Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Thanks for the comments on the IXL guys; here are some more shots after cleaning many year's worth of crud from the covers. I couldn't tell at first what they were made of, but they are for sure very dark jigged bone:

size comparison:

Very nice indeed Barry, thank you for showing us a bit more of that beauty

Happy Easter, Passover, or whatever holiday you celebrate!

Would this be considered a lambs foot or a Wharncliffe????

That's a Lambsfoot Barry Wright's don't currently make a Wharncliffe (though I've recently let them photograph some of mine ). They do a few Lambsfoot knives with that rounded nose, but a Wharncliffe blade would curve back evenly from the point to the tang. Certainly a great-looking knife. I have this one, but it's a second, with some cracks in the Snakewood.

Here, this is a very old-fashioned holiday, the longest holiday of the year, and the ancient ritual of 4 days/5 nights of boozing is vigorously observed!

Thank you Jack. Always looking forward to your cultural references. Any one’s for that matter.

Thank you Harvey, most of my cultural references are lost on folks outside these forums!

I believe that’s a Lambsfoot, Barry, but Jack Black knows best. Definitely not Wharncliffe. Very nice snake wood covers.

I carry a lambsfoot...

...because how else am I going to open my bag of Tabasco flavoured Jelly Bellies?

How 'bout you?

Wow! Nice find on those Jelly Babies Vince (and a nice pic of your AC)

I've packed all my knives except my worker ebony. This has to be way up there with what stresses you out? I won't see any relief until the end of May or first of June.
Yesterday my whole body was literally shaking inside I had to sit down and let it pass, I don't know what that was, sure hope it doesn't happen again
So my friends have a peaceful Easter weekend PS I still have time to click on the likes.

Seriously Dave, you take it easy buddy, moving house is supposed to be one of the most stressful experiences you can experience

Thank you, Jack, It sure seems to be When the wife and I were young we could pack and move into a new place in 24 hrs sure can't do it now.

Absolutely Dave, 30 years ago I once moved to France on a whim of the missus, did all the packing and moving with the help of a few friends, and had to move back six months later A few years ago, I thought about moving and chickened-out, I just didn't want the stress or the physical exertion! Hope it goes smoothly my friend, keep a Lambsfoot handy

Thank you for this most beautiful knife Jack!

A pleasure my friend It is interesting to see the difference between that African Rosewood and the Indonesian Rosewood Wright's use today, both beautiful, but quite different

Once in a while I get that same shaky feeling. I’m no Doctor, but I do play one at home. Like you, I sit down. I also wonder if all that adrenaline leads to a low blood sugar level. I usually drink some OJ and it soon passes.

You’ll get through this, in your new home. You can’t rejoin us, because you never left.

After the longest wait ever...well it seemed that way! I have in my hands my first ever damascus, snake wood 1 of 5 Lambfoot knives from A. Wright and Son from Sheffield, England!!!

Love the knife already. Probably one of the fancier slip joints I own! Love the damascus and the snake wood is very nice! Great snaps that is just gonna get better over time! More importantly I really like the frame on this knife! I'm a huge sleeve board guy and this knife is just in my sweet spot for overall size. Just a tad bigger the my GEC #77 framed knives!

Thanks Jack Black !!!!

Incredible when you look at these back-springs, because it's quite clear they have been hand-filed. The Sheffield cutlers do this all the time, but what an incredible piece of work. I've seen it done, with just a file, and the cutler's eye, something from another time, and really special

That’s a fine tableau on the table. Cheers!

Exquisite, Taylor. Congrats!

Wow! Nice find on those Jelly Babies Vince (and a nice pic of your AC)

Was at the store looking for "Easter candy" for family members, and saw them. Couldn't pass them up! My favourites are buttered popcorn, liquorice, and coconut. Don't know yet if I will like these.
