How big is your flock of lambs?

The relics are the best. They have a more storied life.

A life well lived, as they say!

My answer is: Not big enough! But I’m working on it

 

[waynorth]

Is it lambsfoot or lambfoot?

Because Charlie’s knives say lambfoot, and he knows his stuff.

Not always!! Jack Black is the final arbiter!! He expained, but I can't find his post!!

Nice! I'd like to find a usable bone-handled vintage Lambsfoot.

Here's one more that Jack sent me. It might be a candidate for a makeover, but I haven't decided what to do with it yet.

Jack uses the term on first page of guardian thread " lambsfoot knives only."

Also #47 of guardian thread, it is discussed.

All the essentials for a fine flock Gary.

Thanks, Bob.
I'm to the point where my "sheepfold" has almost reached its maximum capacity. I doubt if I'll be out searching for "lost lambs" going forward.

Jack states on first page of guardian thread " lambsfoot knives only." Not sure about singles.

Thanks for the quick research, Bob!

I have these six and maybe others...

neat! i guess my tastes are starting to change a little bit, theres just something about a well preserved example of an older knife or knife from an older generation.

 

[SteveC]

Lambs come with two blades as well as one.

 

[black mamba]

Yes, Steve, and even with recent knives. The GEC #888222 is a two-blade lambsfoot with a very swoopy clip blade for company.

 

[Modoc ED]

I currently have seven Lambfoot knives. I don't anticipate adding nor do I want to add anymore to the pen.



As to Lambfoot/Lambsfoot - Almost all the Lambfoot knives I've seen - vintage and newer have "Real Lambfoot Knife" stamped/etched on their blades. Now why would a Lambfoot knife manufacturer stamp/etch "Real Lambfoot Knife" on a Lambsfoot he is making? Right or wrong, I use Lambfoot when referring to these knives.

David echoscout has me well beat

Doh! You’re right, of course. For some reason (despite having just read through the thread before posting) I mistook who had said they had 100+. Maybe I should stop posting at 2 AM.

Quick look 50+ with a few being built, in the mail, in the car and in golf bags.

Plus a few gladly given away.

Some serious Lambsfoot content in that pic, Bob! And they’re looking particularly good in that handsome Gerstner chest.

Jack Black hasn't posted here yet . . . I wonder how many the Master of the Guardians is hoarding???

From what I remember Jack saying previously about his various methods of knife storage, I’m guessing an exact number will remain a mystery.

Those are so cool, Steve! Especially the flag bolster stamp.

Thanks Barrett.
You are not alone, trying to speed read late at night and missing many key points.
