The Silence of The Lambsfoot

...First time I ever saw frozen fog was in February closed Heathrow for 2 days, darn placed looked like a dead concert was held there in two days they nearly drank the place dry and smoked every cigar in the airport.

did they start selling grilled cheese sandwiches off of ratty blankets in the concourses?


on topic; the only ovine-type blade i have is one of the secondaries on a buck 301. would like to get one as a main blade eventually; they look like they would be pretty easy to sharpen.

The blade of that lambsfoot reminds me of one of my Case "wharncliffes," seen below on the blue Mini Trapper, although the Case's blade does taper more to a point (noint noint):

Interestingly, black mamba just noted the same in another sheepsfoot thread (same Case blade, but as a main):

This main blade is usually described as a Wharncliffe, but looks more like the lambsfoot blades shown here. Case Copperhead.

Jack Black: I just ran away.
Pertinux: No "just", Jack. What set you off? You started at what time?
Jack Black: Early, still dark.
Pertinux: Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
Jack Black: I heard a strange noise.
Pertinux: What was it?
Jack Black: It was... clanging. Some kind of clanging, like a broken trash compactor.
Pertinux: What did you do?
Jack Black: I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
Pertinux: And what did you see, Jack? What did you see?
Jack Black: Lambs foot knives. The Lambs foot knives were clanging.
Pertinux: They were throwing away the stainless steel Lambs foot knives?
Jack Black: And they were clanging.
Pertinux: And you ran away?
Jack Black: No. First I tried to buy them. I... I offered money to the vendor, but they wouldn't sell. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't sell.
Pertinux: But you could and you did, didn't you?
Jack Black: Yes. I took one Lambs foot knife, and I ran away as fast as I could.
Pertinux: Where were you going, Jack?
Jack Black: I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it was very cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but... it was a copy. Just a copy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The vendor was so angry he sent me to live at the Pub in Yorkshire. I never saw the shop again.

and a kitten immediately after diving between two adult males and thereby declaring herself one of "Us Cats,"

Looks like a nice knife. Are the bolsters stainless steel?

The scales on your A Wright are some really nice wood.

Thank you. Yes they are.

The scales on the Wright knife are rosewood.
