Like many folks, I suffer with long-term back problems, and recently had to add sciatica to my long list of spinal woes. My absence over the past couple of weeks has only delayed still further the 20,000 post milestone which I originally anticipated reaching last year. So to mark that, and to say thanks for all the kind words and helpful advice during my recent travails, Id like to do a giveaway of a pattern I hold dear to my heart, a traditional Sheffield Real Lamb Foot.


These knives are only rarely available with ebony covers. The one above is mine, made by one of Sheffield's last cutlery firms, Arthur Wright & Son. The giveaway knife is just like this, but better unlike mine, it has the full makers mark on the tang stamp, and the traditional Real Lamb Foot blade etch. I'll post a pic when I'm fully back up and on my feet again.
The giveaway is open to everyone who posts here. Ive posted a lot in the past about the various Yorkshire towns and villages I visit, so please tell us a little about the place you live, or where you were born if you prefer. Photos are a bonus.
Your first post puts your name into the hat, so dont worry about multiple posts if you want to comment on something. If you have previously posted anything here about the Lambsfoot pattern, a link to your post (one is enough) will put your name into the hat twice.
No no entries Im afraid, everyone who posts gets entered
Thanks once again to all of you who make The Porch the great place it is.
