Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[cigarrodog]

That's a stunner, Harvey. Congrats!

Thank you, Sir.

OLd_gUY Looks Sharp!

Jack Black The Damascus adds a wonderful touch. Thank you Jack. I knew you would appreciate my wes’kit.

tmd_87 Here’s to your D Lamb coming soon, Taylor.

 

[Jack Black]

Thank you. It took some time but I adapted and overcame

Good stuff, what was the steel itself like to sharpen?

Still impatiently awaiting the arrival of my new damascus lamb...maybe today...

Hope so Taylor

Looks great, I had my shooting vest on yesterday, though I didn't get to do any shooting unfortunately

 

[OLd_gUY]

Good stuff, what was the steel itself like to sharpen?

It was harder (Rockwell ) than I expected. I used my KME and it was certainly up to the task. I reprofiled to 20 degrees per side and had to drop to a lower grit than I wanted to achieve it. So it took a while to take care of the scratch patterns as I went up in progression.
In retrospect I probably should have just matched the factory edge and stopped at 600, then stropped which would have given a more than satisfactory "toothy" edge. But I get a wild hair every once in a while and wanted to give this beauty something special

Just listening to some Frank Sinatra, and thought I'd treat myself to a beer and some spicy Spanish olives. No sooner cracked the can when Windows took it upon itself to change all my default programs, so then I have to sit there with no music, drinking my beer, while tediously sorting out their latest SNAFU. Why did that company decide to commit commercial suicide, I'd never choose to buy another Windows product?

Signed my outof Imgur too!

Yeah, they said the steel was harder than usual. It looks like you certainly did something special there OG

 

[WDJ]

Those Damascus lambs look rather splendid. The cutlers at Wright's really seem to be on a winning streak at the moment.

No record player? Or even a CD player? Ah, well, at least you had the beer & olives! (Making me hungry.)

 

[Fodderwing]

Yeah, I sleep with the fan on.

Same here and have for many years.

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

Gorgeous pics Dave as always.

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.

Great comp Harvey and the stag is really nice. My conceal carry is almost always a derringer. I'll try to get a photo.

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

I really like his work Jack. That is a beauty.

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

Gracias

Outstanding Dwight, keep 'em coming!

Otra vez!

Lambsfoot only

Wonderful and the color!!!

Hump day! 2 more wake ups and its the weekend.

You really captured the richness of the ironwood Mark.

I can't see or hear, but I sure can smell!

I can see. Hearing is not so great. Absolutely no sense of smell.

Good Morning Guardians

That lamb shot brings one to attention!

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!

Beautiful Ron. Seems like all of your ebonies are ultra black!

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

Much obliged Preston.

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

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.

Super nice western rig and cutlery.

I will keep my posts brief

You'd best not change a thing my friend.

View attachment 1107939 View attachment 1107939 View attachment 1107939 View attachment 1107940 Still can't decide which side I like the best!

I can see why. That is a stunning knife both mark and pile!

Congratulations to all of you, Guardians, who have received or will receive the magnificent Lambsfoot of Damascus!!!
I for today have in company this green/brown bone.

You keep showing it and I'll keep saying it. I love that green jigged bone.

@dc50 Dave...I keep telling you. Don’t change a thing. Just be you. That’s plenty good, Pal.

Jack Black I have sleep apnea. Had a terrible time adjusting. Mr. Stubborn, I suppose. I respect the ones that can adjust. BTW...Thank you for the fabulous two knives.

I’ve been super busy today which is the reason for the slow roll. I missed out on the one I thought I wanted. Besides Mr. Stubborn, they call me Mr. Procrastinator. Anyway, the first is the Snakewood. It’s righteous. I’ll show that later. But the Senator gives me great joy. I really, really love it. The covers suit me to a T. Ashley hand made a real gem. Off to the next chore.
PS. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Thank you also for the pin, too, my friend.

Wow Harvey! Rugged terrain on that striking stag senator. They really nailed it with these knives. Awesome photo too.

 

[Jack Black]

Right, I'm having another! :grumpy:

Dedicating this to Dave @dc50

Sinatra's best albums (in my not very humble opinion) are "Songs for Swingin' Lovers," "In the Wee Small Hours," and "Only the Lonely." Think I'll listen to some tonight.

 

[gunstockjack]

That is an exceptional knife Dwight!

 

[Jack Black]

No record player? Or even a CD player? Ah, well, at least you had the beer & olives! (Making me hungry.)

Yeah, but I felt I had to sort it out!

I really like his work Jack. That is a beauty.

Me too, it is very distinctive I should order something at some point. The problem here is though, we pay so much in import duty and tax, you pay for everything twice over

I was walking up my road today, and I thought I saw one of my neighbours with her father, who I met briefly before a few years back, and while Basque, he mainly speaks Spanish. When I turned round to say Hi, I realised it was actually his wife he was with, who looks the image of her daughter. They are visiting, but neither of them speak any English. It was a bit weird having to suddenly switch to Spanish, which I haven't spoken in 10 years. When I was saying goodbye to them, I accidentally spoke Arabic, which I've spoken more recently The father didn't recognise me from before, and the Mother I never met, I think they must have thought I was just some crazy guy

I was brought up on them Vince, 'course I wouldn't have ever let my dad know I liked his music!

Actually, that wasn't true as I got older, we both had a love of jazz, and he knew far more about it than me

Great story. Sometimes the people that know me best think I'm crazy.

Fantastic pic Wayne Yes, I think we are lucky to get young Ashley's work while we can afford it. That lad has much greater things ahead of him I'm sure

Gorgeous pic of your AC Dwight

GREAT looking brews there Jack. CHEERS

Thanks Taylor, hope we can sit down to a few together one day

 

[cigarrodog]

Fodderwing Thank you Dwight. Looking good yourself.

 

[Pt-Luso]

That looks great Jose

Many thanks Jack, I just do not understand why few people have this knife (in bone), when it seems that everyone likes it, I think it is very good and well built, for me a lot better than the stag I bought!!!

 

[Pt-Luso]

You keep showing it and I'll keep saying it. I love that green jigged bone.

Thank you Dwight, but sorry for the bluntness, if you like it so much it's time to buy one, it's not difficult and it's relatively cheap!!!
