You see this all too often around Traditionals- about the warmth, sharing and generosity, to the degree its almost a daily occurrence!
With my job I am often on the road - or at my shops who I look after- and rarely call into work base- but when I did a day before Christmas - there was two packages waiting for me- one from our lad on the UK - Mr. Jack Black, and one from Mr Paul Hilborn
How I receive most of my knives is through a private contractor Post Master in North Dakota Mr. Hilborn, I apologise to people whom I have bought knives from here- as it is often months that I get to see the knives I have bought- and often I have forgotten who I have bought them from
Quite some time ago Mr Knife gifted several people in the Guardians of the Lambsfoot Gang each a stunning A Wright Horn Handled Lambsfoot, I struggle lately with time so when I visit here of late- so my Thread visits are quick- and usually interrupted...so basically Im starved
....literally starved of Traditional Knife feed 
.......so I was reading away in the Guardians and was totally surprised to see mentioned that I was actually one of the lucky recipients of young Mr Knife's generosity!!!!!
you guys KNOW what this is like- it's actually one hang of a lot easier gifting a knife rather than receive one! ... so after the initial shock...time sets in, and I wait until my knife quota builds up enough for Mr Hilborn ( aka Post Master ) to send off to me a box with goodies...
Just in time for Christmas too I can tell you- and what a Christmas gift it was!
Here is Mr Knifes ( Jack ) gorgeous Lambs Foot Knife- Love the Horn Handles Jack my friend, this knife is a beauty- and is being used on a super regular basis- to the degree it needs a touch up now as the Factory edge is now getting a bit dull- so I enjoy this getting to know my knife more by Sharpening it, well here it is......
Jack- Thank you SO, SO much for this, I have owned many Lambsfoot Knives in the past- some quite nice ones and have gifted them, and wouldnt you know it...they are starting to become quite scarce now, so it's great to have a wonderful A. Wright Knife- a Lambs Foot at that in my pocket my friend
NEXT is a Knife that Paul also included in the package with Jacks Lambsfoot- last year hit us hard eh guys with the loss of Bob..Oh man....Bob our mate was quite a guy eh? well Paul was able to buy ...I hope I am right...but I think it was after the passing of Bob...a Bob Modified HJ10 ...and Paul so thoughtfully gifted this knife to me.... a Bob one-of-a-kind Knife, Paul my friend Thank you for this sentimental Knife that will be used and also acts as a memory stone for me.
HJ's I have a wee soft spot for, Bob modified the Spear to a Clip-Point- and it's a HJ!!! so guess where this knife will be - yep...into the edc rotation with Jacks' Lamby!
Here is Bobs Mod- Paul mate- a heartfelt thanks to you- Oh boy... a few tears well up in the eyes while I type this but we unfortunately cannot change some things- so we make do with the best we have what's left- for us here it's only a touch of what Bobs Family had, but what a touch eh? so .....
A comparison to show how heavily Bob modified this Knife....
The Next Package that was waiting for me was from Mr. Jack Black...man this guy has to be one of the most generous guys that I have witnessed, all the time you see Jacks name mentioned with his kind, well thought of Gifts, you also receive wee Sheffield trinkets, post cards- the whole package is a pleasure to go through- not to mention a Knife!
Jack also included with a lovely Christmas Card ( now why have I never sent these?-shameful really ) a gorgeous A. Wright beautiful Horn handled HawksBill Pruner, talk about a Wright overload! but a good one I can tell you!.
This Knife has been used well also since it arrived, I love Pruners - and this knife is simply awesome, the Handles in the strong Sunlight - as Horn does, become quite Translucent - the knife has a Butt Plate to finish things off nicely- always adds such class these plates to the Pruners imo so I finally got a few hours to sit down outside, have a wee beer...ok ...a couple of Beers and take a few snaps, so here is Jacks wonderful gift to me, Jack my friend- Thank you SO MUCH for this gorgeous Knife - always when I pick up a knife- be it at home or at work and a knife that is gifted, I thank that person with a smile as the Blade is exposed to do the job.......
With an older A. Wright Sheffield ( no England )...
