. I love the wide open spaces and go into town only when I have to. With so many products available by internet

Mark, your Lambsfoot's Ironwood looks so smooth and satiny, great photo.

Good Morning Guardians

Morning John, all attention is directed to your Lambsfoot, very effective!

Hope your Damascus Lambsfoot arrives soon, Ron. That nice Ebony one will suffice...at leas for a while.

Guardians, it's not a nice morning here, fog, drizzle and the threat of rain and snow today and tomorrow. Tracking shows that my Damascus Lambsfoot left the UK on the 5th...but, nothing since then. Oh well, I do have a few toys to play with Hope your day is a good one.

Pretty cool toys, Preston!

Thanks Vince, I'm really eating a lot of fruit at the moment

You're setting a good example for us. I really should eat more fruit myself.

Sorry to hear about the weather, hope you have a good day anyway Preston Tracking can be unreliable, hope you get your Damascus soon

It was pretty cool here this morning, but the afternoon is completely different, gorgeous, sunny weather. Unfortunately, I am struggling, after a virtually sleepless night last night

 

[Jack Black]

It is easy not to Vince, I have never eaten a great deal myself, but I've been making an effort lately. I do enjoy it if I actually start eating it

Thank you Jack, sorry about your restless, sleepless night. Do you have any clue as to what might have caused it?
I realize that tracking can only happen if the package goes through a facility that has scanning and the route USPS takes to me maybe includes a black hole/void The '19 Guardian's Lambsfoot took longer than most, so it's reasonable that this one too will take time.

 

[pjsjr]

Another plus is that you get to use a Lambsfoot for the chore of cutting it up!
