No apologies required, Jordon. So good to see a Lamb being put to proper use. The blue jigged bone looks beautiful.Apologies for the mediocre photo, but this lamb is stretching his legs on incoming package duty for us today.

Perfect knife for this job, the blade shape really shines here.
Morning folks,
Definitely Ron, well done to everyoneBased on direct experience, I have very little time for most of the UK knife dealers I'm afraid, and the bay is an ideal place for the unscrupulous to shift second-rate products. The only time I've ever bought seconds from the factory, I was able to examine them in person, and only bought a few, but Duane
sitflyer got a nice Pere David out of there, and I got this one in tooth (it has some small cracks around the pins)!
It was my first Lambsfoot and has a warm spot in my heart! Thanks Jack. 
Very nice!Wow, just saw this mention Jack, I've been occasionally lurking but some pressing issues have taken up a lot of my time lately.
The second that I have was the stag Big'un I like to call "lumpy" LOL, It actually has a really nice action on it, but the stag was fit a little weirdly, I remedied the issue by sanding some flats on the high spots. The knife oddly came with a polished blade with absolutely no attempt at even putting an edge on it, I laughed when I put my finger to it and felt the butterknife roundness of the blade.

That is a very interesting old Unity Lambfoot . I have not read all the other post yet , but I hope someone has asked for dimensions and does it have " ENGLAND " on the tang below SHEFFIELD ?
Thanks for all of that Jack ,it was very interesting to see that Jousting is still conducted , even though in a very small scale . Very sorry for your bad back .The tournament over, spoils went to the victorsEach year the participants vote on whom amongst their number has been the most chivalrous. They chose Jeffrey Wasson from New York City
The US team also won the Sword of Honour (presented by a bloke from the Royal Armouries who couldn't be bothered to dress up)
While Team UK galloped in to take the Queen's Golden Jubilee Horn (Andrew Deane has won it twice before, and the Sword of Honour seven times)
The knights ride out.
Yay! All our old pals are turning up! Great to see you Greg, sorry to hear life has been so hectic for you. Nice to hear your Lambsfoot is helping out my friend, hope e'll be seeing more of you again soon
Incredible story, Mike! Glad things are looking up, and you hung tough through it all! Prayers for you and your family!A Tale of Two (or three) Lambsfoot

I haven’t told these stories anywhere else on BF. I’m putting them here only because they are Lambsfoot connected.
It’s been a crazy year for me...
On May 15, 2018, I found out I had cancer. Well, not the day I knew officially, but the day I knew from what the doctors’ eyes were saying.
It was also the day I got Jack’s email for ordering the 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot. I contemplated not getting one, unsure about what was in store in the future, but ultimately decided I would regret not getting one.

The ebony Lambsfoot accompanied me through many appointments, surgery and chemo therapy. Things seem to be going well now, with all of these procedures doing what they needed to do. Obviously, there is more checking needed, but my mind has moved on to other things...
To pile on to the craziness, before chemo started, my wife and I conceived our third child. We gave birth to a baby girl recently, while I was carrying my 2019 Ironwood. I wanted to name her Chatoyance, but got vetoed...

Now, I’ve gotten a knife to commemorate the birth of each of my children, ones that I carry at each of their big life events, so the hunt was on to find one for the newborn, when another email from Jack shows up, saying there are some special Lambsfoot available. Well, here was the commemorative knife I was looking for!
Say hello to Rosie:

So, like I said, it’s been a pretty crazy year with a lot of ups and downs, but the Lambsfoot has been a dependable constant throughout.
Thanks, Guardians, and especiallyJack Black , for allowing me to share! Now for some gratuitous Damascus Lambsfoot pics:

Oh, so lovely!! Great shot, Dwight !Thanks Jack
Beautiful pic John.
Great post Rachel. My mom is also 85 and still trying to do everything she's always done. Sounds like a great reunion.
Same here Preston. It seems to help not to quote more than a page or two at a time.
Mike thank you for sharing your story. Wonderful to hear you have responded favorably to treatments and the future is looking bright. Beautiful knives representing the births of your children! Prayers and best wishes for you and your family.
Great knives posted today, especially the oldies.

Actually, the one I was thinking of was a different knife, I forget who it went to, it had a small cemented crack in the stag at the rear pin. I guess Lumpy was rejected before the sharpening phase. I just had a look to see if I had a pic of your knife before the sanding, but I couldn't find one, perhaps a good thing!
Just plano ol' GREAT foto, Jack!
Really sorry to hear about your back problems, got problems in my lower and upper back, I can empathize with you. Hope you get to feeling better my friend!

Mine again, encouraged by Preston, and via Petrified Wood: Working on the patina ...
Beautiful! Lucy in the sky. .
Fantastic pic there

Thanks Jack. I've been quite busy, but can't really complain. One of these days it'll slow down. In the meantime, rest assured that there's a lambsfoot in my pocket pretty much every day.
Sorry to hear that your back is giving you problems again. I'm glad you were able to make it through the tournament, though. Those photos were amazing and I bet it was quite something to behold in person!
Thought I'd carry my own Unity Lambsfoot today 
They do enjoy some free grazing time! Looks like a beautiful day, José!
Great photo, Dennis. Makes the patina look "artistic".
Very cool Lamb, Jack.
Thank you very much, Jack!Thank you very much Dennis, that is very kind
Good looking fella to have with you!Morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a good week
Hope you get to feeling better!Thank you very much, John!
