I did not enter the contest (you said no "no entries").

I'm a back pain sufferer. From a relatively young age. 18 was my first momentarily paralized, go stiff and fall over, nearly impair my self on the pick axe I was swinging back pain.

It's happened many many times since.

I'll come back and post some pick's of my neck of the woods when I get home.


Congrats to the winner!

I know where you're coming from T, I was 16 when i had that (in my case), pull heavy toolbox out of the back of a low truck (what we call a van) and feel something give moment. Hope you're getting some relief with yours. Look forward to seeing the pics :thumbup:

Congrats Ron :thumbup:
Jack you are a legend of generosity around here.

 

[Half/Stop]

I've just been reading through this thread, and I really wish I had a box of these knives to give away! Many thanks to everyone who has entered, there are loads of really great posts, and some wonderful photographs, thanks for sharing something of your life with the rest of us :thumbup: Thanks also for all the well-wishes and advice on my back problems, I really hadn't realised how widespread sciatica was. For myself, for now, the worst of the pain has gone, just a little remaining. My legs still feel weak, particularly the left one, which has buckled a few times. I've been doing the exercises Ed recommended, and I'll be off to see an osteopath ASAP. Sadly, I only have one ebony Lambsfoot knife to give away, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get hold of another (if I do, you'll hear from me! ). The one below is the giveaway knife, my apologies for the poor pic, taken in my kitchen on what is a very gloomy English day. Thanks to Paul at The Famous Sheffield Shop, I was originally able to secure a pair, and I gifted the other to my friend Stephen 'Old & In The Way', who I hope will return to posting here one day. So whoever wins the knife is in good company I'll be writing the names of everyone whose entered on scraps of paper later (some of them on two scraps), and putting them in my traditional Yorkshire flat-cap for the draw. I'm on my own today, so I'm afraid I'll have to do it myself. Good luck everyone, and thanks once again for all your entries.

My very best wishes to all of you.

Jack

Jack - Thank you so much for even having an opportunity let alone to be the winner of this beauty. It makes me proud to be in the company of Old and in the Way. One of these days when I go to visit my daughter I may have to see about a reunion photo of the 2 knives back together. My daughter lives in the same area as Stephen. Oh yeah Jack, before I forget, please don't get any of them medicine packets in with my Lamb Foot. I can't fathom the idea of some customs agent with it in his pocket. My thanks once more for this wonderful GAW. Jack Black you are a class act my friend. :thumbup:

Congratulations Ron!
